New Music Gear Monday: UAD AMS RMX16 Plugin

There is so much new gear coming out for the upcoming AES show that it's an exciting time. One of the things I'm most excited about is the new AMS RMX16 plugin for the Universal Audio UAD platform. The original hardware box had a very distinctive sound that, along with the SSL 4k buss compressor, is really the sound of the 80s in many ways.

The algorithms in the RMX16 plug are exactly the same as the hardware unit, and includes those wonderful Ambience and Non-linear programs that we all used so much way back then. There are also a number of features that are unique to the plugin that weren't on the original hardware unit like dry/wet mix, wet solo, and much easier editing.

The plugin costs $349, and of course, you need a UAD-2 DSP card or Apollo interface. Check out the video below that features Mark Crabtree, the original designer of the RMX16.
