Get a New Chance to Demo, Tony Shepperd Interview, Updated Installers, etc.

Since our number one support request is to extend expired demo times, the time limit of Softube's demo licenses has now been increased to 20 days. Also, everyone that requested a demo prior to this change can now download a new 20-day demo license. So if you already downloaded a 10 day demo with the old system, don't despair!

Digging the CL 1B with Tony Shepperd

Tony Shepperd is a major player in today's music scene. He has worked with some of the great artists that will definitely join the history books, such as Whitney Houston, Faith Hill, and Lionel Richie. Right now Tony himself loves a little CL 1B flavor. We sat down and talked to him about that and a couple of other things. Read the entire interview

More CL 1B

Tony is not the only one digging the CL 1B, the response from the user base has been great. If you haven't tried it yet, make sure you listen to some samples and watch the videos, or just go ahead and download the demo right away. If you're unsure how to get started, simply adjust the threshold and add some make up gain, more often than not it will sound good just doing that. Consider that Tube-Tech Tip #1. Speaking of videos, you didn't miss our YouTube channel, did ya? Considering the great success of the Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in, it is natural for us to look for other brands to cooperate with. After AES, we are happy to report that the next such product will see the light of day early next year.

Softube at AES

Softube of course attended this year's AES in New York. We didn't have a booth but we did have a blast. We met up with Tony Shepperd, Malcolm Toft, and many others. Also, thanks to all the guests who showed up at the wine tasting party we hosted together with Flux::!

Here are some photos from the show:

...and more are available here.

Demo at 4Sound Stockholm

One could almost think we're on a tour! Following AES and the immense jet lag from going back to good old Linköping, Sweden, we headed to Stockholm for a demo at 4Sound Stockholm (Estrad). Torsten doing the demo, shaky iPhone photos by Oscar (thanks for the strong coffee, guys!).

Latest Reviews and User Comments

"The CL 1B is a true compressor for all seasons. I found it perfect for any individual track from bass to vocals to drums because it is precisely adjustable and able operate perfectly for any kind of dynamic control from transparent and subtle to more typical compression chores with 2 to 6dB of peak compression and then all the way to major audio clamping with a striking, and colorful character. It's a big winner for me and is a major player in all my mixes from now on!"

"This EQ is the missing link! I love it. It is simple, easy to use and in the 'passive' position it creates a richness like nothing else. Absolutely wicked!"
