Focusrite Liquid Mix...

Another addition to the family of DSP sidecars for your DAW, which includes the PowerCore and UAD-1. This bad boy is the Focusrite Liquid Mix. Obviously a permutation of the Liquid Channel; I assume it uses the same cloning technology. There is enough DSP in the box to run 32 EQs and 32 dynamics processors, which is more than enough for most projects, and certainly more than either the PoCo or UAD1 can pull off. (A total of 64 simultaneous plugs. Think about that.)

Each individual plug can be controlled from the UI of the unit itself, or via a small generic VST/RTAS/AU plugin GUI. All in all, it seems to be a pretty slick unit. I imagine this is embargoed until it is announced at Messe, but
someone jumped the gun and thus I reproduce it here, in the public interest. The price? £499, which I think is pretty reasonable for what you get. I’ll certainly wait until someone who’s opinion I trust gets one and provides a thorough review, but this might be the outboard DSP I finally talk myself in to getting.
