Apogee: What’s new at NAMM ’22

Apogee has released a suite of new products at this year’s NAMM Show. There’s a download of Soft Limit for free, Symphony I/O Mk II for ATMOS, iOS control for Duet 3, and a free Ableton Live Lite license with Duet 3 purchase.

 LEGENDARY LIMITING — FREE DOWNLOADING
Soft Limit has been an integral feature of Apogee converters since the AD-500, their first standalone A-D converter released in 1991. And now, for the very first time, this simple but highly effective analog tape emulation is available as an audio plugin, and for free.

Highlights:

• Round your audio signal’s transients, increasing apparent loudness while controlling extraneous digital peaks
• Add analog tape-like harmonics and subtle warmth
• Drive the input knob to conjure crunchy thickness that never gets harsh

Available June 2022
