Todd shows me API's new take on their very popular console, the Box. This is an ideal console for a small home or project studio, and a cheap solution to get the signature API sound.

You actually can use the summing inputs 1-16 to track through. External pre or DI into a sum input and use the insert send as an output to DAW.

[@HyruleDude]

Really ? So I can in essence add 16 mono channels of mic pre’s on the summing channels ?

[@heartpath1]

@@HyruleDude yes. Using the insert send as a direct output to interface doesn’t give you fader control obv but if you set the preamp gain correctly it shouldn’t be an issue.

[@HyruleDude]

@@heartpath1 awesome! Thank you! One more question, what if I wanted to use a Different master buss compressor , can that be routed to the program master as opposed to using the onboard compressor for the master channel ?

[@heartpath1]

@@HyruleDude yup - just patch it into the program insert. The onboard comps are great for tracking and mixing but I rarely use as a master comp.

[@HyruleDude]

@@heartpath1 That’s great! Thanks for the help. I’m looking at this or the SSL xl desk . API unit seems like a great deal though I must say.

[@fretbuzz4983]

thanks!!

How can I use my external hardware with this unit. Currently I use a liasion

[@trevorsanders6684]

Super rad, but I have to laugh when he says home/project studio and the cost is $17,000

[@RecordingStudioRockstars]

Trevor Sanders ha! A very serious home project studio indeed :-)

[@b.f.m.1906]

@@RecordingStudioRockstars jesus! "serious home" will never spend 17k unless rich. Not as an intelligent marketing strategy as I would have expected to wait this time from u :(. Unless there were lots of "serious dudes" with that amount of cash Im sure not everyone will be spending that, until it decreases on price in the next 3 or 4 years... Im sure things like X-desk suits more this "project studio" tendency (whether pro or not) this days u know (no offence). Anyways, amazing product API. Would so much love to produce amazing things with you one day. God bless

[@WorldBurial]

@@b.f.m.1906 This is a great product and I understand the price but it might indeed be a bit much for "the little home/project studio" :P Even an SSL X-desk is more than what most get. On the other hand, I've read that The Box sold quite well which allowed them to make this improved version.

[@b.f.m.1906]

@@WorldBurial I see. Well, facts mean a lot more than suppositions. How great that they sold many consoles.

[@andrewwhitehouse1878]

30K in my part of the world 😂

[@tnossis5829]

Does it have recall?

[@RecordingStudioRockstars]

t nossis I don’t believe it does. But it’s such a small console that it would be easy to take photos with an iPhone for recall.

[@siriusfun]

The automation package alone on a 1608 adds an additional 12K to the price.
