About API

In 1969, Automated Processes Incorporated was formed by engineers and musicians who shared a common vision: to create the highest possible quality professional audio gear, and then back it up with excellent customer service. Over five decades later, that vision is stronger than ever and remains an integral part of API’s extraordinary success. We’re grateful for the inspired genius of API Founder Saul Walker, and we’re grateful for an ever-expanding number of users that recognize the unique value of API.

Today API is both pleased and gratified to continue to play a major role in the recording and production of music.
