The Pro Channel IS a console emulator. So they are going to put a console emulator inside a console emulator?
I look at the PC as a "console strip" for whatever that's worth. For example, the Quad Curve EQ is meant to emulate multiple classic console EQ, while the Comps are based on Urie and SSL (one of which is a console). And then there's Saturation... Great, now I've talked myself into being a little more confused than I was.
I guess I still see a difference between the two, but I would also like to know more about how this new Console Emulation is meant to complement the existing modules. Hmmm... The Steven Slate and Waves plugs were mentioned - how would one use those along side EQs and Comps?
