Building on the success of Softube Console 1 was never going to be easy. But like you, we believe in ambitious dreams. To further improve the epic workflow advantages Console 1 brings, we had to ask, “where can we go next?” The answer was clear, and the result is here.

System Requirements for Console 1 Fader
Console 1 Fader is available for both Windows and Mac OS X:
- Screen resolution 1280x800 or larger.
- 8 GB RAM or more is recommended.
- 1 powered USB 2.0 compatible port.
- Softube account.
- iLok account.
- Internet access for downloading software and managing licenses.
- iLok 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).
- In 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 our own rigorous testing standards - we only officially test our plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Live, Studio One, Digital Performer, Reaper and Sonar. Softube plug-ins are not tested in the non-listed systems, but they most likely work as long as the system requirements are met. We cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems though.
Please 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).
Mac OS X specific
- Mac OS X 10.12 or newer (older OS versions may work but are not tested).
Windows specific
- 64-bit Windows 7 or newer.
- Intel Core Duo, AMD Athlon 64 X2 or newer.
