The Softube Console 1, the next generation mixer, is a unique centerpiece for the DAW based studio.The hardware lets you quickly switch between your tracks and control gate, EQ, compressor and more. The Console 1 software gives you the sound of a classic Solid State Logic console. May 24, 2018 Dang, and thanks! Hopefully this will get to PreSonus to fix in Studio One 4, although the Console 1 plug in was the only one I was having the issue with. It initially loaded as an AU, which worked, except lacked full functionality for the Console 1. Dec 23, 2017 I am trying out a Console 1 with the Presonus Studio One 3 demo. Support documents/videos for the Console 1 seem to be hard to find. (Beyond showing features.) I would like to know how to connect Console 1 with Studio 1 so that the track numbers and names automatically appear in the Console 1 software. Now with software that enables you to manipulate select UAD plug-ins in the physical universe, the Softube Console 1 MK II Hardware and Software Mixer is an integrated hardware solution designed for studio mixing without the use of a mouse.
Softube, makers of hardware and software, has announced an update to their software.
