The faders also carry haptic feedback, which Softube describes as automatically communicating critical information back to the hand. + + Ten high-resolution screens sit above the faders and are what separate Mk III from the screenless Fader Mk I. Each shows customizable per-track information: track name, track number, level meters, pan and track colour, so the position in a large session is visible on the unit itself. Param mode reassigns the faders to parameters of the selected track instead of levels, with filters, drive, compression threshold and width among them, and pressing it twice reaches further parameter pages. + + The unit runs in four modes: Console 1, Pro Tools HUI, Generic MCU and Apollo Central. Softube lists direct integration for Cubase and Logic, integrated DAW control for Studio One, Reaper, Ableton Live, LUNA, FL Studio, Harrison Mixbus, Digital Performer, Bitwig, Samplitude and Cakewalk, and six sends with a spill mode, against three sends and VST3-only control on Fader Mk I. Console 1 Core Mixing Suite is included. + + Connectivity is two USB-C ports. One carries data and USB-C Power Delivery from the included supply, which Softube states powers up to two units, and the second chains onward, so up to four Fader Mk III units plus a Channel Mk III run without a hub, replacing the Mk I arrangement where each Fader needed its own PSU. The chassis is an anodized aluminium top with injection-moulded sides and back and integrated connectivity points, and it mounts on a 100 mm M4 VESA pattern underneath or M4 threads on the sides, with an optional rack mount kit and mixing system stand.

Engineered with an ear for music before mathematics, this is a trusty companion for producers, recording engineers, and creative musicians of all kinds. This is a meticulous model of the Chandler Limited hardware, tested in Softube's lab to ensure it performs like the hardware does, for the same excellent sound quality and inspiring vibe. + + The Germanium Compressor's unique character comes from a blend of several innovative approaches. The ratio settings are tuned by ear rather than arithmetic. The dial takes you from less to more rather than fixing on especially precise numerical values. Knee settings are similarly artistic, named as they are after the different combinations of diodes which achieve each color of curve. + + With a FET gain reduction element, the Germanium is capable of fast and heavily-saturating compression. So there's a choice of clean or dirty compression, toggling between modes which compensate to varying degrees for the harmonic excitement naturally brought about by the unit. It's never transparent, but you have a lot of control over Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in this compressor. And every track this thing touches will benefit from the drive and feedback on output, the real secret sauce: a gain circuit which can gently caress a signal as easily as it can sizzle and sear it into submission. + + You also have control over the speed of operation, with attack and release times that can be combined to extremely musical effect. Ease off on the attack and the Germanium Compressor becomes a punchy powerhouse for drums. Slow down the release and creamy, smooth tones can be introduced to vocals or bass.

Clipper has you covered. +details: |- + Clipper is a music producer's ace in the hole for giving finished tracks the final push needed to match loudness expectations in the mixing as well as the mastering process. Softube designed Clipper with this in mind, but true to form, added some extra features to this dual-stage clipper to empower you to go beyond that and make creative decisions about the sound and vibe of the clipping. With the dual clipping stages RMS and Peak, an analog color option, and an optimized soft knee function, Clipper is at once analytical and vibey. + + The function of a clipper is to immediately limit peaks without the effects that come from a limiter or a compressor, like pumping or decreasing level over time. It's useful when you have transients that would otherwise make your limiter act to decrease the overall loudness of your track. Clipper lets you manage those peaks while giving you the option to raise the level of your song. You may also find the sound of Clipper helpful to excite single tracks, such as synths. + + Clipping the peaks of a signal produces an audible sound. If it's overdone, it can sound unpleasant. That's because peak clipping is an analytical function rather than a musical one. To combat that, Softube matched the peak limiting stage in Clipper with an RMS stage you can use to gently shape the material before it goes into the peak clipping stage. + + Great for increasing the apparent loudness when mastering, the RMS stage is transparent in lesser amounts and, when pushed hard, breaks into a thick distortion. It gives you the power to go beyond the mathematical and make creative choices about the tonality of your clipping. Clipper accomplishes this by using anti-aliasing techniques to minimize artifacts, such as multiple stages of 4x oversampling. The Peak stage shaves the transients off the remaining audio. You can think of it like a limiter with infinitely fast attack and release. When used gently in the mastering process, the Peak stage gives a more cohesive sound. + + Want to change the tonality of an 808 or a drum bus? You're gonna wanna grab the Analog Color controls for that (plus, tweak the Headroom and set the Low and High Frequencies to home in on a specific frequency area you want to distort).

