Loopcloud has announced that it is offering Softube’s meticulous model of an iconic 1970s-era compressor for free with a subscription to its plans.
Part of the Icons collection, VCA Compressor delivers the famous punchy sound of an early DBX 160 compressor/limiter.
The plugin comes with added features such as new ratios, parallel compression, and detector filtering.
Quirky and characterful, the legendary hardware we used to model our VCA Compressor is unique and highly acclaimed. Much of that is owed to its famed hard knee compression curve and the harmonic content it adds in the gain stages.
We left the grabby, vintage character and the unique attributes—such as RMS level detection and feed-forward gain reduction—intact but gave VCA Compressor a slate of modern features for mixing and production. The combination delivers snap and sheen in spades, plus superior Softube sound quality and an enhanced workflow.
Regularly priced $149 USD, VCA Compressor for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is free with a Loopcloud plan until April 30th, 2024.
