Make Believe Studios – MBSI v4.0.13

MBSI is a loving and faithful recreation of one of the most successful custom consoles ever built in the United States.

Custom built by MCI technicians for Studio C at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida, this console was used to create dozens of million-selling hit records.

Artists such as the Eagles, Eric Clapton, the Bee Gees and Grand Funk Railroad chose this room and this console to work with the world’s top producers, including Tom Dowd and the legendary Bill Szymczyk. We’ve teamed up with Make Believe and Bill Szymczyk to bring this legendary console to your DAW for the first time. Enjoy the sound of Miami 1976 now.
