Large console style mixing from your laptop, tablet or smartphone
48 Channel Mixing
A flexible, dynamic, scalable mixing experience.
With almost twice the DSP power of MOTU's award-winning
line of "mk3" audio interfaces, the 8pre-es mixer
provides up to 48 assignable input channels.
Aux bus mixing
Long-throw faders for aux sends
The Aux Mixing tab lets you zero in on a single aux bus and control send levels with long-throw faders, just
like hardware console that let you temporarily "flip" aux sends to the channel faders... perfect for detailed
mixing on any aux bus.
Monitor Mix / Solo Bus
Convenient dedicated monitoring
The Monitor Mix is specifically designed for monitoring.
It can mirror any other bus, or act as a solo bus
for isolating all currently soloed inputs, aux busses or
groups. You can, of course, create additional monitor
mixes with seven available aux busses.
32-bit floating point processing
Virtually infinite headroom
The 8pre-es mixing and DSP effects engine employs
32-bit floating point processing, which produces virtually
infinite headroom for complex mixing and processing
calculations, along with an infinitesimally low
noise floor.
Modeled analog EQ
Precise and musical equalization
British analog mixing consoles are renowned for their musical EQ
profiles. The 8pre-es meticulously models these classic EQ curves
to give you the very same, magical EQ settings found on these
coveted desks. Four separate filters are available on every input,
including optional low-shelf and high-shelf.
Classic Reverb
An all-around verb with tails up to 60 seconds
The 8pre-es Classic Reverb™ provides three frequency bands
with adjustable cross-over points, predelay, spread and reverb
lengths up to 60 seconds. Perfect for monitor mixes when
tracking in the studio or for treating vocals during a live show.
Leveler
Finely crafted vintage compression
The Leveler™ is an accurate model of the legendary Teletronix™
LA-2A™ optical leveling amplifier, known for its unique and highly
sought-after Automatic Gain Control (AGC) characteristics. The
heart of the LA-2A is the T4 opto-coupler, a photoelectric device
with almost magical (signal dependent) self-adjusting behavior
that makes optical compressors the tool of choice for smoothing
out just about any audio material.
Gate and HPF
Gating and high-pass filtering on every input
Each input is equipped with a standard high-pass filter and gate
module for removing rumble, environmental noise, and other
signal clean-up tasks.
