New Bling: The Latest Additions to Volume

Some of Volume 5's crowning jewels are also its latest additions. The sonic surgeon with the golden bands, Weiss EQ MP, is new to this collection. We also welcome Amp Room to this edition. Amp Room is the pro audio guitar and bass platform, designed to be a continuously expanding system. And then there’s Marshall Cabinet Collection, a grouping of eight classic, rare, and hand-wired speaker cabs officially licensed by Marshall. Finally, Statement Lead, a polyphonic synth for contemporary lead sounds that’s rock-solid when it comes to music production and songwriting, rounds out the shiny debut of these amazing assets.

About Manufacturer

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.

Specifications

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

  • Mac OS X 10.13 up to 12
  • Windows 10 and 11 64-bit 
  • Mac: Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 / Xeon / Full Apple silicon support (M1 or higher)
  • Windows: Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 / Xeon / AMD Quad-Core or newer
  • Screen resolution larger than 1280x800
  • 8 GB RAM or more is recommended, as well as at least 8 GB hard disk space for installation (individual plug-ins take less space, while sample libraries may require additional disk space)
  • Softube account
  • iLok account
  • Internet access for downloading installers and managing licenses
  • iLok generation 2 and up, if you intend to use an iLok key for authorizing your plug-ins (note that a physical iLok USB key is not a requirement)

 

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?
