Plugin Boutique are offering 72% off OPTO Compressor by Softube for a limited time, now only £35.00 / $44.33, (usually £128.06 / $162.20). There are deals on other Softube plugins too. The offers end January 31st.
The hardware Softube modeled OPTO Compressor on is lauded as the most classic compressor. It’s well-known for its nuanced tube character and how it delicately enhances the fainter parts of a performance in a natural-sounding way. While the warm and smooth tones remain, OPTO Compressor offers some crucial, new DAW-friendly features.
Their OPTO Compressor plug-in ensures that you get the legendary magic of the early-60s T4 Opto Cell original, plus the added control and flexibility of a modern mixing and production workflow. All with Softube-quality sound.
Softube have been emulating professional audio gear for two decades. With partnerships with premium brands like Tube-Tech, Solid State Logic, Chandler Limited, and Marshall Amplification, they have a strong record of accurately recreating analog standards in software form.
OPTO Compressor builds on this legacy, delivering nothing less than the same classic character as the original hardware, superior sound quality, and added modern features.
OPTO Compressor offers the slow attack and smooth character of pro audio’s go-to optical tube compressor, plus added modern features for a DAW-based workflow. Dry/Wet and a Sidechain section deliver more control and improved versatility for mixing and mastering. Drive allows you to decide the amount of distortion and character of the original unit separately from the gain reduction, making OPTO Compressor more useful in a mixing situation than the original hardware. The High Frequency Make-up feature allows you to compensate for the minor loss of higher frequencies when compressing sound sources. With the Stereo Link switch, you can toggle from Stereo Linked mode, with linked Left and Right gain reduction, to Unlinked Dual Mono for independent gain reduction for Left and Right channels. OPTO Compressor is perfect for vocals, guitar, and bass or as a second gain reduction stage after the FET Compressor Mk II on a vocal track.
In short:
- An expert emulation of the most classic analog compressor in the world
- Renowned for its warmth, smoothness, and ability to add character to the sound
- Added modern features, such as Drive, Stereo Link, a Sidechain section, the High Frequency Make-up feature, and Dry/Wet
- Authentically modeled subtle tube distortion character
OPTO Compressor is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX) and requires an iLok account.
