This week’s “Friday Freebie” giveaway comes from the folks at MV Pro Audio, who are offering four Music Connection readers the chance to sweeten their tracks with Softube’s most popular and acclaimed signal processing plug-ins: FET Compressor (retail value: $279.99) and the newly released Tube-Tech CL 1B compressor (retail value $429.99). Two native versions (Mac/PC; VST/AU/RTAS) of each model will be given away––a total prize package valued at over $1,400!
When it comes to sound, image, mystique, and just plain cool factor, few pieces of vintage studio gear rival the Tube-Tech CL 1B. Even with its mono operation and $3,500 price tag, this piece has been a staple of high-end recording facilities for over 20 years. Now Softube has delivered the CL 1B as a native format plug-in, and its performance not only rivals, but actually exceeds that of the hardware original.
For the FET Compressor plug-in, great attention was paid to modeling the behavior of complete sections of the original 1176 circuits (quirks and all). Then Softube added continuously variable compression ratios, a 20 microsecond attack time, a look-ahead function, programmable detection circuitry, built-in parallel compression, an external sidechain input, input and gain reduction VU meters, a peak output meter, and a true stereo mode, so you don’t have to worry about phase anomalies when you strap the FET Compressor across your stereo output bus when mastering.
