Which Softube plug-ins support AAX DSP?

These are the maximum number of instances per card. In most cases, the Pro Tools Mixer will take one chip and thereby lowering the number of actual instances. In other cases we might have made mistakes calculating these numbers, so if you find any errors please let us know!

Softube Modular seems rather CPU heavy – Why is that?

Modular significantly raises the bar for realistic modeling of analog circuits. It represents an entirely new level of detail when it comes to modeling individual oscillators, filters, and other circuits.

Some competing products offer a low-quality mode to preserve CPU. We do not do that, as such a mode would neither live up to Softube’s quality standards nor to the quality standards of our partnering companies, such as Doepfer and Intellijel. Softube’s reputation for being heads and shoulders above the competition is what convinced our partners to work with us in the first place.

So Modular is as demanding on the CPU as it needs to be. With that said, Softube is constantly looking into optimizations and other means of preserving CPU power for all our plug-ins. But Softube can of course not promise any substantial future CPU savings at this point.

Can I demo the same Softube plug-in twice?

If you’ve already had a Softube demo license for a plug-in, it is not possible to request another demo license.

However, if you catch the Softube support team in a good mood, you might be able to get an extended demo (asking politely generally helps…).

Are there any limits in the demo versions of Softube?

No, the demo versions are exactly the same as the full versions. The only thing that sets them apart from a full version is that they expire after 20 days of use.

Can I demo Console 1 before purchasing?

Console 1 is a product that integrates both hardware and software, so the absolute best way to test Console 1 is to try and find a local dealer that has a unit in stock.

The reason there is no demo license for the Console 1 software available at softube.com is that using the software only wouldn’t give the full user experience one would get from running the complete Console 1 system with the hardware/software combo.

If you’re really eager to find out how the Console 1 software (i.e. the included SSL SL4000E channel strip) sounds, and you’re unable to find a Console 1 dealer nearby, please contact the Softube support team. They can deposit a 20-day demo license to your account.

Please note that it is not possible to switch the channel strip when running the software demo license of Console 1. This means that the demo licenses for the SSL 9000K and British Class A channel strips require the Console 1 hardware to run (as opposed to the American Class A and Summit Audio Grand Channel, which are also available as regular plug-ins). Also, please note that won’t be able to access the Console 1 On-Screen Display in the demo version.

How can I demo Softube plug-ins?

The first thing you need to do is to create a Softube account.

Then, head over to the Softube web store and click the product(s) you want to demo. At the top of each product page, there’s a ‘Try Now’ button. Clicking it will deposit a 20-day demo license straight to your account and make the plug-in ready for download via Softube Central.

Are there upgrade paths available for Softube products?

Yes, there is a whole bunch of software upgrade paths available for Softube products!

For instance, if you have a full license for any of the plug-ins included in Softube Volume 4, you will be able to purchase the Volume 4 license at a discounted rate.

Upgrade paths that are available to you will be indicated in the web store by a purple ‘Upgrade available’ symbol.

Does Softube offer artist pricing/endorsement deals?

A

Does Softube offer artist pricing/endorsement deals?

Softube does receive a large number of endorsement inquiries from producers, engineers, and artists around the world.

Since all our Softube customers are awesome artists of one kind or another, they sadly can’t offer special ‘artist’ prices simply on the basis of professional status, or even merit.

That said, however, they do selectively partner with highly prominent or strategically relevant professionals when the opportunity arises, and there’s a clear and substantial marketing objective and benefit for Softube.
