Softube Console 1 Channel & Fader Mk III Announced

[StillLife]

With FabFilter and UAD/UADx support now, plus the existing Softube plugins and channel strips, I've started just using what Console 1 supports in my projects for mixing. Plugin GAS is real but then also introduces choice paralysis IMO. With Console 1, I can get fantastic results just using what I can control with it for 99% of my needs. Would like a dynamic EQ, but we managed to survive without it for a long time and still get great mixes.

Same here. I only use c1 for mixing now, and have creative effects (soundtoys and liquidsonics) on the sends. Hands on bliss.

So true. Working with it most of yesterday was really refreshing, not to be distracted by too many choices / getting bogged down clicking around on controls etc… Actually made mixing feel fun again. Can’t put a price on that!

EDIT: the Alt + Drag suggestion was incorrect, they we're referring to ProQ3 standalone, not console 1 plugin. Doh!
