As the title says

https://www.softube.com/products/free

I believe even it being free, you'll need an iLok account for the license anyway.

It's a nice compressor anyway. I had to pay for it

iLok is always a no-go.

iLok has always worked fine for me... not using a dongle, just cloud/PC authentication

Its actually a very good compressor, a lot of character (DBX160?), very generous.

This is definitely a nice plugin. Already have it from the bundle. It's got a very nice 'drive' feature that sounds pleasant on almost anything, even if you don't want to use the compression itself. Lovely plugin!

Glad this was posted in another thread as well, caught it last night. Getting 2 or 3 Softube emails per day, but they won’t send one for giving away a plugin for free. I like Softube, but this is disappointing, like they are trying to keep it quiet, maybe they’ll still send one…nice of them to give it away though.

I’ve wanted the Icons collection as well but only updated FET on a good sale so far, so adding this for free is great, used it a bit today and am liking it.

I was getting lots of emails too, then I bought Model 82 on the $19 sale*, and the emails stopped. So they have some strange practices, or a bad marketing platform.

*Gotta love when the plugin costs less than the transfer fee.

That's a nice plugin, has cool punch and kinda draggy release in the medium-to-fast range.
But why they had to make attack and release knobs so small? It's nice that the GUI is resizeable, but if I enlarge it so the attack and release are comfortable, the plugin takes half of my screen. And I'm complaining because here attack and release settings affect the tone very dramatically.

What does the “Punch” switch do?
Switch between hard and soft knee?
