The sound behind five decades of landmark albums, API consoles are legend for good reason. From Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, to The Cure’s Pornography and Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief — the mid‑forward punch of API’s classic analog consoles breathe aggressive, multi‑dimensional color into your mixes.

Developed in partnership with API, exclusively for LUNA Recording System, the API Summing Extension emulates the 2520 op‑amp and custom output transformer-based summing amps found in legendary API consoles over the past 50 years — giving your LUNA mixes all the attitude and tone of API’s esteemed analog desks.

I haven’t tried API Summing yet, but I plan to over the holidays.
