N-Console combines the most up-to-date technologic resources with a range of exciting features that will significantly optimize and facilitate the way our community approach mixing.

Key Features

  • N-Console can be used subtly or aggressively (to overdrive virtual or real instruments).
  • Two saturation modes: Normal (subtle distortion, high dynamic range) and Fat (hotter signal, lower dynamic range).
  • Optional Stereo Crosstalk feature creates a sense of depth and three-dimensionality in your mixes.
  • Filters (both low and high pass) are tuned to sound sweet and pleasant to the ear.
  • Saturation can be disabled to use N-Console for trim and metering purposes.
  • Buss instance has three color modes to use in your master track: Default no color, Master loudness, and Master bright.
  • Instances can be grouped creating the possibility of affecting all instances by making changes to just one.
  • With zero latency (if no oversampling), no group delay, and careful optimization for low CPU consumption.
  • Bit Depth: Internal 64-bit floating-point double precision.

       Extra settings

  • Trim as Drive: Get that coveted overdriven sound with ease by simply adjusting the gain with our Trim as Drive feature.
  • Meter Pre: This control places the metering before the saturation..
  • Filters Pre: Clean up your audio signal by placing high-pass and low-pass filters before adding saturation.
  • Out: This control adjusts the audio output level.
  • Mix: Achieve the perfect balance of processed and unprocessed audio with the MIX control, making your tracks sound more dynamic and alive.

Mix with confidence using VU metering.

To access the VU Calibration control, click above the VU meter. This control allows toggling between 0VU equaling -26 to -14 dBFS.

Grouping

Create and customize group names to easily identify and control multiple instances at once.
N-Console’s Grouping Controls allow you to turn on/off saturation and FAT mode for all grouped busses and channel instances with just one click. The fader controls the input volume of the instances in the group, and it can be applied to channels, busses, or both. Additionally, the GLOBAL SATURATION BYPASS (BYP) bypasses saturation to all grouped instances, while the FAT MODE SWITCH turns on/off FAT mode for all groups.
Experience the ultimate mixing flexibility with N-Console’s Grouping feature.

    super fantastic emulators have. a. NEVE 8212 behonest this plugin is same,thanks a lot

  7. Anonymous (verified owner)

    It’s a really great plugin. Honestly. It sounds great and you can hear the differences in sound when adjusting parameters. The CPU usage is fantastic, which is something usually a problem in channel strip plugins especially. The graphics are awesome and it is certainly eye candy! However there are some negatives unfortunately that I hope will be addressed asap. The purchasing mechanism is problematic and seems hit and miss. I tried purchasing further plugins via a request form and never received a reply. Shame. Perhaps as I’d moaned about the strange payment mechanism, they no longer want my custom? Overall 10/10 for the plugin go buy it (if you can)

    A really well-made plugin, which I think I will always put in my projects. The only thing that can be a bit tricky is the vu meter setting, which is not always easy to choose

  20. Glenn Smith (verified owner)

    Wow.. I engineer Reggae, Soul, Amapiano, Afrobeats, Hip-hop, EDM (house, dubstep, trapstep, etc. And boy I tell you.. This thing is AMAZING on all genres. There is no “This only works for this or that”, because it works on source!!! Great guys.. Great!!

  21. Green Lion (verified owner)

    It’s got three knobs and three buttons. The amount of magic the Sonimus wizards are able to squeeze out of three knobs and three buttons is amazing, and the minimalist approach to “that console sound” delivers you exactly that.

    It’s not another channel strip and it doesn’t try to be. It’s better. You have better compressors than those in other brands’ channel strips, you have better EQs too. If you’re buying channel strips for the “console/analogue flavour” then don’t; buy this instead. There is NO fat on this, just the essentials to give you that Neve sound.

    Been in the home and small-time studio game for 20-odd years and this very thing is what I’ve lusted after. It’s REALLY hard to make it sound bad! Go as mad as you want on the drive, but do watch the “push” and “fat” buttons as the manual says (powerful little tools.) At long long last this *IS* the big desk sound in your DAW.

