What are your thoughts on the Icons Collection?
These are amazing, it's the first time I spent so much on plugins but I after I gave a try on the free trial I just had to have them, they sound amazing and do not regret the purchase. Keep up with the videos :D
Thank you so much! So glad I you dig the compressors. I felt the same when I tried them out!
Outstanding video! Not only a good demo, but great little mixing tidbits and applications. Top shelf presentation as well. 🤘🤘
Thank you so much, dude!
It looks like you've got a solid channel here. Nice delivery and presentation. Subbed.
Thank you very much! ❤️
Good job. You got me wanting more compressor plugins even though I've explicitly told myself "no more compressor plugins" haha
Dooo eeeeet! 🤣🤣 I was surprised how much I liked these compressors. I knew they were gonna be good quality but I've never been creatively inspired by a compressor like these.
@@TheRealStevenWard ah man that sounds rad
Ooh, not to talk about how insanely beautiful the design is on these plugins! Great job man, you're fueling my GAS haha
Absolutely! The design is beautiful! I know you'd end up enjoying these for sure. Normally I don't get that excited over new gear but these were fantastic
the drive option is cool and should actually be standard in any plugin emulating analog gear, the 1:5:1 ratio on the 76 could be cool with the drive to clip drums lightly when they peak. Song was dope!
Agreed! The drive should definitely be standard. I'll definitely try that out on drums for my next mix!
Pure fire, my man! 🔥
Thank you soo much, dude! I had a ton of fun putting this together!
I love Softube's plugins, but it really bothers me that they put the DRY/WET control before the output gain.
Is there a reason I'm missing as to why they do this?
I'm actually not sure. I'll ask and see if I can get an answer though! 😁
Dry and wet mix are for mixing the signals. Once you have the mixture you want, you then need to use the output to give the desired volume in The full mix. Hope this helps
@@capitalcrud9062 but you should be able to balance the wet signal before the mix control. Then sweeping the mix control won’t drastically change the level, and a setting a 50% actually gives you a 50/50 mix.
How it with compare to slate vmr fet compressors?
Based off the same model but the softube version will have more options. It's been a long time since I've used the slate FET but I wasn't terribly impressed with it when I had it. It was decent for basic utility but not much else.
@@TheRealStevenWard Thanks!
@@alexeybatura5151 my pleasure! 😁
