Liquid Mix HD News from Focusrite: Liquid Mix HD is Focusrite’s latest addition to the award-winning Liquid Mix range. Liquid Mix HD delivers the power of Focusrite Liquid technology exclusively to the Pro Tools HD user.
Providing the same pool of classic EQ and Compressor emulations, the Focusrite Liquid Mix HD combines the sound of priceless and historically significant compressors and EQs with all the benefits of operating directly inside the Pro Tools HD environment. Over 60 instances can be used simultaneously on an HD 3 system, and thanks to Pro Tools HD's low latency environment, they can be used for both recording and mixing.
Each instance of the LiquidMix HD plug-in provides one Compressor and one EQ emulation, selectable from a huge pool of high-quality vintage and modern day classics. Forty Compressors and twenty EQs are available straight out of the box, with some additional emulations available for free online.
Liquid Mix HD uses the same, patented ‘Dynamic Convolution’ process as Focusrite’s other Liquid technology products. Dynamic Convolution (unlike standard convolution techniques) utilises vast processing power to sample the effect of a classic processor on a series of audio pulses, at many different gain settings and frequencies. This results in impressive emulations derived from immense banks of actual samples, recorded using each one of the 60 different analogue processors selectable when Liquid Mix HD is first installed.
As with the original Focusrite LiquidMix, a hybrid user-defined seven-band ‘super EQ’ is available in every instance, built out of separate classic EQ bands. Liquid Mix HD also offers the same ‘free’ mode for all compressors; original compressors with limited or absent controls suddenly become fully featured!
Liquid Mix HD will be shipping in the UK in November 2008. Pre-order your Focusrite Liquid Mix HD from Digital Village: the UK's No.1 Focusrite Liquid dealer.
