Combining the smooth operating EQF-100 parametric passive equalizer with the mild but authoritative TLA-100A compressor, Summit Audio Grand Channel is a highly versatile channel strip that will cover a large part of your mixing needs.
Having the two combined in a single plug-in makes adjustments easier, as you will often find that the compressor affects the equalizer and vice versa. By default, the sound reaches the equalizer before the compressor, but you can easily reverse the order with a single switch.
The granddaddy of channel strips
Grand Channel combines two Summit Audio standard-bearers in stunning synergy. The warm and smooth tone sculpting king EQF-100 Full Range Equalizer, and the luxe and dead-simple TLA-100A Compressor.
A compressor beyond compare
The TLA-100A is easy to use and never sounds small or constrained. Gently, it keeps vocals, acoustic guitars, and bass in place. On the master bus, TLA-100A can bring a disjointed mix together.
The epitome of equalization
The tone sculpting EQF-100 is super smooth and highly flexible. It can add an enormous low-end and silky top to your mixes, plus carve out or boost narrow parts of the mid-range.
This product supports Extended Features
We love VU meters, Bakelite knobs, and analog quirks. But we want modern precision and workflow. The answer? Softube Extended Features. Easy-access panels with the innovations you need close at hand.
What's Included
Grand Channel
Summit Audio combined the best of vintage tube design with a modern sensibility in EQF-100 and TLA-100A. They wanted these units to stand the test of time. Today, the beauty of both lives on in one grand channel strip plug-in.
EQF-100
Flexible and smooth, the Summit Audio EQF-100 sets the standard for passive equalizer design. And, with its sweet sound, it can solve most of the tonality issues you might encounter in a mix.
TLA-100A
The Summit Audio TLA-100A is a classic compressor that graces every top-tier studio around the world. The plug-in version comes with modern additions, such as Parallel Compression, Saturation Control, and Low-cut Filtering.
Grand Channel for Console 1
Believe it or not, Grand Channel gets even better when you use it with Console 1. With seamless integration into the Console 1 workflow, Grand Channel provides intuitive hands-on control over a sonic giant.
In short
Softube develops both hardware and software for the audio industry. A number of high-end computer recording plug-ins are available under the Softube brand and the company has done development for reputable companies such as Abbey Road Studios and TC Electronic. 2010 marked a new beginning for Softube as Marshall released the JMD:1, a guitar amplifier which contains hardware and software developed by Softube.
The company was founded in 2003 and consists of four guys with the head quarter in Linköping, Sweden. It's located about 2 hours southwest of Stockholm and 1.5 hours away from Stockholm Skavsta Airport.
All Softube products require a computer with appropriate DAW host software (none of which are included).
Versions from 2.5.38 and newer of the Softube plug-ins have the following minimum requirements:
All native versions
In theory, any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (Pro Tools 11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs - and our own rigorous testing standards - we only officially test our plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, Reaper, and Cakewalk. Softube plugins are not tested in non-listed systems, but they most likely work as long as the system requirements are met. We cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems.
Note: We have checked the basic functionality of our plug-ins, and Softube Central, under Apple Rosetta 2.
With regards to the different VST formats, we strongly recommend using VST3 as some of our plug-ins have features that are not present in the older VST format. Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo. The most recent maintenance release of your DAW application is recommended. AAX DSP is not currently in active development. TDM/VENUE is no longer supported (old downloads are available on the Legacy Installers page).
Find the Softube installer you need both Softube Central and individual plug-ins.
AAX DSP version
For AAX DSP you need to meet the above requirements for the Native versions. You also need to have an Avid HDX processing card. For plug-ins available for AAX DSP, see Which Softube plug-ins support AAX DSP?
