As it moved from TV and radio studios to more music-focused studios in the 60s and 70s, word got around that it had a killer sound on bass and vocals; having this awesome ability to transform weak bottom-end into fat, harmonically rich bass, and bringing voices to life. All this at the turn of one knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 pt-2 pt-lg-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts simplicity was certainly part of its appeal, and while Comp TUBE-STA has been given a few modern touches, Arturia’s engineers have been faithful to the original, powerfully simple design.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s so special about Comp TUBE-STA?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"h3 small\"\u003eThrough painstaking analysis of a 1950s original, Arturia’s audio engineers and developers were able to “measure the magic” on a component level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the same modelling technology behind the award-winning, celebrated V Collection synth compendium, the compressor was reborn as a software plugin, ready to treat your audio with that authentic vintage touch.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"prep mb-2\"\u003eRetro Americana \u003cbr\u003e\u003csmall\u003ea modern French accent\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-9 col-xxl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"h3 small\"\u003eThere’s no replacing that iconic tone of a driven vacuum tube, but in the modern era of pristine digital audio and sleek DAWs, that time-honored sound is often forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-lg-6\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Comp TUBE-STA has been reworked as a software plugin, Arturia’s engineers were also able to integrate some contemporary features that make this compressor the best of both worlds: a simple, no-nonsense, great sounding compressor that you can use with modern setups and techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 pt-2 pt-lg-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top panel of the interface gives you access to all of the original controls.

Input-output Link\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than the now standard “threshold” parameter, the original hardware compressor made you crank the input to engage the effect. This will obviously give you volume boosts and alter levels in your mix, but you can simply hit the “link” button to keep volume levelled as you boost the input, so you get compressed sound with steady volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-sm-6 col-lg-4 pt-4\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"prep mb-2\"\u003e02.
