Crackling, searing, face-melting guitars. Meaty, punching bass. Rich, up-front vocals. Wide-open, airy, living electronics. If you will it, it is no dream with \u003cstrong\u003eSoftube American Class A\u003c\/strong\u003e. Based on the greatest classics of American mixing console hardware, this channel strip is fast and easy to work with, and brings a truckload of character to the party. Both an expansion to Console 1 and a standalone plug-in, American Class A has it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eAmerican Hero\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe American gear on which this strip is based is perhaps best known for the way it brings out the power and energy of modern rock music; acts such as Radiohead, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, and Pearl Jam have used similar consoles.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith a shape section featuring gate and transient designing, a stellar four-band EQ with proportional Q and range control, a fascinating compressor design which can be switched between feedback and feed forward operations, and a warm, crunchy output drive section, no modern studio is complete until this sonic option is at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003ePower and Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDrums leap out of the speakers, vocals grab you by the scruff of the neck, guitars spontaneously combust. But the American Class A is also capable of subtlety.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the range controls of the EQ to limit the gain boosting and cutting to a half or even a quarter of the starting values, it becomes a high-resolution mastering unit. And running a synth sound through these same hard-rocking controls can result in improved openness and vitality just as easily as increased grunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eGreat Sound, Great Looks, Great Experience\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe sonics are not the only area in which the American Class A is world-class. The plug-in also provides state-of-the-art visual feedback, with a large display offering FFT readouts or a waveform view in which you can see the effect your settings are having on your signal in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eConsole 1 Channel Strip Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug-in also seamlessly integrates with Console 1 as a channel strip, so if you use Console 1 you'll get the added speed and benefit of hands-on analog workflow. Don’t spend another second longing after that ideal sound. Get the American Class A today. Dream big, sound bigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMac OS X 10.12 or newer (older OS versions may work but are not tested)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows 64-bit, versions 7, 8 or 10\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIntel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 X2 or newer\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eScreen resolution 1280x800 or larger\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e8 GB RAM or more is recommended, as well as at least 8 GB hard disk space for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSoftube account\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eiLok account\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eInternet access for downloading installer and managing licenses\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eiLok generation 2 and up, if you intend to use an iLok dongle for authorizing your plug-ins (note that an iLok dongle is not a requirement)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn theory, any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs - and their 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. They cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: Softube plug-ins support 64-bit hosts only, and a 64-bit OS is required. Therefore, for example, Pro Tools 10.x is no longer supported (contact support for latest 32-bit compatible installers).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSupported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe most recent maintenance release of the DAW application is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAAX DSP is not in active development, but older products still support AAX DSP.