  22. Verified Buyer (verified owner)

    Great console for a great dynamik sound

  23. Marco D. (verified owner)

    Sounds amazing and creates nice analogi‘sh depth and saturation!

  24. Rory (verified owner)

    The many positive reviews made me decide to just take the risk and buy it without demo’ing it (I could not find a link to a demo on the site, i took a a star off to sanction this omission hehe….) . It was well worth it. This plugin which is actually a set of different modules is really impressive. It genuinely creates a sense of depth and weight in your mix. That “3d” kind of feeling that we crave when working in the box and usually takes a lot of effort to recreate, it delivers that. A console style vibe. In a way that is not gimmicky (like another plugin company I won’t mention ;) but actually dead simple. The saturation and coloring is really convincing and pleasing to the ear. Put it on the every track and/or bus and master.

  25. Flavio Gaete (verified owner)

    Very happy!

  26. ali bilal (verified owner)

  34. Mackenzie Bunch (verified owner)

    Amazing filters, incredible tone. Love the improvements from Britson.

  35. Frode Martinsen (verified owner)

    I just bought this plugin, and i must say im amazed of the results. Ive worked on Neve consoles, and i always like the summing part of the console. This plugin gave med same results. Often with these kind of plugins i have to tweek to get the result, but this one gave me instant vibe. Great work Sonimus, i already put this plugin in y template. :)

  36. michael epp (verified owner)

    Smooth filtering and saturation. All that is missing is a bypass, so we can easily hear before and after. Also I like how Console A, you right click to access the drive features. Other than those two things, the sound is great.

  37. Mike Mills (verified owner)

    I love it! Just gotta figure out how to automate the groups in Reaper

  38. Aleksandr Khrapov (verified owner)

    Soft saturation. Simple interface. No bugs. Crosstalk perfect

  39. ANTONIO ALBERTO (verified owner)

    Coolest!

  40. Roberto Traista (verified owner)

    It just gives that 10-20% which is missing from your mix! Actaully you own a neve desk for 49 dollars! Gain stage also helps for you make well balanced mixes and also everything which goes throw this plugin makes it feel warmer and more glue together! Also makes mastering way much easier as your end result already sounds well balanced! From now using it on all my products!

  41. PHILIPPE VESIC (verified owner)

    Completely satisfied, just it Wil be great to add Solo/Mute… And For each channel strip to calibrate the VUmeter (since 0db)… But sounds great, and I really like the low CPU… For the VUmeter need also the RMS

  46. Mike Kravets (verified owner)

    So far it’s the best software summing approach I’ve used ! Only one thing I’m missing – turnable ability to have a total control of all grouped elements from master grouping page, like mix, output volume, and maybe filters too :)

  47. Andrey (verified owner)

    Very unique and authentic sounding

  48. James B. (verified owner)

    N-Console is a really beautiful, elegant system designed for those seeking a warm initial analogue channel strip feel, and overall console magic, including cross-talk, saturation, grouping and mix buss summing.

    The ability to switch the fader function to input drive only (Trim as Drive) is great if you want to experiment with tone shaping with a fixed output level.

    In standard fader mode, it’s also useful to have an extra channel fader, especially if you have a lot of automation on that channel and just need to adjust levels globally, as a retrospective gesture, for instance.

    Everything is intuitive with this system.

    The GUI is beautiful! Not that this matters sonically, but it is nice to work with such pretty tools.

    I have started working with this, and with A-Console, which has a very 3-D punch to it, and a nice glossiness. Both consoles make a compelling case for themselves. You may find yourself using N-Console on one type of production, A-Console on others. I can’t say one is “better”.

    These systems are priced very reasonably, compared others. Don’t think that “cheap” is “cheap sounding” though – these sound expensive!

    Regardless of price, I’d say these are unbeatable plugins, and they are pretty easy on your CPU.

