The Tube-Tech CL 1B is a cutting edge classic for an awfully great reason. As a vocal compressor in specific, its blend of characteristic warm moderate opto pick up lessening and shockingly flexible can’t-sound-bad operation have made it a staple over a more extensive assortment of sorts than maybe any other optical compressor. Classic shake, cutting-edge pop, rap and hip jump, EDM… you title it. This Mk II adaptation benefits from a total ground-up sonic re-model, using another decade’s worth of encounter, innovation, and know-how. It sounds way better than ever. And it looks new as well, with cutting edge high-res illustrations.
Not to specify the feature update, including side-chain moo cut channels and parallel mixing. Your modern top choice compressor? It might just be. As long back as 2006, Softube shaped a partnership with Tube-Tech of Lydkraft, Denmark, and started work on what would end up the conclusive plug-in representations of Tube-Tech’s best and most highly-prized analogue equipment units. In 2018 Softube discharged the upgraded Mk II adaptations; a add up to ground-up rebuild of the CL 1B compressor, and a single combined EQ plug-in, taking advantage of our most recent flag preparing innovation. Softube too included dazzling high-resolution design and extra highlights to form the leading indeed way better.
After you begin to utilize the CL 1B, you’ll be in control of a really extraordinary unit indeed – the inclination of an opto compressor is to seize hold reasonably rapidly but at that point take a whereas to completely reset, with an emphatically exponential discharge bend. This implies the drifters are managed within a straightforward way, but the larger body of the fabric benefits from a delicate and melodic levelling as the ultimate ten or twenty per cent of the pickup decrease waits sometime recently the following transient. It’s a sound each blend build ought to have on lock-down for bass, acoustic guitars, vocals and much more.