Enter Limit Pro. + + Limit Pro delivers maximum loudness and ultimate transparency by giving you extensive control over peak suppression, metering, and precise and flexible limiting for mastering, mixing, and single tracks. The three peak suppression methods, with frequency-adaptive control of release times, are fit for a variety of genres and music styles. The Low Frequency Protection algorithm keeps the bass intact, and Limit Pro also offers a Gain Match feature, delta monitoring, and gives you a good overview of the metering needed, such as true peak, peak, LUFS, loudness loss, distortion metering for desired transparency, and a real-time peak suppression view. All with low latency, low CPU usage, and the included Limit Go plug-in. + + No single peak suppression approach works for all types of music. Most limiters use only a single peak suppression method, and while that method may sound great for dense and bright mixes, for example, it will sound heavily distorted on a dynamic rock track. That's why Softube designed Limit Pro with three different peak suppression methods, Standard, Adaptive, and Fast, that each excels in different circumstances. Fast is almost like clipping, without actually clipping the signal. Adaptive strives to be as fast as possible but can slow down to prevent low-frequency distortion. Standard is predictive, reliable, a workhorse that gets the job done although you might not get that extra dB of loudness. + + Limit Pro goes a step beyond a standard limiter with different release control flavors and frequency-adaptive control of release times. Transient Release is what you would typically see on most limiters and is nearly an extension of peak suppression. But Limit Pro also features Adaptive Release. This setting releases faster for transients than for sustained material and allows you to use longer release times without the limiter punishing the mix. Frequency-adaptive control of release times gives different release times to different frequencies without affecting the tonality or frequency spectrum of the audio, reducing the low-frequency distortion coming from the limiter. + + A fast, loud limiter isn't typically the best at handling low frequencies, and different limiters handle low frequencies in different ways, often with long look-aheads that lead to a lot of latency. Low Frequency Protection assumes control over the limiting for sub-bass frequencies to avoid distortion when, for example, the 808 kicks in. Limit Pro also offers several types of metering and visualizations, including the Distogram, which visualizes how the distortion sounds: a peak at the top of the graph means the harmonics created by the distortion are located at a much higher frequency than the incoming audio, typically perceived as bright or fizzy, while a peak at the bottom means the harmonics are close to the incoming audio, which can be perceived as natural or growly. +specs: |- + - Maximum loudness with ultimate transparency + - Two plug-ins for both extensive control and super-fast adjustments + - For mastering and mixing, as well as single tracks + - Three unique peak suppression methods (Standard, Adaptive, Fast) + - Frequency-adaptive control of release times + - Low frequency protection mode + - True Peak limiting + - Transparent oversampling using linear phase filters + - Gain Match, Delta monitoring, and more + - Low latency and low CPU usage + - Console 1 and Flow Studio Ready + - Two plug-ins included: Limit Pro and Limit Go + - Included with Flow Mastering and Complete Suite subscriptions + - Distortion metering and Distogram visualization, Loudness Loss meter, real-time peak suppression view, true peak, peak and LUFS metering + - Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz (mono/stereo) + - Requires a Softube account and an iLok account (no physical iLok required) + - Three activations per license, 20-day trial +links: + - url: https://www.softube.com/user-manuals/limit-pro + type: resource + title: Limit Pro user manual + - url: https://www.softube.com/user-manuals/limit-go + type: resource + title: Limit Go user manual + - url: https://www.softube.com/support/system-requirements + type: support + title: System Requirements +videos: + - provider: youtube + videoId: iKDSZPbeiSs + title: Walkthrough diff --git a/data/software/softube-lion-head-vibrato.yaml b/data/software/softube-lion-head-vibrato.yaml new file mode 100644 index 000000000..51ad3514f --- /dev/null +++ b/data/software/softube-lion-head-vibrato.