Software Compatibility

Most software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers, but check to make sure.

If you're using Pro Tools, AAX plug-ins (or RTAS for older versions) are what you need. Most other Mac DAWs support AU plug-ins. VST is compatible with a number of Mac and Windows programs. Be sure you choose plug-ins that work with your DAW!

Classic Analog Sonics and Workflow for Your DAW-based Studio

Based on legendary classic American large-format console hardware, Softube's American Class A Console channel strip plug-in is quick and easy to work with and brings boatloads of character to your productions. It features a gate and transient shapers, an amazing 4-band equalizer with range control and proportional-Q, a cool Compressor design you can switch between feedback and feed-forward operation, and a warm, crunchy Output Drive section.

Use with Console 1 or standalone

If you're a Softube Console 1 hybrid hardware/software mix system user, combine American Class A with British Class A, the Summit Audio Grand Channel, and two SSL 4000 E and 9000 K channels for the ultimate in workflow versatility. And for added versatility, you can use American Class A Console as a native standalone plug-in; the license gives you access to both versions. Used standalone, American Class A Console serves up stunning hi-res visuals, that give you immediate feedback and more, injecting vintage analog sonics and workflow into your DAW-based studio. Take it from Sweetwater: no modern studio is complete without Softube American Class A Console.

Rated 5/5

Killer plugin!

I'm really loving the American Class A emulation. It delivers amazing punch and sound. I also own the Neve, and of course the 4000 emulation and all are quite good. I'd recommend getting this virtual console, especially to guys who are itb.
Rated 4.5/5

Impressed

This is probably one of the best sounding and most versatile channel strip I have ever used. Adds punch where needed. Adds smoothness when warranted. Mix bus or individual tracks. Vocals or instruments. Sounds good on everything!
Rated 2/5

decent, but not great

It's decent software for sure. You cna find much better for less. Sweet water's customer service is outstanding.However, Softube's service isn't very impressive in few times I have had to reach out.
