    Softube - Drawmer 1973 Multi-Band Compressor

    More control, more versatility, more definition—the Drawmer 1973 plug-in lets you micro-manage the dynamics of your sound with ultimate precision. And you can do it with the unmistakable analog feel of a modern Drawmer classic.



    Make your mixes wider and louder, shoehorn a piano into a dense mix, or curb the temper of an unruly bass guitar. The Drawmer 1973 Multi-Band Compressor lets you dive into the details—analog-style.

    The Drawmer Sound and Softube Science Solution
    Carefully modelled on the original Drawmer 1973 hardware in collaboration with the Drawmer research and development team, and approved by Ivor Drawmer himself, the Drawmer 1973 plug-in brings the award-winning three-band compressor bang up to date.

    Micro-Manage Your Dynamics

    Mastering with the Drawmer 1973 gives you independent control over three frequency bands, often a miracle-cure for problem mixes. Pull out individual instruments, brighten the mix, or tighten the lows—or of course do it all! But the Drawmer 1973 is equally useful on single sound sources in a mix. Take away the boomy character of an acoustic guitar in a perfectly natural sounding manner. Control the low frequency dynamics of a bass but leave its top end alive and kicking. Or remove sharp consonant sounds from a vocal track without eliminating detail and clarity.

    The Original Drawmer Hardware and Then Some!

    Staying faithful to the look and sound of the original Drawmer 1973, we've added some extra up-to-date features to the plug-in, including Mid-Side processing and sidechain, giving even more versatile compression and dynamic control. So the Drawmer 1973 plug-in lets you play with the mid portion of a sound without affecting the rest of that frequency, or link the gain reduction to an external sound source.
    The Drawmer 1973 has a great looking GUI echoing the look of the hardware original, is CPU friendly, and comes with useful presets to kick-start the creativity, but with enough control to add your own unique touches to any mix.
    Ultra-versatile, sleek-looking, and with the sound quality of an analog classic. Designed by experts for experts: an indispensable tool for the modern studio.

    Downloaded the demo 14 day package. Installer broken, installs pugins not selected and stills looks for ilok (Pace system files).
    Presents an error screen for each plugin instance both VST and AAX. Does not give an option to install just VST or AAX. Disappointing :dunno:

    A skin for what? pretty sure you are buying a plugin that models the hardware.

    The real thing is an excellent processor that whilst I do not own, I've had the chance to use it enough to like it alot.
    I've got some Drawmer bits in my humble rack of processors and effects, If they've done a good job then it'll be a useful one for many people. They did a really decent job with the Valley People Dyna-mite

    If you bought S73 (which apparently a record number of people, for softube, did) then you can give in your S73 license for a 1973 license for the price of $99

    Softube Drawmer 1973 MB Compressor - now available

    Sweden's own Softube has released the Drawmer 1973 Multi-Band Compressor plug-in, aimed at providing "the latest" in precision compression and dynamic control. Featuring independent control over three frequency bands, it aims at allowing to fine-tune individual instruments, tame low frequencies while leaving the top end shimmering and tweak the details to get a bigger picture and wider, louder mixes. Modelled on the original hardware in collaboration with Drawmer themselves, this new plug-in adds Mid-Side processing and sidechain option - two features not present on the original unit.

    The plugin is also announced as CPU friendly, and comes with presets. Also, no USB iLok dongle is required.

    MSRP is $249, but until March 31st it is available at the introductory price of $199. As usual with Softube, a free demo is also available.

    More details at Softube's website.

    I only buy R2R or AudioUtopia, some hardware manufacture are trying hard to emulate the plugins but I tell you it doesn't sound good enough... u'r buying hardware? you're only buying an heavy metal skin at higher costs.
