Plug in your audio interface and Desk48 gives each input its own channel strip: trim, high-pass and low-pass filters, phase invert, gate or expander, compressor, four-band EQ, pan, mute, solo and fader. Up to 48 channels, with aux sends, a monitor section for speakers, headphones and a recording feed, saved sessions, and an iPad or iPhone remote that works over your own Wi-Fi or a USB cable.
What it does
- Analogue-style VU meters, a tuner and a test tone on every channel.
- Desk sizes of 8, 16, 24, 32 or 48 strips, and stereo link for pairs of channels.
- Eight aux sends per channel, each patched to its own hardware output.
- A first-run set-up that finds the smallest buffer size your interface handles cleanly.
What you need
- Mac
