NI's Premium Tube Series Plugins





Native Instruments (in collaboration with Softube) has announced their Premium Tube Series plugins which consists of a Passive Eq, Enhanced Eq and Vari Comp. Check out the videos and audio demos in NI's newsletter below. Download demos of the Passive Eq plugin here. The Vari Comp here and the Enhanced Eq here. (Demos freeze after 30 mins of use). I downloaded the demos and did a quick comparison with NI's Passive Eq and UA's Massive Passive Eq plugins. I found them to be similiar with NI's being slightly smoother on top but UA's having more girth.



PRO SOUND IN THE BOX


The PREMIUM TUBE SERIES evokes the high-end sound of sought-after outboard gear, hauled into the present day and into your computer for boutique sound plus ultimate ease-of-use. PASSIVE EQ, VARI COMP and ENHANCED EQ deliver rich, musical sound enhancement, intricately modeled by the experts at Softube. Get the secret weapons of the top studio engineers completely within the box. And, for the first time, as native plugins. Prices start at $79 / 69 €, a special bundle offer is also available.

Waves NS1 Noise Suppressor


Waves NS1 Noise Suppressor has to be one of the simplest noise suppression plugins I've encountered. Take a look at the demo to see how well it works and the ease of use. Better yet download the demo and give it a try. (Note: Waves V9 is required to install the NS1.)

 

Waves
The most intuitive professional noise suppression plugin ever created, Waves NS1 Noise Suppressor intelligently differentiates between dialog and unwanted noise.
Perfect for post production, audio forensics and musical applications alike, NS1 instantly analyzes and adapts to your signal in real-time, bringing the foreground into focus as it eliminates unnecessary background noise. Controlled by a simple single fader, NS1 also features an attenuation meter which shows you just how much overall energy is being removed from your input signal.
With NS1, noise suppression is as easy as fading away.
  • Automatic adaptive real-time noise suppression
  • Intuitive one-fader control
  • Ideal for dialog, voiceovers, broadcast, music and more
  • SoundGrid® and MultiRack Native compatible
    
NS1 Noise Suppressor is available separately as well as in Waves Mercury, SoundGrid® Pro and SoundGrid® SD7 Pro bundles.
