Transform LUNA into API's Flagship Analog Console

From Fleetwood Mac's Rumours to Radiohead's In Rainbows, API desks add character, color, and punch to everything that passes through them. The API Vision Console Emulation Bundle turns LUNA into a full API console letting you track in realtime through API preamp and channel modules, then mix with API's illustrious analog summing and bus compression.

Included in This Bundle

A Genuine API Console, Right on your Desktop

Built into the fabric of LUNA's mixer, the API Vision Console Emulation is the first of its kind. A complete, end‑to‑end emulation, these LUNA Extensions let you fill your LUNA sessions with rich API tone — and without floating plug‑in windows. You can quickly "paint" API Vision Console channel strips across your entire mix.

Everything you Need to Record & Mix

Each channel strip in the API Vision Console Emulation gives you access to six of API's iconic L-Series modules. From the punch and presence of the 212L preamp and colorful 225L compressor and musical 235L gate/expander, to the powerful tone shaping of the 550L/560L EQs and sweepable 215L Hi and Lo pass filters, you can sculpt with bold API tone.

Add API Analog Summing for Rich Harmonics

When audio sources flow through an API console — specifically the 2520 op‑amps and custom output transformers — natural analog nonlinearities work together, creating musical harmonics and transient clipping — giving your summed signals punch, depth, and character for a mid‑forward, lively mix.

Apply Classic In-Line API Console Compression

Revered for adding energy and movement, the Vision console’s "in-line" version of the API 2500 Bus Compressor gives your buses and master fader all of the analog glue and mid-forward attitude that put API on the map.

Experience A First of its Kind

From the input stage to bus summing and the master fader, there's never been a digital workflow that so thoroughly emulates the large-format analog console experience like the API Vision Console Emulation. Now you can harness the same inspired workflow used on countless hit records, complete with the cohesion, character, and color of a classic API desk.

Go Beyond LUNA…

The API Vision Console Emulation Bundle also includes UAD plug‑in versions of the API Preamp, Vision Channel Strip Collection, and API 2500 Bus Compressor, letting you track and mix in realtime with Apollo and your favorite DAW.

    Awesome

    One of my go-to pieces for almost every mix. I just wish UA would drop more emulations( like Neve or SSL consoles)

    Having the API Emulation is just astounding!

    The only thing I would've done is bought the Neve Emulation but I'm not sure that'll every happen. That being said, I've never worked on an API console so I don't know what to compare it to, but to my unadulterated ears, this is the best thing I bought from UA other than the LA 2A. I love everything about this bundles from the 2 bus, pre's and channel strip. Combined with master tape and channel tape, I have warmth and studio sound beyond what I could've ever hoped for. You won't regret getting this.

    Pleasantly Surprised

    As I already owned a few of the bundled API plugins I waited for the emulation bundle to finally go on sale to get the bundle, and so glad that I took this dive into more API waters. The summing alone is an absolute game changer. And both my tracks and buses have come alive using nothing but this emulation. Having the choice of the two EQs is also an awesome addition. Yet another convincing addition to my LUNA arsenal, it's hard to go back other DAWs after this.
