This can be used to apply a lovely saturation regardless of whether or not the plug‑in is compressing the audio signal. It’s handy to have all of this functionality present alongside the compressor, but the main attraction is the CompSat section. The first stage of the Mike‑E Comp plug‑in is the mic preamp, which allows you to add up to 18dB of gain and there’s also an 80Hz high‑pass filter and a polarity inversion switch. The compressor does everything I’d expect of a Distressor. Owners of Softube’s Console 1 can also buy the Empirical Labs Track Pak, which puts everything here into a convenient channel strip.

The Mike‑E hardware is a channel strip comprising a mic preamp and a saturator/compressor based on the company’s famous Distressor, while the less well‑known Lil FrEQ is, as its name suggests, largely an EQ but it also features a de‑esser/high‑frequency limiter.īoth plug‑ins are available individually but are slightly cheaper if bought as a bundle, and they come in the usual Mac and Windows formats. Mike‑E Comp and Lil FrEQ are both emulations of their hardware namesakes. Softube’s new Empirical Labs Complete Collection, which is a collaboration with Empirical Labs, aims to pack the sound and features of two of the latter’s classic hardware units into plug‑ins.
Softube's Mike‑E Comp (top) and Lil FrEQ plug-ins offer beautiful emulations of the Empirical Labs hardware.Ĭreated in partnership with Empirical Labs, these two emulations form a characterful yet capable strip.
