Universal Audio has launched a limited time promotion on its audio plugin featuring a vintage-inspired tube mic preamp, transparent dynamics control, and intuitively voiced EQ.

The Century Tube Channel Strip plugin is offered for free for the next few weeks.

Century Tube Channel Strip blurs the lines between analog and digital, giving you all of the important impedance, gain staging “sweet spots,” and circuit behaviors of a vintage tube preamp, thanks to UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology. The secret is Unison’s bi‑directional control and communication from the Century Tube Channel Strip plug‑in to the digitally controlled mic preamps in Apollo.

Century Tube Channel Strip features

  • Use any audio interface, with both UAD Native and Apollo Realtime/UAD-2 versions included.
  • Enhance and simplify your recording workflow with a first-pass tool designed for tracking vocals, guitars, synths and more.
  • Stay in the creative zone and confidently record performances with a broad stroke, “do‑no‑harm,” tube channel strip.
  • Easily flatter your tracks with a vintage-style tube mic preamp, simple three-band EQ, and optical compressor.
  • Control Apollo interface mic preamp gain staging and impedance directly from the Century Tube Channel Strip plug-in via Unison™ technology.

Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), the Century Tube Channel Strip is free until September 15th, 2024 (regular $199 USD). The offer is available at Plugin Boutique and from the Univeral Audio store.