    I would respectfully suggest Sonimus offer 14 day trials, in line with many of the other developers out there.

    I bought these on the strength of the recommendations and reviews I read, and I obviously don’t regret it; it’s more the case that I believe Sonimus would gain more well-deserved sales if folks could ‘try before they buy’.

    In summary: WOW!

  49. Andy L. (verified owner)

    Put it on every track and crank it up – perfect

  50. Mark S. (verified owner)

    It gives me the shimizzle on the top and the whoop whop on the flip flop..no seriously, good price, stellar sound, no regret. I use it in combination with Burnley73 to get the Neve vibe on my synths, drums and busses. It sounds warm, but not cheap, it’s polished and over all clean. So, streight on every track it goes..low on CPU also.

  51. Anonymous (verified owner)

    Very nice strip channel to emulate an analog console.

  52. fademasterk2 (verified owner)

    Really great! The N-Console analog emulation plugin sounds excellent & easy to use. It adds space, depth and saturation. Light on CPU as well. Thanks, Erron Smith.

  53. Vladimir K. (verified owner)

    Excellent masterpiece! I used to work with real Neve 8014 decades ago, and have to confirm, that this little beast is very-very close to hardware, impacting overall sonic quality (real Neve stuff is a kind of “dirty bastard”) and so-called three-dimensionality. I worth every penny I spent. Great stuff!

  54. Boris Berlin (verified owner)

    It’s not as intuitive as Britson anymore; maybe I really have to get used to it. Especially not the Bus component, the old coloration choices are more hidden now (one has to tilt the old head to read them). The sound is really good though, so very happy in that regard, and the additional features are generally great and welcome.

  55. giorgi b. (verified owner)

    I have only done one session and I am still experimenting. But, I still managed to discover the life and lift that the N-Console adds. I appreciate that this is not a saturator distorting and crushing my mix. The N-Console like the Britson puts me behind the board again at the beginning of my mix.

  56. Sebastian G. (verified owner)

    I’ve upgraded from Britson. It sounds fantastic. What you’re getting is essentially 3 processors – a stereo/modulation tool, saturation, and dynamics and you’re able to select what you want active. Often I’ll turn off the saturation and just lean into the compression that’s offered (try gain compensation turned on).

    Using the plugin as it’s intended to be used it quickly create’s a ‘classy’ sounding mix. Whether you’re looking for the Neve sound or not I’d boldly guarantee your mixes will sound better using this plugin than not using it!

    Happy customer. Thanks Sonimus.

  57. thierry ecuvillon (verified owner)

    very clean and natural.
    n console brings thickness with elegance. I use it with pleasure at the moment on my classical piano and it’s very natural 👍

  58. LOUISIN D. (verified owner)

    Hello to the team!
    I have been working with n console for a short time, whether in PC screen or touchscreen the ergonomics is just perfect!!
    In terms of the sound, the different colours, which we can have, it’s wonderful to be efficient.
    I work mainly in the box and I can now tell you that my template totally oriented neve with Reaper took a boost!!
    I intend to do the same with API console emulation!!
    you are at the top , from Paris with love (Louisin.D from produce in the box fr)

  59. João G. (verified owner)

    A very nice upgrade to the good old Britson.
    I hope that in future updates, Sonimus can sort out a way to automate the group faders when in Master Grouping mode.

  60. Henry Hirzel (verified owner)

    The shiznit! I love this f*cking color. Will be using this all the time.

  61. Chrisovalantis Stravalexis (verified owner)

    Does what I was expecting it to do. Looks great, sounds great, workflows great. I will soon implement N-Console in my mixing template! Good work!

  62. Mariano I. (verified owner)

    One of the best Neve console emulation. Great sounds ad very easy to use. Useful for a properly gain staging.

  63. Mike Hollingsworth (verified owner)

    Britson was a mainstay on my productions and now with N-Console’s visual and UI update…Still sounds great and feels great to use!

