Focusrite Releases Liquid 4PRE 4-Channel Microphone Preamp

March 2009 sees the eagerly awaited release of Liquid 4PRE's Pro Tools TDM/RTAS control plug-in. The plug-in can operate alongside Liquid 4PRE's standalone control application 'Liquid4Control', and provides integrated remote control via Pro Tools software and hardware, including Icon and Venue systems.

As a Pro Tools TDM/RTAS plug-in, it brings a host of other benefits, including comprehensive automation and session integration. This enables, for example, automated gain control of all four pre-amps and full recall of all pre-amp settings (including emulation choice), as part of the Pro Tools session.

Focusrite's LIQUID4PRE™ four-channel microphone pre-amplifier utilizes The Liquid Channel™'s proven Liquid™ technology, marrying a hugely flexible analogue front end with cutting-edge dynamic convolution DSP to deliver the sounds of 40 vintage and classic microphone pre-amplifiers across all four channels. Augmented by fully digital controls, remote software control over Ethernet and integrated Pro Tools plug-in control software, LIQUID4PRE provides the ultimate fluid multi-channel front-end.

The Liquid 4PRE Pro Tools TDM/RTAS control plug-in is available to download for free.
