"I think that you have never heard an EQ, if you haven't tried the API's.
"The 560 sounds killer on the bass drum and it adds a punch and a definition on the highs that nothing can compare with it. The 550's on guitars are superb. They give you just what you need – it's unbelievable. When you are mixing guitars, you say mmm.. they are nice, very nice, but let's try to pass them through the 550b. Whoaa!! The magic is done. You'll never come back. I use them also for mastering; they can give you a color that no other EQ is capable of. The highs are ten thousand times more brilliant, without changing the balance of the mix.
"The 512c's are my first choice for tracking most of the stuff that I record. I love what they are able to give you on a Male Vocal, or on a kick or snare. I love them also on guitars, they can add beautiful harmonics that no other pre can give you.
"And what about the 2500? For tracking it's great to control the transients of the drums' overheads, or ambient microphones. On mixing, it's able to give you its best, like parallel compression, and adds tons of punch and definition on drums, but also on guitars and bass. I think it's the most versatile compressor on market. The 2500 is a beautiful compressor also for mastering; I use it just as a color in my works. If I don't use tape, I go directly to the buss compressor.
"I really love API's stuff. Guys, you have changed my work style. Thanks for everything."
