Softube at PLASA Show

Softube was represented at this year's PLASA show in London by Radu Dobra, one of the few Avid Certified Venue Instructors in the world. Radu was very happy with the turnout for his exclusive Softube demo for the Venue system and noted that there was a lot of interest for Softube!

Legendary live sound veteran Robert Scovill showed up for the event and was impressed by the featured plug-ins - Tube-Tech PE 1C, FET Compressor and Tonelux Tilt Live. Scovill has been in live sound for 30+ years and is the FOH engineer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers among others. He is also Senior Product Manager for Avid Venue.
