Rock n’ roll scientists making world class software for audio professionals and musicians.

Most recently, Softube’s Console 1 has narrowed the divide between software DAW and hardware console. The Console 1 hardware controller offers hands on control of the included plug-in emulation of the iconic SSL 4000E (other channel strips available), as well as control of certain Softube and Universal Audio plug-ins, allowing the user to get back to mixing with their ears and hands, not their eyes.
