Clearmountain 8068

About

Clearmountain 8068 is a dynamics plugin by Plugin Alliance. It models the custom Neve 8068 console of engineer Bob Clearmountain, including every circuit and component of the console. It includes a fader module and a 3-band EQ with expanded frequency points over the classic 1073, plus a High-Q mode. It offers Line and Mic input modes, and Mic mode has an automatic gain that keeps output levels consistent.

What it sounds like

Line mode gives console warmth and subtle harmonic richness, while Mic mode gives bolder saturation and aggressive drive. Pushing the extreme settings in Mic mode produces lo-fi grit and snarl.
