Featuring numerous sonic enhancements and new high-resolution graphics, the Tube-Tech CL 1B MkII plug-in has been reimagined with Softube's latest component modeling and signal processing technology, for an even deeper emulation than before — capturing this modern classic in all its tube glory.Track and mix with an updated emulation of a modern classic compressor, fully endorsed by Tube-Tech, Denmark
Enhance transients and retain dynamics with new Parallel Compression and Sidechain Low Cut controls
Add musical-sounding compression to vocals with the same “go-to” unit preferred by Kanye West, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez
Dial-up weight and tube character on drums, bass, acoustic guitars, and vocals
A Modern Opto
A studio staple across a variety of genres, the Tube Tech CL 1B takes the classic warm opto compression recipe and modernizes it with selectable Fixed, Manual, or Fix/Man attack and release settings, making it useful on myriad sources. From soft and gentle massaging of a vocal to accentuating punch and snap on drums or guitars, the CL 1B's vintage/modern approach to dynamics control make it a go-to compressor for pop royalty.
Added Versatility
The new Parallel Compression control lets you easily blend in compression on a drum loop or lead vocal, while the added Low Cut Sidechain feature keeps your sources punchy by keeping greedy low end away from your compression threshold.
Stylish New Graphics
Along with the revamped sonics and added features, now you can tweak your CL 1B MkII from a new point of view with bold high-res graphics that pop — especially on 4K or Ultra HD screens.

5 Gründe warum du diese Plug in kaufen solltest
Also, ich habe kürzlich das Tube-Tech CL 1B Mk2 Compressor Plug-In ausprobiert und ich muss sagen, dass ich wirklich beeindruckt bin! Hier sind fünf Gründe, warum ich denke, dass es ein großartiges Tool ist:
1. Der Klang ist fantastisch! Es verleiht meinem Audio eine warme, vollmundige Klangqualität, die meinem Mix eine natürliche Tiefe und Dimension verleiht. Es funktioniert wirklich gut, um Vocals, Gitarren, Drums und andere Instrumente zu glätten und zu formen.
2. Es ist super einfach zu bedienen. Obwohl es viele verschiedene Einstellungen und Optionen gibt, fand ich die Benutzeroberfläche sehr intuitiv und einfach zu navigieren. Ich konnte schnell den Klang anpassen, den ich wollte.
3. Es ist sehr flexibel. Das Plug-In bietet viele verschiedene Einstellungen und Optionen, um den Klang genau nach meinen Wünschen zu gestalten. Ich konnte die Kompressionseinstellungen, den Attack- und Release-Zeitpunkt und vieles mehr anpassen, um meinen Sound perfekt zu machen.
4. Es ist sehr zuverlässig. Ich hatte keine Probleme damit, das Plug-In in meiner DAW zu verwenden, und es funktionierte immer reibungslos. Ich kann mich darauf verlassen, dass es mir immer den Sound gibt, den ich brauche.
5. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist großartig. Obwohl es nicht billig ist, denke ich, dass es ein tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bietet. Die Qualität des Klangs, die Flexibilität und die Zuverlässigkeit machen es zu einer Investition, die sich wirklich lohnt.
Insgesamt bin ich wirklich begeistert vom Tube-Tech CL 1B Mk2 Compressor Plug-In. Ich denke, es ist ein großartiges Tool für jeden, der nach einem hochwertigen Kompressor sucht, um seinen Sound zu verbessern. Es komm nah an das original und das ist nur meine Meinung und selbstverständlich darf jeder sich ein Bild machen in dem er es austestet für sich. Kreative Grüsse Kmalectro

Nice and warm
Title says it all. This thing will definitely get the job done for either recording or any post work.
D. Felix
Awesome
I started a trail with this plugin and i had to purchase the next day of using highly recommended
J. Soerensen
Very warm and musical
I really like this plugin, I've used the hardware version in the late nineties and early 2000's and it was my go to compressor. Now I can use multiple instances in a mix, and it sounds awesome.
Z. Abresch
Very musical and warm compression
I love this on synth tracks to give some warmth. The sidechain filtering is really effective. Fixed attack & release makes it truly set & forget.
N. Merrick
Very good.
I have owned and used real Tube-Tech CL 1Bs for years. This is a great plugin!

Impressive how just processing vocals on it just improves 'em, giving them body without ruin all the other aspects, super recommended.

Great and a standard
1176,la2a, cl1b…. There’s a reason these are the industry standard
F. San Filippo
If you have the 1176, Fairchild, and LA-2A collections, you might consider this next.
A wonderful cross between a Fairchild and an 1176 -- has the controls of an 1176 but the more responsive nature of a variable mu compressor. You can get by without it, and the controls are a little funky and overly sensitive around the sweet spot of the threshold. But it sounds good. Would be nice to have a gain in and out of the plugin, like the native Softube version.
