Softube Releases Console 1 Compact

Softube says that their Console 1 control surface redefined mixing in the DAW and became an essential tool for some of the most revered professionals in the world and that, now, the revolution continues with the all-new Console 1 Compact. This is what they have to say about it...

Console 1 Compact's layered one-to-one workflow delivers the ability to sculpt the best mix with control over input, preamps, tape, filters, shape, EQ, compression, and output drive. Compact can be customized with high-quality Softube plug-ins, channel strips, and hardware, as well as plug-ins from makers like FabFilter, UAD, Plugin Alliance, and more. And Compact works with all major DAWs – from Logic Pro and Cubase to Ableton Live and Pro Tools – just to name a few. 

A dream console for all
Console 1 Compact offers the elements Console 1 Channel Mk III is prized for – the sound and feel of big studios – in an exceptionally desk-friendly design. Ultra-portable and affordable, Compact makes the hands-on control of Console 1 accessible for every engineer who doesn't want to compromise sound quality or workflow with a generic controller. Not to mention the renowned modeled sound of Chandler Limited, Solid State Logic, Tube-Tech, and more. 
 
Console 1 Compact is the perfect travel companion for Console 1 Channel Mk III users, the perfect upgrade for Console 1 Mk II users, the perfect way for Flow Studio users to tighten up the final details of a mix, and the perfect way for Flow Suite subscribers to take advantage of their channels strips and take control of their plug-ins in a truly hands-on way. 

World-class console sound
Console 1 Compact's authentic big studio sound comes from Softube's well-known knack for exquisitely modeling big studio gear. Compact also comes equipped with the award-winning sounds of Softube Tape, FET Compressor Mk II, and Bus Processor in the Core Mixing Suite software, which includes versatile preamp, shape, equalization, and compression sections, plus an innovative drive befitting Softube's reputation for epic saturation. Not to mention the ability to craft custom channel strips with Softube plug-ins and plug-ins from FabFilter, Universal Audio, Plugin Alliance, and others. 

World-class console feel
Delivering the immersive mixing experience of Console 1, every rotation of Compact's Analog Feel™ potentiometers delivers the feeling of expensive outboard gear. Compact's knobs feel analog because they are. Encased in the anodized aluminium panel are a plethora of RGB LEDs that change according to the user's movements between layers and their mixing choices, providing feedback that is as illuminating as it is inspiring. Building the dream console is simple because the modular Console 1 Compact can be expanded not only with great software but also Console 1 Fader units and Flow® Studio hardware.
