Apogee FXRack – July Update, Los Angeles, California, July 19, 2018 – At the 2018 Winter NAMM Show, we previewed our DualPath FX Rack software–Now called Apogee FX Rack, for Ensemble Thunderbolt and Element Series audio interfaces. We’re making great progress on the first 5 plugins for Ensemble and Element Series interfaces but we need a little more time. Although we are closer to a release, we want to ensure the sound quality along with the experience of using our first plugins is amazing.

We did want to give an update on the status of Apogee FX Rack, and a preview of the updated look.
