Mixing With Mike Plugin of the Week: Softube FET Compressor

[@datamasked623]

This thing is quite excellent, and very light on the CPU, which is nice. I bought this and the Softube Tube-Tech bundle. Superb.

I know they've released the Mk II version, but this is still a favourite of mine to use because of its power and transparency.

The mystery of this plugin's UI ! Someone at has been starring at his father's HI-FI stereo amplifier for more than just a little bit longer than forever. But, didn't we all did that as well ?

nice review! I see many instances of MV2, could you please make a video with the examples of using it? thanks!

overbe Hey overbe, I love the MV2, it is very simple plugin that I primarily use for low-level compression. Low level compression takes signals that fall below a threshold and compresses them upward. This is great for adding detail and air to any sound. Since the plugin only has 2 sliders, there is not a lot to go over with it. You will see me using it in some of the other mix tip videos. Cheers! Mike
