Bus Processor Compressor by Softube A Glue Compressor To Keep It All Together
Softube have received a lot of requests for a bus compressor over the years. Whether they would make one wasn’t up for debate. To make one that offers something extra for the modern producer, one that they would want to use themselves, was essential.
It took some time, but with ultramodern algorithmic compression in a classic compressor style, saturation, sidechain, spatialization, and more, they think you will agree that some things are worth the wait. This is Bus Processor.
The Art of Rock & Roll Science
Softube's reputation for producing tools that improve workflow and offer the highest quality sound is rock solid—and long. They have forged strong partnerships with premium brands like Tube-Tech, Weiss, Chandler Limited, and Marshall. Partnerships that have lasted twenty years.
This is the legacy Bus Processor is built on. One of creativity, passion, and attention to detail. To create tools that innovate, you have to have heart, soul, and Rock & Roll Science.
Highly Requested
The design of the Bus Processor compressor section draws on a classic, large-format console bus compressor from the 1980s. A unit that is still at the top of the industry to this day. This section gives you total control of super clean or musically-colored sound and gain reduction behavior. With it, you can go from ultra-transparent to smooth, luxe, rich sound that flawlessly fits your source. Control the behavior of the gain reduction with the sidechain section, and you can glue things together with sustained clarity.
More Than Expected
The compressor may be the hero, but Bus Processor is greater than the sum of its parts. Saturation that includes an emphasis filter and can be set pre- or post-compression. An advanced sidechain section for both the compression and saturation circuits. Spatialization with an air filter, stereo widening, a mono bass filter, and more take you beyond compression to full bus processing. For any bus. From routing folders and stem buses to the mix bus. With Bus Processor, you can skip piling on the plug-ins in favor of a sleek solution for smooth-sounding bus processing.
Features
A modern bus compressor and saturator that glues your mix together
Takes sounds from clean to colorful without the loss of clarity
Provides finish and polish even with conservative settings
For use on all bus processing—from stem buses to the mix bus
Featuring compression, saturation, sidechain, spatialization with an air filter, stereo widening, a mono bass filter, and more
Total control of complex processes and advanced features with an intuitive, easy-to-use layout
In Console 1, use the compressor in the compressor section and the saturator in the output drive section
System Requirements
Mac OS X 10.13 up to OS 12 (older OS versions will not work) (64-bit only).
Windows 10 (older Windows versions may work but are not tested) (Windows 11 Pending) (64-bit only).
Mac: Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 / Xeon - Full Apple silicon support (M1 or higher).
Windows: Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 / Xeon / AMD Quad-Core or newer.
Screen resolution 1280x800 or larger.
Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo.
8 GB RAM or more is recommended, as well as at least 8 GB hard disk space for installation (individual plug-ins take less space, while sample libraries may require additional disk space).
A Softube account is required to register and install the software.
An iLok account is required for authorisation of the software.
Internet access for downloading installer and managing licenses.
iLok generation 2 and up, if you intend to use a physical iLok dongle for authorizing your plug-ins (note that an iLok dongle is not a requirement).
In theory, any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work.
The most recent maintenance release of the DAW application is recommended.
However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs - and Softube's own rigorous testing standards - Softube only officially test their plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Live, Studio One, Digital Performer, Reaper and Sonar. Softube plugins are not tested in the non-listed systems, but they most likely work as long as the system requirements are met.
Important note: make sure that you always use the latest iLok License Manager. It is not included in the Softube installer but can be downloaded from www.ilok.com

SSL SubGen Synth by Solid State Logic SSL SubGen is a high-quality sub-bass harmonic synthesizer with support up to 4 independently configurable bands, generating frequencies an octave lower than the source signal - perfect for adding power and thump to snares, kicks and bass. Whether you’re looking to rebuild bass frequencies in thin-sounding or poorly recorded kick and bass guitar tracks or generate LFE content for a film mix or sound design project, SubGen provides an intuitive interface to quickly generate rumble and sub-bass.
Aside from sounding super musical – with a sub-bass generation algorithm that blends naturally with your source instrument – SubGen provides an incredibly easy-to-use interactive interface for controlling the gain, width and frequency for each band as well as workflow enhancements such as per-band solo-ing options, mix lock, and built-in contextual help.
Use the 3 tailored saturation modes (“pre”, “kick” and “bass”) alongside the gain-compensated drive control to easily dial in harmonic character for different sources. Control your sub-bass dynamics using the compressor module. The intuitive all-in-one mix allows you to blend any combination of your wet and dry signals from a single parameter, as well as dial in parallel compression and punch.
Need to tame your sub-bass? Dial in the gentle low- and high-pass filters to control the generated bass or cut unwanted high frequencies and tidy up your mix.
