Tube Tech Cl1b Plugin Crackl
Pablo Barjavel
I use to work in a studio that has a real Tube-Tech CL1-B compressor, I like it very much, very nice color and tone, definitely amazing on vocals. At some point, it failed so we had to get it repaired and it took a while, so in the meantime we tried the Softube CL1B plugin instead. I was surprised to feel the same kind of color and behavior in the sound, not 1 to 1, but close enough (it was the v.1 not the MKII). However, I watched some Youtube comparisons showing it's far from the original and indeed, on the video it sounds pretty far.. I supposed because it's an analog device, not every CL1B must sound perfectly the same..
CL 1B Native Plug-in
The CL1B NATIVE version for VST, AU and RTAS platforms is provided by Softube. Taking the CL1B plugin project one major step further, we decided in early spring 2009 to release VST/AU/RTAS versions, and once again placed the developing task in the hands of Softube in Sweden.
There are a couple of hardware compressors that have been studio classics, the Teletronix LA-2A is one such example. The LA-2A is a tube output level optical compressor and is known for its warmth and character, which can be found on countless albums, due to its slower attack and release times. The new producer of the reissue hardware, Universal Audio, knew that merely restoring the iconic compressor would not suffice. They took it upon themselves to model all of the popular sounds through their Teletronix LA-2A as part of their UAD plugins.