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +id: 9RrEjgO2E3-xZy5XY41Xz +name: Lion Head Vibrato +manufacturer: softube +primaryCategory: vibrato +categories: + - plugin + - effect + - modulation + - vintage +formats: + - au + - vst + - vst3 + - aax +platforms: + - mac + - windows +url: https://www.softube.com/plug-ins/lion-head-vibrato +prices: + - amount: 19 + currency: EUR +description: A vibrato that can both bring back old memories, and create new ones. +specs: |- + - Lush modulation, from subtle to swirling + - Captures the feel of classic analog vibrato circuits + - Use in Flow Mixing Suite, Amp Room, or as a standalone plug-in + - Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz, mono and stereo + - Requires a Softube account and an iLok account (no physical iLok required) + - Installed and managed with Softube Central diff --git a/data/software/softube-marshall-bluesbreaker-1962.yaml b/data/software/softube-marshall-bluesbreaker-1962.yaml index 8f798f032..a3388f970 100644 --- a/data/software/softube-marshall-bluesbreaker-1962.yaml +++ b/data/software/softube-marshall-bluesbreaker-1962.yaml @@ -16,9 +16,36 @@ platforms: - windows url: https://www.softube.com/us/plug-ins/guitar-bass/marshall-bluesbreaker-1962 prices: - - amount: 99.00 + - amount: 99 currency: USD -description: >- - A careful emulation of the iconic Marshall Bluesbreaker Model 1962 combo, a - true blues and rock & roll legend and one of the rarest and most expensive - amps there is. + - amount: 99 + currency: EUR +description: Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962 is an amp sim plugin that emulates one + of the rarest and most expensive amps in existence.

This luxe studio hardware was modeled and remodeled from the ground up with Softube's component modeling and signal processing tech, and both versions of the comp are combined in a single interface. + + Opto compressors tend to grab hold quickly but then take a while to fully reset, with a strongly exponential release curve.

Stunning high-resolution graphics and additional features were also added to make the best even better. + + Try, for example, the famous 'Pultec' low-end trick. Because the filters for the low frequency boost and attenuate functions are slightly offset in frequency (despite being controlled by the same frequency knob) it is possible to create attractive and well-focused bumps or cuts in the low end by boosting and attenuating simultaneously. Give a kick drum more body, for example, by boosting heavily at 60 CPS and then attenuating to deal with the muddiness.

Despite having so many guiding principles in common, it wasn't until 2015 that the two companies got serious about working together. +specs: |- + - A line-by-line code port of the original Weiss EQ1, the standard-bearer of digital mastering EQs and a must-have for mastering houses worldwide + - A surgical Minimum Phase EQ, a true Linear Phase EQ, and a Dynamic EQ, all in one + - Threshold, Attack, Release and Ratio parameters available on individual bands in Dynamic Advanced Mode + - All seven bands available in Dynamic Mode + - Workflow and ergonomic advancements with four adaptable user interfaces + - Created in collaboration with, and endorsed by, Weiss Engineering + - Two plug-ins included: Weiss EQ1 and Weiss EQ MP + - Increased functionality of the original algorithms, plus 32-bit / 192 kHz operation and updated ergonomics + - Easy manual recall of Presets that sound and behave exactly like they do in the hardware + - Console 1 Ready: this plug-in can be used within Console 1, Softube's mixing system + - Supports Softube Extended Features + - System requirements: macOS Sonoma 14, Sequoia 15, Tahoe 26; Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11 + - Requires a Softube account and an iLok account (no physical iLok required) + - Requires a computer with AU, VST, VST3 and/or AAX compatible DAW host software + - Requires internet access for downloading installers and managing licenses + - Three activations included +videos: + - videoId: iTo_cXmaiVo + provider: youtube + - videoId: so6EoxDfXAA + provider: youtube + title: Precise Control of Transparency With Weiss EQ1 diff --git a/data/software/softube-weiss-exciter.yaml b/data/software/softube-weiss-exciter.yaml index 80d456191..04a0d6836 100644 --- a/data/software/softube-weiss-exciter.yaml +++ b/data/software/softube-weiss-exciter.yaml @@ -15,8 +15,47 @@ platforms: - windows url: https://www.softube.com/us/plug-ins/mixing/weiss-exciter prices: - - amount: 199.00 + - amount: 199 currency: USD -description: >- - The world's first transparent mastering exciter that adds harmonic content - naturally without overcooked distortion, preserving mix integrity. + - amount: 199 + currency: EUR +description: "Weiss Exciter plugin, the world's first transparent mastering + exciter, does what no other exciter plug-in can: it adds harmonic content so + naturally it feels like part of the original sound.

