The EMI TG12345 Channel Strip from Waves is a plug-in that emulates the sound of the legendary EMI solid-state console that helped shape the recordings of bands such as the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and more. Using component modeling technology, the plug-in emulates every feature of the original console, including the input microphone preamp, its harmonic distortion and hum and noise, the bass and treble EQ bands from the mic cassette, the presence EQ band from the console’s group/main section, the lush sounding spreader, and the console’s compressor/limiter.

The plug-in has additional features to accommodate modern mixing needs, including a high-pass filter on the compressor’s sidechain, a mix control in the dynamics section for parallel compression/limiting, a drive control, and more. The software also offers routing options that cover the entire TG12345 line, from the original MK I desk on which it was modeled, to the final MK IV models. The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.
