Why? Because even when used subtly, analog tape has a smoothing effect and adds cohesion and weight to a mix-it takes the recording from a collection of individual tracks into a song where everything is connected and works together.
It includes three distinctly different tape machine types, and it offers the ease of use and low CPU strain that today’s music creators rightfully expect.Įven in this day and age, it's common practice for computer based professional studios to run their mixes through at least one generation of analog tape. But Tape goes far beyond your average tape machine emulation. That said, in S1, Cubase or any other DAW that works fully with this thing, it's a much smoother experience, and I would definitely recommend it to those users.It's time to get reel! Softube’s Tape plug-in adds cohesion and weight to your mixes. If you typically create smaller projects you might be fine but it'll still be a chore. The lack of scribble strips would be okay if it could synchronise track selection with every DAW, but without them it means you're not only having to select a track twice for mixing purposes but also get thoroughly lost in the sea of faders and occasionally make tweaks on the wrong track. The big issue is that it's far less forgiving than the original unit when working with DAWs that don't offer full Console 1 compatibility the original was already a bit of a headache.
It's a nice addition, but make no mistake, this is JUST faders for C1, the width control is outrageously mono-incompatible. I've had mixed results connecting to my original C1, on my main computer they work perfectly but on others I've had to power cycle many a time to get rolling. Faders are nice and weighty and have a good throw length. Initial setup on project is tedious: you have to insert the Console 1 plug-in onto every track you need mixed, and there is no easy way to do that. I couldn't get it transport control to work, track naming is manual. This contributes a lot to how you progress as a producer. Main pro: the Console 1 series encourages you to mix by ear, not based on your on-screen readings. If you have a group of 12 tracks that stand for one instrument, you can have it represented as one track. you can control which tracks appear on your controller.
With a properly set-up project, you will literally have your hands on this thing at all times during mixing.
layers of control are very usable and intuitive. motorized faders work well and are easy to use This is MUCH smaller than the motorized Behringer a tiny footprint compared to other motorized fader controllers. This controller works best paired with the original Console 1: focus on one track in Console 1 and balance the overall mix on faders.