Weiss Exciter does what no other exciter plug-in can: it adds harmonic content so naturally it feels like part of the original sound. With no overcooked distortion or exaggerated EQ in sight. The result is the subtle, transparent enhancement of vibrancy and crispness, plus the preservation of the mix's integrity. The harmonics sound so organic, it's like they were always there. Making this the exciter you'll always reach for. + + Traditional exciters typically add a lot of "normal" EQ-ing with just a smidge of distortion. The overall effect is essentially that of an equalizer, which is very transparent. On the other hand, if you overdo the distortion with a traditional exciter, you often end up with too much audible distortion that doesn't sound very nice. So, with a traditional exciter, you often have either a lot of EQ-ing or too much distortion. But with Weiss Exciter, you get sonically pleasing harmonics with minimal EQ effect. + + Several features make Weiss Exciter truly transparent and help to battle the traditional issue of excess EQ-ing or too much distortion. Adaptive non-linearity ensures the harmonics are relevant and consistent regardless of the signal level. The Mastering switch reduces the amount of the fundamental frequency in the distortion, thereby reducing the EQ effect. You can also use precise pre- and post-filtering to target specific areas of your mix. Four mathematically designed Harmonics Modes ensure an elegant sound with enough harmonics to create the exciter effect, and the filters are phase-compensated to avoid phase-cancellation effects between the added harmonics and the original audio. + + Weiss Exciter uses a parallel signal path with a completely unaffected "dry" path, so the integrity of the original audio is preserved without unwanted side effects. It is distortion without coloration, without "box tone." It can also operate in linear phase mode, with no phase shift throughout the algorithm, for pristine audio. In minimum phase mode, all internal audio paths are phase compensated so that the blend between dry and wet happens without phase warping or cancellations. + + Despite its advanced processing, Weiss Exciter offers straightforward operation. The Frequency visualization lets you define a focus band for excitation and an output band for where the harmonics are added. You also control the four harmonic modes, stereo width, filter types, and the unique Mastering switch. Professional mastering engineers will appreciate the expert panel where you can get deeper control over harmonic shaping for precision and transparency at the highest level. +specs: |- + - The world's first transparent mastering exciter + - Console 1-ready + - Professional mastering engineer options + - Four Harmonic Modes (Soft, Hard, Poly 3, Poly 5) + - Independent Target and Output bands + - Linear Phase mode + - Adaptive non-linearities + - Mastering mode to reduce fundamental frequencies + - Phase-compensated filters to avoid phase cancellation between harmonics and original audio + - Additive parallel processing with an unaffected dry path + - Supports Softube Extended Features panels + - Included in Flow Mastering Suite and as a standalone perpetual plug-in + - 20-day trial, three activations, tech support + - Requires a Softube account and an iLok account (no physical iLok required) + - macOS Sonoma 14, Sequoia 15, Tahoe 26 + - Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11 + - Internet access required for downloading installers and managing licenses +videos: + - videoId: YIjv0TNCMqQ + provider: youtube + title: Weiss Exciter + - videoId: FNR2mixLKHs + provider: youtube + title: Walkthrough diff --git a/data/software/softube-weiss-gambit-series-for-console-1.yaml b/data/software/softube-weiss-gambit-series-for-console-1.yaml index 58a184088..43b7344f7 100644 --- a/data/software/softube-weiss-gambit-series-for-console-1.yaml +++ b/data/software/softube-weiss-gambit-series-for-console-1.yaml @@ -16,9 +16,32 @@ platforms: - windows url: https://www.softube.com/us/plug-ins/mixing/weiss-gambit-series-for-console-1 prices: - - amount: 299.00 + - amount: 299 currency: USD -description: >- - A channel strip based on 1:1 code ports of the original Weiss DS1-MK3 and EQ1 - units, created in partnership with Weiss Engineering for the Console 1 mixing - ecosystem. + - amount: 299 + currency: EUR +description: A sharp and clean channel strip plugin based on 1:1 code ports of + the original Weiss DS1-MK3 and EQ1 units, to be used in Console 1.

