Smaolab has released a new plugin called YamaTube, a dynamic tube compressor plugin for macOS, Windows and Linux in VST2, VST3, LV2, and AU plugin formats.
YamaTube offers a modern emulation of the famous Peter Baxandall equalizer combined with a special analog tubes circuit. Smaolab says it makes tracks sound richer, bigger and punchier.
There are two versions: Free and Pro.
Pro version features:
- Increase sound details with a special 4 bands shelves equalizer (Presence, Lo-Air, Edge, Brilliance).
- Color your mix using 2 analog tubes (sweet to saturation) combined in parallel.
- Preserve overall details & punch without adding distortion artefacts (Automatic Soft Limiter) while increasing overall sound level.
- Amplify the output post limiter (Make Up) close to 0 dB, very useful to maximize loudness.
- High Sound definition (oversampling x8).
- Around 20 pre-defined presets included.
Intro Price: $20 on the KVR Marketplace (Reg. $28).
Free version features: Small is bigger:
- 2 fixed shelve equalizer bands (Edge, Brilliance).
- 2 different vacuum tubes (TaraTube) combined in parallel to color your mix (Sweet to Saturation).
- Oversampling x4.
- No Limiter.
- No pre-defined presets.
Both versions are fully functional and supported.
