Console 1 Channel Mk III Walkthrough - Softube

[@michaelperez3887]

I don't need it, but I WANT IT.

[@jumgarcia50]

For real! 😂

[@GSuccessful]

Same feeling 😂

[@reiamusicgroup]

Right there with you 😊

[@rampageExtremeGamer]

at that price - I'm happy to stick with my MK2 - it already does everything I need.

[@danielkisel5661]

Man this is everything I wanted since I got Softube Console 1 MKII and More!!! 2 EQs, more shape section options and that preamp? Mind-blowing... This is seriously one stop shop for every mixing need one might have!

[@johnnyvegas2015]

already ordered one....mine mk1 served me well for many years and it's time to upgrade...cheers

[@SoftubeStudios]

That's wonderful to hear! :) Cheers, David at the Softube Support

[@DanielFowlerSr]

This is MORE than what you are looking at or words can describe! I have been a user for about 3 weeks of this device. What it does is incredible! I have been in audio and video production for over 30 Years professionally. Finally, I ran into Todd here on another channel, he explained this device differently than I understood. The expansive device offers many possibilities that are not even explained here. It's also backed by plugins that are top-of-the-line proven quality. What a GREAT BUY! ¡REAL STUFF! I also run a computer company making quality computer systems and writing software. The way this thing handles resources is great for the number of tracks and style of programming. Not to mention other names, But Softube You Really Out Did Yourself, and you are leading the way with its product and its software. I SEE Your Excellence!

[@douggroulx1525]

Ok that’s awesome! Soft tube you guys nailed it, Depth that is innovative 2 EQ’s 2 compressors. Amazing!

[@INDAmedia]

Good gets better. Nice one, Softube. Good to see that there are companies left actually improving and not just re-designing. This will make it on my desk for sure!

[@ZacharyRedFulton]

So just out of curiosity……does having the dual core equalizer basically turn your 4-band EQ into an EIGHT-band EQ??? Likewise, does having the dual core compressor basically allow you to apply serial compression on individual tracks???

[@RachelFlowersMusic]

Does the Mk III have the same accessibility of the Mk II?

[@SoftubeStudios]

Hi! Yes, the accessibility features are available in Mk III as well :) Best regards, David at Softube

[@G_handle]

​ @SoftubeStudios As an OG Console 1 owner/user with a $1000 Mk I and two Mk II's, I'm always impressed by how my investment Keeps gaining value, unlike ANY other studio equipment I've purchased in the last 30-years. That said, I have MANY questions: A) Where's the Manual???? This video glossed over quite a bit, and I'm sure you've got more videos coming, but I want to pull the trigger Now, but not without reading up on what I'm getting. B) You guys seem to have addressed Many of the feature request I've had over the Console 1 journey. However, I noticed in the video inside the Load Menus an option for MIDI 1 and MIDI 2. WTF is that!?!?!?!?! Does that mean that Channel can Pass MIDI information from the knobs in that section, say Compressor #2, over to the DAW, where upon I could map it to ANYTHING??? C) Is there going to be a DIFFERENT Channel Strip plugin for this in the DAW, or will there only be 1 like there is now? And if it is still the one, will I have access to these additional features from my Mk I and II's? What additional functionality will they inherit from this update/upgrade?? I Need More INFORMATION......

[@nelsonleeroy]

I sold the first version (I customized it with SSL knobs to have some grip, it's good you fixed this now) a long time ago. But if that one allows the mapping of third-party plugins, I may be back in the softube world. Soft tube/uad are awesome plugins. But I need to have my own chains including unconventional modulation plugins, and having such a good controller and having to use the mousse was the main reason why I sold the previous model.

[@PaulMelia]

You could map third party plugs in. I've done it on mine. There is even a video on KZbin how to do it.

[@nelsonleeroy]

I've seen zozillathagreat video if you refer to his one. And he says that you can't back and forth, either you use it as midi controler with third party, or you're using the softube system... Because you need to unplug relaunch the console one app with pontential bugs... But anyway, I will think about it and I just see that they will upgrade their fader console too, so maybe it will be more third party firendly...

[@PaulMelia]

Yep, that's true. Can't change the mapping to do it in PT. I don't see much in Fader mk3 that is better then mark 2 to be honest. I think it's a great little device. @@nelsonleeroy

[@nelsonleeroy]

Yep but the knobs are real analog knobs they say. I guess we have to see more, I went to their site again, If I want to switch back I will have to get the 849€ volume 6 + the controller. to have my main mixing plugins well integrated. I ditch PT 10 years ago, I'm on studio one with a fader port16 but there's many very good thing (the integration wit hSthing I obviously) but also many things I don't like, I was thinking about SSL UF8+ UF1 and now there's this, so I'll think about it @@PaulMelia

[@nj1255]

How much will it be? Btw; at this point, Softube might as well just create their own DAW for the Console 1 hardware that is solely for mixing (and maybe mastering). Instead of being able to load VST plugins in it, provide an extensive bundle of basic tools, on top of the plugins you already have, and make every single tool and the whole DAW controllable through the dedicated hardware. I'd definitely pay $2-3k for something like that. The sound of the Softube software is already there, we are only missing the experience of a hybrid mixing setup/desk!