  64. Robert J. (verified owner)

    Good sound and easy to manipulate.When “grouping Master” it is great to tune all Bus or/and channels, but (i did not find) just pitty that I may not automate the faders. By choosing this product, You will get a great console for low cost ^^

    Absolutely wonderful, warm, very real analog plugin!!!!

  67. Marian Chisholm (verified owner)

    I was one day late to receive the special early bird bargain but still don’t regret one iota paying a little bit extra for this newest beauty. Sonimus tools are worth far more than their regular asking prices and are indispensible in all of my mixes.

  68. Anthony (verified owner)

    The N-Console and the A-Console is just what I’ve been looking for they are brilliant! I combine these consoles with different types of Pre’s, EQ, and Channel Strips etc. The variation of analog sound I can get is endless. So flexible! I also like the idea that they have zero latency and the over sampling. Is there if needed. Simple, but yet even more powerful when combined with other creative workflows. The possibilities are endless. They are also very CPU friendly and these plug-in’s just keep getting better with time. I would also like to say I can only imagine the painstakingly thoughtful hard work and programming that went into creating theses Console’s. Keep making great plugins guys! You Rock!

  69. Michael (verified owner)

    I love the new N-Console! This console, as well as the A-Console, are the perfect tools for my setup. I have a wishlist too: it would be great to have an input and output section for the Buss Module!

  74. ZoeMusic (verified owner)

    A really great plugin. Perfect for my works flow. I use the N-Console as well as the A-Console with my SSL UC1 hardware controller and I am very please with the results I’m getting! It’s also the perfect marriage with the SSL channel strips . Just what I needed. Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to what’s next.

  75. MARAT KHOZHAYEV (verified owner)

    Great plugin! It would be ideal if the Buss module had an additional volume control, like on the Channel module!

    Solid plug-in. Very good workflow, low cpu usage, looks gorgeous, and most importantly sounds freaking fantastic!

  77. Robert (verified owner)

    Sounds great!

  78. Tony H. (verified owner)

    I’ve liked almost all the products I’ve downloaded from Sominus, but the lack of oversampling has kept me from using them on all of my mixes. However, this has changed with N-Console. The new design (now with oversampling) sounds crisp and clean – exactly what I was hoping for. The added features (the new 3 modes of the ‘Push’ feature) gives me that fat presence I was looking for in an analog console sund. Nice job Sominus!

  79. Bill F. (verified owner)

    Britson is a great plugin, with fantastic sound and sense of 3D stereo imagery. How its newly evolved sibling N-Console tops it is just mind blowing. It sounds outstanding across the mix. The new interface is aces too! The good folks at Sonimus have delivered in a big way, congrats!

    I’ve been using Sonimus Britson for years. I’ve used it on every song I’ve mixed since buying it. It’s the first thing on all tracks, busses, and master. It does exactly as advertised. The new N-channel update is fantastic. The GUI is gorgeous, wonderful sound, and brings dimension to the mix. Don’t let simplicity of the plugin fool you. It’s been one of the best plugin purchases to date.

  88. Martijnvandongen (verified owner)

    This is really next level stuff of Sonimus! The sound is warm and thick, love the GUI and the extra control features! Well done and thank you for the upgrade price!

  89. Manuel S. (verified owner)

    When it comes to Console Emulation, Sonimus is my first option and with Console N, Sonimus have taken everything to the next level. For me, Console N is the most organic and musical console emulation up to date, in addition, just like Satson – which I’ve been using for years, it doesn’t have that plastic component in the sound like in the case of other emulations from other companies .

    + Burnley is my go to Neve emu…Nice update, easy on CPU, resizeable GUI, oversampling, mix knob, 2 saturations mode, extended bussing levels to 12db, quick supports…

    i hope sonimus will add back -12db calibration, crosstalk mix knob between channel, linear/non linear mode will make this perfect

    Cheers from Bali
    Thank’s sonimus
