Plugin Alliance – Apogee Bundle

Complete Professional Mixing, Recording, and Mastering Plugin Collection

Plugin Alliance Apogee Bundle is a comprehensive collection of professional audio plugins designed for music producers, recording engineers, mixing specialists, mastering engineers, and modern music creators. Bringing together ten processors developed by Apogee Electronics and featuring the signature sound-shaping approaches associated with Bob Clearmountain, this bundle combines vintage-inspired analog character with versatile digital processing.

From console modeling and classic equalization to optical compression, convolution reverb, stereo modulation, and peak control, the Apogee Bundle provides a diverse set of tools for shaping vocals, drums, bass, guitars, synthesizers, instrument groups, and complete mixes.

Whether you're working on commercial recordings, electronic music, cinematic compositions, or independent productions, this collection offers a flexible processing toolkit for adding clarity, depth, character, and cohesion to your sound.

Ten Professional Audio Plugins in One Bundle

The Apogee Bundle includes ten dedicated mixing and sound-processing plugins, covering essential tonal, dynamic, spatial, and creative effects. Each processor serves a different purpose, allowing you to build a versatile mixing workflow without relying on a single processing style.

The collection includes five Clearmountain processors, the ECS2 Channel Strip, two vintage-inspired equalizers, an optical compressor, and a soft-limiting processor.

Clearmountain 8068 v1.20.0 – Vintage Console Modeling

Clearmountain 8068 brings the character of Bob Clearmountain's customized British 8068-style mixing console into your DAW. Its console-inspired modeling combines harmonic coloration with practical equalization and input-stage controls for shaping individual tracks and buses.

Key capabilities include a three-band EQ, high-Q mode, Mic and Line input modes, saturation, and automatic gain control.

Use Clearmountain 8068 to add console-style character, refine tonal balance, and introduce subtle harmonic richness to vocals, drums, guitars, bass, and synthesizers.

Clearmountain Dance v1.18.0 – Rhythmic Stereo Effects

Clearmountain Dance is designed for creating rhythmic stereo delay effects, movement, and spacious textures inspired by Bob Clearmountain's production techniques.

It can help transform straightforward recordings into more animated and spatially interesting sounds, making it useful for vocals, percussion, synthesizers, and electronic instruments.

Use it to add rhythmic echoes, create stereo width, enhance transitions, or introduce movement into otherwise static parts of a mix.

Clearmountain Domain v1.4.0 – Creative Vocal and Spatial Processing

Clearmountain Domain combines multiple processing stages into a flexible effects environment. Its toolset includes de-essing, three-band EQ, stereo delay, saturation, pitch shifting, and three convolution reverbs.

This combination makes it possible to shape the tone of a source while adding depth, stereo movement, and distinctive ambience.

Use Domain for detailed vocal effects, spacious instrumental layers, creative delays, and cohesive atmospheric processing that helps individual sounds occupy their own space in a mix.

Clearmountain Phases v1.1.0 – Vintage Phasing and Flanging

Clearmountain Phases delivers vintage-inspired phasing and flanging based on models associated with rare mid-1970s rack processors.

Its modulation-focused design supports classic sweeping effects as well as more experimental tonal movement. Apply it to guitars, synthesizers, vocals, electric piano, or sustained textures to introduce motion and character.

From subtle modulation to pronounced swirling effects, Clearmountain Phases provides a creative option for producers seeking distinctive movement beyond conventional delay and reverb.

Clearmountain Spaces v1.1.0 – Signature Convolution Reverb

Clearmountain Spaces provides access to three signature Clearmountain convolution spaces for adding depth and ambience to recordings.

Its controls include input EQ, de-essing, pre-delay, classic presets, and a real-time visualizer. These features help you shape the tonal balance and timing of the reverb while maintaining control over how the effect interacts with the original source.

Use Spaces to add atmosphere to vocals, establish depth between instruments, enhance percussion, or create more immersive spatial environments for cinematic and electronic productions.

ECS2 Channel Strip v2.0.0 – Vintage-Inspired Track Processing

ECS2 Channel Strip combines equalization, compression, and saturation in a streamlined channel-processing environment inspired by vintage 1970s hardware and tuned by Bob Clearmountain.

Instead of building every channel from several separate plugins, you can use its integrated processing tools to shape tone, control dynamics, and add character within one interface.

ECS2 is suitable for vocals, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, and instrument buses where fast, musical processing is an important part of the workflow.

EQP-1A v3.2.0 – Classic Passive Equalization

EQP-1A recreates the musical approach associated with the legendary Pultec EQP-1A-style equalizer. Its broad tonal shaping makes it useful for enhancing the weight, presence, and overall character of recorded sources.

Apply it to add body to bass and kick drums, introduce high-frequency sheen to vocals and instruments, or refine the tonal balance of buses and mixes.

For producers seeking classic analog-inspired equalization, EQP-1A offers a complementary approach to more surgical digital EQ tools.

MEQ-5 v3.3.0 – Vintage Midrange Control

MEQ-5 focuses on the midrange, one of the most important frequency areas for clarity, presence, and separation in a mix.

Its vintage-inspired equalization approach helps shape the character of vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards, and other midrange-heavy sources.

Use MEQ-5 to emphasize important musical details, refine instrument definition, and help individual parts sit more effectively within a dense arrangement.

Opto-3A v3.2.0 – Smooth Optical Compression

Opto-3A provides optical-style compression and limiting for controlling dynamics with a smooth, musical response.

It is particularly useful for sources that benefit from consistent levels without unnecessarily aggressive dynamic processing. Apply it to vocals, bass, guitars, and other instruments to manage level variations and create a more controlled performance.

Opto-3A can also help add density and cohesion to selected tracks, making it a useful option for both corrective and character-driven compression.

Soft Limit v1.1.0 – Analog-Inspired Peak Control

Soft Limit provides analog-inspired peak control, saturation, and loudness shaping for individual tracks, buses, and mixes.

Its soft-limiting approach helps manage transient peaks while adding harmonic character. Optional oversampling provides a higher-quality processing option for demanding applications.

Use Soft Limit when you want to control peaks, add density, or refine the level of a signal while retaining a musical presentation. As with any limiter, settings should be adjusted carefully to avoid excessive distortion or unwanted loss of dynamics.
