by Frank Filipetti As an engineer/producer I am constantly amazed by the sheer number of new (and vintage) equipment available to us. And yet, more often than not, I find myself returning to those few trusted pieces of gear that in a certain sense define our individual sound. One of those pieces that I would never want to be without is my Tube-Tech CL 1B. Sometime in the mid 80’s, I was contacted by John Petersen and offered a chance to play with a prototype of their first compressor – the CL 1A.
Overview & parameters Enhanced VU-meter function: Pressing in the lower left side of the meter allows you to change between three meter states. L: R: L+R: Meter indicates left channel only Meter indicates right channel only Meter indicates both left and right channels 7 - Attack The attack control determines how fast the compressor responds to an increase of the input signal. The attack control is continuously variable from 0.5 to 300 milliseconds.
10 - Sidechain Link The Sidechain Link function is relevant only when CL 1B is used on a stereo audio file. In Left+Right mode it creates a dynamic master/slave relation between right and left channels, allowing the channel where most compression is applied to also control the compression amount of the other channel. This is similar to the sidechain functionality you have available when connecting two hardware CL 1B (mono) units for the purpose of processing in stereo.
Windows preset paths: Factory presets: C:\Program Files\Tube-Tech\CL 1B\Presets\ User presets: C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\ Tube-Tech\CL 1B\Presets\ • • To delete a preset file, simply move it to the 'Trash' or 'Recycle bin'. To create a new sub-folder that appears in the Plug-In menu, simply create a new folder in the Plug-In folder that resides in the PRESETS folder of the CL 1B default preset location.
