Softube Tape, FET Compressor Mk II, and Bus Processor in versatile preamp, shape, equalization, and compression sections, and an innovative drive befitting Softube’s stellar saturation reputation. It's Softube's take on the perfect channel strip, but users will appreciate the ability to draw on Softube's one-of-a-kind catalog to design their unique dream console.
The feel of big studios
Softube engineers ensured that every rotation of Console 1 Channel’s Analog Feel™ potentiometers delivers a sensation that rivals the priciest outboard gear. The weighty, resistant turn of these knobs underscores the immersive mixing experience of Channel. With an increase of more than ten times the resolution over the earlier generation, Console 1 Channel is the future-proofed foundation of the modern mixing workflow.
Mix without a mouse
Let go of the mouse—and the other pain points associated with computer-based mixing. Console 1 Channel's knob-per-function design allows users to let their ears dictate the sound of their mix. Dual high-resolution smart screens and an industry-defining 1:1 workflow mean users always understand the adjustments they are making and where to find the most important parameters. With the increase in efficiency that Channel delivers, users can put the focus back on the creative process.
it can now control FabFilter and Universal Audio UADx (native) plug-ins!
This free update allows users to load and control FabFilter and UADx plug-ins with the analog feel of Console 1 without the need for mapping. To make for the smoothest experience possible, Softube have ensured that controls exist where they best fit the workflow. The Equalizer section always has the Gain, Q, and Frequency in the same place. The Compression section always has ratio, threshold, attack, release, and parallel (wet/dry) in the same place. For users, this all adds up to a faster, easier workflow that lets them focus on using their ears - no matter which plug-ins they choose.
With this update, Softube has also added two new processing options for the Tape/Preamp Section of Core Mixing Suite, giving users the sound of running through the inputs of analog consoles and tape machines for any DAW. With the new Core Modern and Core Vintage preamps, users can saturate their audio before the Filters, Shape, EQ, Compression, and Drive sections.
- Core Modern Preamp offers tone shaping with a gentle presence lift and subtle saturation to emphasize the high mids.
- Core Vintage Preamp features a rounder tone with a little gentle compression and harmonic saturation as it’s driven.