[@alexanderstuartpetty485]

Maybe an interface, too!

[@nj1255]

@@alexanderstuartpetty485 Maybe not necessary if the "DAW" would be only for mixing, but it could be useful for monitoring. It would make things much more expensive though, since great DA converters are not cheap. 99.9% of people who would be interested in a product like this already has converters anyways. The reason I said "only for mixing" is because if it has to be for recording and producing as well, it would be a full-blown DAW that people will want to be able to use their own third-party plugins in, which you won't be able to control with Console 1 (plus it will have to have so much more functionality and features that it would be impossible to control everything from the console 1).

[@rumblechannel6343]

They teamed up with universal audio and it's deeply integrated in Luna as far as I know. That's probably as good as it gets at least for the near future. :)

[@SoftubeStudios]

Hi! Channel will retail for 899 USD/ 995 EUR/ 11900 SEK. Shipping is free for EU and US purchases made through softube.com. Best regards, David at Softube

[@G_handle]

What would a Console 1 DAW bring that I don't already have by adding my Console 1 to the dozen DAWs I already have? Even for strictly mixing, I'm a Heavy Console 1 zealot, but I still use a bunch of other plugins. Now, if you don't know, the Console 1 hardware is just a Midi controller. If you quit the OSD app, the hardware gets 'released' to your system and you can map anything you want to the knobs via your DAW. I have em all, but my go-to system is Reaper. Console 1 integrates perfectly with Reaper (and others) out of the box, but Reaper also has built in extensive Midi mapping, as well as the ultimate control surface extension called C.S.I. (Control Surface Integrator) Basically with Reaper CSI, the same kind of hardware control over the software that you get with Console 1, you can Also get with the entire DAW and Every Other Plugin you own. So besides having a $100,000 Avid S6 & ProTools system, Reaper CSI & Softube Console 1 with give you that level of total control for hundreds not hundreds-of-thousands of dollars.

[@camreese1444]

Dynamic EQ option would be cool

[@THZORROMUSIC]

Yup, take my money. plus for fader mk III in advance. Felt it coming up, luckly didn´t go for the ssls.

[@markgabbidon5859]

awseome unit from the walkthrough. My one complaint is the screens are way too small. I will still need to look up at the monitor.

[@triniticoclough6387]

For some reason they have it solved that problem that seems to be consistent with all of their hardware that they make. I don’t like the unit they have nor do I like the console one channel strip unit nor do I like this one because of the same exact problem no display no numeric indication. Nothing you have to look at the screen all day, this is just for them to keep the prices low ( cheap )

[@ehav]

I love the dual eq mode!

[@lukasfehling1090]

@SoftubeStudios will the display be able to tell me which channel i am working on? Didnt see that in the video. Because on my mk2 its a real workflow bummer, that i always have to open the on Screen display to Check that i am on the right track...

[@SoftubeStudios]

Hey Lukas! Yes! The displays on the hardware are customized to always show you relevant information, which typically is the last knob you touched and visualizations for that section. In default mode the left screen will show Input, Filter, Shape and Equalizer parameters and curves. The right screen will show Compressor, Drive and output parameters and curves. Cheers, David at Softube

[@tombuur]

Looks very interesting. Probably will buy it. But I still hope I can switch the knobs with my SSL style colored knobs.

[@IntheDAW]

So I am a user of the original console 1. I own the fader and knob version and all the paid expansions. My older console 1 is starting to have issues with the high shelf eq frequency knob. Does this new one fit in the same little case that you guys sell for my older ones?

[@ndavies8]

Excited for this!

[@SoftubeStudios]

So are we!! :) Cheers, David at Sofutbe

[@Strepite]

One question, if I crank the preamp in the beginning the signal is "clipping" over 0... Then all other adjustments I make, shape, EQ and stuff is just adding more gain, the first option to lower the gain is during the compression stage and of course the end volume. So I guess the 88/96 upsampling is there to avoid digital clipping?

[@bluematrix5001]

Got it and is great, but should have a new setting for the potentiometers .. in the MK3 are way too sensitive in any of the settings, I like better how precise you could be with the Console 1 MKII

[@SoftubeStudios]

Hi, I'll save your feedback as a feature request :) // Sara at Softube

[@AmielRocker]

@@SoftubeStudios love the MK3 but yep, the 4 modes in a way are so similar , it is very hard to move 1 hz increments with the EQs, is there any key command for fine increments?

