A complete hardware mixing desk for your DAW, in two pieces. The Softube Console 1 brings the legendary Solid State Logic 4000 E channel strip to your fingertips: four-band EQ, compression, filters, harmonic Drive and Character saturation and a Shape section, all on real knobs that control Softube's acclaimed Console 1 plugin across every track. Add the Console 1 Fader and you get ten touch-sensitive 100mm ALPS motorized faders, transport control, Layer Mode, panning and a stereo spatializer, plus two more console emulations baked in. Together they turn in-the-box mixing into a genuine mixed-on-a-console experience.
