If you're using a Digidesign Pro Tools|HD, HD Accel or VENUE system, TC Electronic has released the Tube-Tech CL 1B plugin for your emulating needs. The CL 1B plugin uses advanced component emulation technology to provide the analog sound of Tube-Tech's touted compressor / limiter to Pro Tools.

TC's plugin uses a meticulously made algorithm to allow two instances in mono / stereo at 44.1 / 48 kHz or a single instance in mono / stereo at 88.2 / 96 kHz per DSP chip on the HD Accel hardware. With HD Core hardware, only one instance is supported per DSP chip at 44.1 / 48 kHz.

Fast Features:

• 30 dBs of gain
• Continuously variable ratio ranging from 2:1to 10:1
• Advanced metering capable of displaying the input, output and compressed signals for either the left, right or both channels combined
• Flexible attack/release controls enabling the CL 1B to be used as an insert or bus compressor
• Sidechain/Link reproduces the dynamic master/slave relationship between the left and right channels, found on the hardware version of CL 1B
• Windows XP and Mac OS X (Intel & PPC) supported
• 24-bit / 96 kHz supported
• Digidesign Pro Tools|HD, HD Accel and VENUE supported
