Focusrite's Liquid Mix 16 is based on the same technology that brought
the audio world the acclaimed Liquid Channel. Now Focusrite brings
Liquid Technology to everyone at a much more accessible price. The
innovative Liquid Mix 16 offers emulations of 40 compressors and 20 EQs
with a FireWire Hardware controller, and at a pricepoint lower than
previous Liquid Technology products. Thanks to its built-in DSP, you
can have up to 16 channels of vintage or modern compression and EQ with
one Focusrite Liquid Mix 16 - all without a load being placed on your
computer!
16 channels of great sound
Each of the sixteen mono channels provides Compressor and EQ emulations
selectable from a huge pool of high-quality vintage and modern day
classics. Forty Compressors and 20 EQs are available straight out of
the box, with some additional emulations available for free online. As
with the original Liquid Mix, a hybrid seven-band 'super EQ' is
available in every instance, built out of separate classic EQ sections.
Compressor "Free" mode
Liquid Mix 16 also offers a 'free' mode for the compressor. Original
compressors with limited or absent controls suddenly become fully
featured - yours to use as you choose. Each channel appears as a
separate VST/AU/RTAS effect within the sequencer and will work within
all major applications, including Pro Tools. The same optional expansion card
is available for both Liquid Mix and Liquid Mix 16. With Liquid Mix 16,
the card allows users to increase the number of available channels at
48kHz from 16 to 24 (sold separately).
Liquid legacy
Liquid Mix uses the same patented Dynamic Convolution process as
Focusrite's other Liquid products. Unlike standard convolution
techniques, Dynamic Convolution utilizes vast processing power to
sample the effect of a classic processor on a series of audio pulses,
at many different gain settings and frequencies. All this processing is
done using onboard DSP, so the processing has a relatively low effect
on your computer's own CPU, (variable subject to the sequencer used).
Liquid Mix 16s DSP is housed within an elegant desktop control solution
and connects to the computer via Firewire, which also provides
bus-powering. The physical metering, rotary controls and buttons from
the original Liquid Mix are provided here. The hardware helps to
provide a tactile ergonomic solution, placing the sounds of an array of
classic processors at your fingertips. You can choose to control each
channel either from the desktop control unit, or from within the
sequencer or an alternative controller, using the same simple GUI from
Liquid Mix, which functions exactly like a plug-in.