[@thatlogicproguy]

Is there a way to separate the DAW Volume from the Main Output Volume in Logic Pro? Logic Pro 10.8.1

[@SoftubeStudios]

Hi! You can control the DAW volume with the Volume Knob and the plug-in volume by pressing the Shift button and using the same Volume Knob. I hope this helps! If not, please contact support at www.softube.com/contact-us/technical-support Best regards, David at Softube

[@Rhuggins]

Question , does this one still have the 5db rolloffat 10 hz like the old one? Even without anything instantiated, it always would never null with the source (by a lot too, about -60dB) just by having the plugin active. I think perhaps the HPF is always on with no way to disable..

[@deividasgnedinas7592]

If we buy this box, will we get integrated several plugins from already existing Softube, or will there be newly created/programed plugins ? It's important.

Spoke too soon ;)

[@Clarity-808]

Looks sexy, will probably upgrade. 1. We need an Auto-gain Set button!!! A bit disappointed that this feature is still left out. Even if it’s software-only for now, that would be great. Doing it by ear can be wrong and so defeats the purpose. 2. When sweeping for resonances, can we use the mouse/keyboard on the software? Right now Pro-Q 3 has the fastest workflow for taming narrow peaks and so I’d want something just as fast (while staying in the world of C1). 3. On that note, Is a full video manual coming? This video was great but some things are missing e.g. the software aspect, explanation of groups, shift combos he was doing in the video….

[@jensoettrich762]

Hi I still have Console mk II but since I installed the latest Software Update I have in my AU Console Plug IN in Logic - 2 EQs and 2 Compressors ... is that a new function / feature ? Can I customize the channel strip inside the plug in ?

Only reason I didn't buy console 1 is because it can't load other brands plugins and assign knobs and buttons to plugin functions. I understand why that is, it's the foundation of this system that it isn't possible and softube wants to make more money on their plugins and that's okay. Unless brands could program their plugins to a format for console 1, like NI NKS format. Seems like a not so nice workflow to constantly leave the console 1 to use other brands plugins with a mouse. I love to use the softube plugins that I have, 6 of my favourite plugins that I use a lot are from softube, but I do not only use softube and I do not wish to limit myself. Would love to hear how others manage or overcome this problem.

well, i need an upgrade i guess. the displays alone are a game changer. and i LOVE VU Meters.... so

I think this will be more interesting once the mouse and keyboard can be more consistently replaced. Being able to navigate a daw in a way that feels less like a computer could be cool. Though, I'm not totally sure how navigating a plugin on a specific track really helps all that much as moving audio, editing, and basic navigation stuff are much more tedious from daw to daw. Having a solidified way to move could be cool as well.

[@Dispoboy1]

Indeed. This is Not a Tool for producers, its for mixing engineers. You don’t need to touch your computer IF the Song is allready recorded and arranged. Its a cool thing and the plugins coming with it Sound really Good, but who tf will change bis workflow when he comes to the mixing Stage, After just Recording and arranging in the DAW. Real professional Mixing engineers wont use it either because they usually will also use hardware or 3rdparty Plugins, so i don’t really get the Target Group of this thing…

It was a much more palatableprice so maybe when they come out with a Mark four maybe they’ll be a more reasonable price

[@huberttorzewski]

That tape preamp example was very impressive - look how much smaller the reading on peaks got (on the output meter). Dual dynamics, dual compression and dual eq is also a nice addition. I can see it very useful during mixing. However I was hoping for a display to show a track name instead of the menu and the eq curves (which I don't want to see during mixing 80% of the time because I can focus on a sound better than while looking at the eq graphs, that's why I love mk2). That is one thing that I really don't like about the new unit.

[@huberttorzewski]

This is good if you can easily custom map it to any plugin or DAW using USB and something better than MIDI, say OSC, so switching is easy, and connections offer good feedback and resolution. Otherwise, it's just an awfully expensive channel strip plugin with a pricey dedicated hardware controller, similar to SSL's offering, though this one looks to have better controls, wonder if it sounds the same. But the whole dedicated hardware signal chain controller approach seems like a recipe for wasteful clutter overload in the real world like my plugin folder is in the virtual world. (Says he who is reasonably pretty happy with his two DJ TechTools Midi Fighter Twisters and a Chinese-made Macropad. Always on the lookout for a better alternative though, there's still room for improvement with my setup. Love the custom colored LEDs on the row of top buttons on your new device, eventually I am going to try and add that functionality to my Macropad., it's already got the individually colored LEDs, just need to write-cobble together some software for it.)