Widener is the way. Widener gives you five + unique algorithms to best suit your needs as a music producer or mastering + engineer. +details: |- + Widener lets you create a stereo signal from a mono track or widen an existing stereo track with five unique widening algorithms. But why use a spatial widener anyway? Opinions may vary on the risks of using spatial wideners, but the dirty little secret is this: many producers, and even mastering engineers, use them as an easy, effective way to make their track stand out. Caution must be used, of course, to avoid ruining your sound with unwanted artifacts. If you do, you have an amazingly effective tool to produce an immersive listening experience. + + Widener is effective on both mono and stereo sources. Turn mono into stereo to make your sound cut through the mix. Or use it to expand your mix as an alternative to other effects that might clutter the sound, like reverb or delay. Do this with the certainty that your sound will stay mono-compatible when using the Frequency Spread or Classic algorithm. In stereo, you can carefully widen the sound to enhance the three-dimensional space of your mix and create a sense of depth or you can make it narrower to bring focus to the mix. Widener doesn't only widen a mix, its crossfeed algorithms can also be used to create a more natural and cohesive sound image during the mastering phase. + + Each mix is distinctive and comes with diverse challenges and necessities. Using stereo width to enhance your mix might produce artifacts you'll want to consider. That's why Softube included no less than five different algorithms: Classic, Frequency Spread, Rotation, Ambience, and Reflections. Each algorithm has a unique strength, which allows you to find the sweet spot for your stereo image and minimize those unwanted artifacts. + + In short, the different algorithms use phase shifting, Mid/Side processing, or reverberation techniques to accomplish their sound. The goniometer and correlation meter provide real-time information about the stereo width and allow you to avoid pitfalls by confirming what you hear. Which empowers you to make the right choices for your mix. + + Tip! Want to learn to identify the artifacts from, for example, the Classic algorithm? Listen to solely the left or right channel and slowly move the Size parameter. By listening to only one channel, your ears aren't so easily fooled by the stereo-izing trickery. Moving the Size parameter shifts the comb filters around, letting your ears home in on them. +specs: |- + - Easy to use widening + - Make mono tracks stereo and stereo tracks wider or narrower + - Use on mono or stereo sources + - Five different algorithms with different strengths: Classic, Frequency Spread, Rotation, Ambience, and Reflections + - Algorithms use phase shifting, Mid/Side processing, or reverberation techniques + - Mono-compatible when using the Frequency Spread or Classic algorithm + - Crossfeed algorithms for a more natural and cohesive sound image during mastering + - Goniometer and correlation meter as visual aids + - Console 1-ready, compatible with all generations of the Console 1 Mixing System + - Supports Softube Extended Features panels + - System requirements: macOS Sonoma 14, Sequoia 15, Tahoe 26 + - System requirements: Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11 + - Requires a Softube account and an iLok account (no physical iLok required) + - Requires a computer with AU, VST, VST3 and/or AAX compatible DAW host software + - Requires internet access (for downloading installers and managing licenses) + - Three activations + - 20-day trial + - 14-day returns +videos: + - videoId: 83xG8Xq4V4I + provider: youtube + - videoId: SVwEu5SJ61g + provider: youtube + title: Walkthrough
