Softube are offering the VCA Compressor as a FREE download for a limited time, (usually $149.00). The offer ends March 31st.
Quirky and characterful, the legendary hardware Softube used to model their VCA Compressor is unique and highly acclaimed. Much of that is owed to its famed hard knee compression curve and the harmonic content it adds in the gain stages.
Softube left the grabby, vintage character and the unique attributes—such as RMS level detection and feed-forward gain reduction—intact but gave VCA Compressor a slate of modern features for mixing and production. The combination delivers snap and sheen in spades, plus superior Softube sound quality and an enhanced workflow.
VCA Compressor delivers the snappy, analog character beloved by many, plus DAW-friendly attributes and expanded parameters. The added Side-chain section (with punch, filter, and external gain), Dry/Wet, and Drive give you the possibility to add more harmonic content. With Stereo Link, 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.
The High Frequency Make-up feature allows you to offset the minor loss of higher frequencies when compressing sound sources. It’s the go-to comp for a snappier snare sound, but it is also excellent for adding texture, sheen, and attack to guitars, as well as low-end glue and weight on bass sounds.
Features include:
- An authentic emulation of a must-have 70’s compressor and its signature snappy sound
- Great for easily adding warmth, weight, and glue to your bass, guitars, and vocals, for getting aggressive, snappy snares or blown-up room channels
- Added modern features, such as Drive, a Sidechain section, Stereo Link, a High Frequency Make-up feature, and Dry/Wet
- Console 1-ready
- Included in Icons: The Compressor Collection
VCA Compressor is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX).
