Product Description
ALSO RECOMMENDED
Tube-Tech CL 1B is a true studio classic, heard on tons and tons of
records for the past 20 years. Like its hardware counterpart, the Softube Tube-Tech CL 1B native plug-in
sounds soft, smooth, groovy and can compress an insane amount of dB's
without sounding bad.
The CL 1B plug-ins by Softube are the only Tube-Tech plug-ins that are
fully endorsed by Tube-Tech.
This version requires no DSP hardware but uses the same outstanding
modeling technology and algorithms as the famous Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in
for TDM and PowerCore (distributed by TC Electronic). The sound is of
course just as fantastic as its predecessor. With this unprecedented
accuracy, down to details such as the precise VU meter behaviour, the
Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in is definitely in a league of its own.
In Short
Classic Tube-Tech sound in your computer
Created together with the designers at Lydkraft/Tube-Tech
Each and every component carefully modeled
Fix./man. mode for breaking traditional compression boundaries
External sidechain control
A seriously great looking GUI!
Very CPU friendly
Compression controls
Gain: Up to +30 dB of make-up gain
Ratio: Continuous ratio control from 2:1 to 10:1
Threshold: Continuous threshold control from +20 dB to -40 dB
Attack: From 0.5 to 300 milliseconds
Release: From 0.05 to 10 seconds
Attack/release select
The Tube-Tech CL 1B features a unique attack/release switch. The switch
has three different positions:
Fixed: In the fixed mode, the attack time is set to 1 millisecond
and the release is set to 50 milliseconds
Manual: In the manual mode, the attack and release controls work
as normal
Fix./man: In the fix./man. mode, the release control works as in
manual mode. The attack, however, is fixed to a fast attack and the
attack knob turns into a delay for the release time.
Sidechain bus select
Setting the Sidechain bus select to 'external' lets you - you guessed
it! - use an external sidechain.
Meter options
At your disposal is an old school VU meter capable of showing three
different things.
Input: The VU meter shows the input level
Compression: The VU meter shows the amount of gain reduction
Output: The VU meter shows the output level
"A truly faithful and very exact replica of the hardware CL1B. Finally it's possible to experience natural musical compression in a plug-in" John G. Petersen

User Testimonials
"There are barely words to describe what I think about the CL1B plugin. The sonics are outstanding. The GUI is awesome. I thought it was just a picture until I started turning the knobs. I own hundreds and hundreds of plugins but... the CL1B plugin is the most accurate representation of a hardware that I have EVER seen." Tony Shepperd
