cclarry 13,544 Posted February 23 Softube + Empirical Labs, an epic collaboration We’d like to announce that we have a new partnership with Empirical Labs, and we’re kicking it off with four new products: Mike-E Comp, Lil FrEQ, Trak Pak for Console 1, and Empirical Labs Complete Collection. ELI and founder Dave Derr are well known for creating audio processing hardware that sounds amazing, and now we’ve created analog component modeling-based plug-in versions in close collaboration with Dave Derr himself. Both Softube and ELI take pride in the high standard of quality and craftsmanship in their work, and our philosophies are so similar that it’s surprising we didn’t do this sooner. Check out the results of this match made in sonic heaven. You won’t be disappointed. Special intro offer Empirical Labs Mike-E Comp, Lil FrEQ, Trak Pak for Console 1, and Empirical Labs Complete Collection are available now, and with this voucher, you can get any of them for 30% off the regular price.

Bapu 2,629 Posted February 23 Nice. But I'll wait for an unlocked sale on the complete collection which could be cheaper than the Console 1 version's price today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll probably be waiting with Bapu. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy Byrnes 65 Posted February 23 If you're on the UAD platform I highly recommend their ELI Fatso collection. It has the Jr version, which is like the hardware, and the Sr version, which "offers a “Tranny” saturation control, Sidechain Filtering and deeper compression parameters including Threshold, Attack and Release. These special FATSO Sr. mods are only available with the UAD Powered Plug-In version." I use it all the time. It's a great saturator, just don't engage the compressor. The comp is wicked versatile, it can be subtle on the "Bus" setting or it will smack the crap out of something on the more aggressive settings. I got it during last year's holiday sale and it finds its way into every project. If you get it during a sale, it's around $150, comparable to the Softube, but no CPU hit. It's very easy on the SHARKs as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruno de Souza Lino 290 Posted February 23 I would steer away from anything Console 1. Softube failed their end of the bargain with this UAD competitor and they're just trying to milk as much of it before it's suddenly discontinued for no apparent reason.

Don’t know where you’re getting this. Console 1 is at it’s second version, it’s out for many years and new products are released for it. I’m using it and it’s excellent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

backwoods 56 Posted February 24 can anyone who has these/tried these comment on cpu usage? i have big freq and arouser and they are great but would be nice to have the softube polish as opposed to the somewhat janky ELI execution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zargg 193 Posted February 24 I ended up getting this. Still awaiting the sn. I liked the demo, and it will fit nicely in my Console 1 collection. Always nice to have options, and I'm using C1 for 80+% of my mixing (besides time based fx etc). Will report back on CPU usage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
