Big Mixing Power in a Small Footprint
Console 1 Compact delivers big studio sound and an analog mixing experience in a compact control surface. Its 34 buttons and 16 touch-sensitive Analog Feel potentiometers enable you to get hands on with your plugins, as well as set levels, adjust pan, mute and solo tracks, deploy sends, and select tracks, with zero mouse clicking. You also get a high-resolution screen that displays EQ and compressor curves, VU metering, and track information. Console 1 Compact comes with Softube’s Core Mixing Suite, which includes the company’s Tape, FET Compressor Mk II, and Bus Processor effects — and more — all organized into dedicated Tape/Preamp, Filter, Shape, Equalizer, Compressor, and Drive sections on the control surface. Console 1 Compact also includes VESA mounting options and a premium anodized aluminum top with injection-molded smooth sides and back. Bring big studio sound to your Console 1–based mixing workflow with Softube's Console 1 Compact.

Satisfying hands-on control
Grabbing hold of one of Console 1 Compact’s Analog Feel potentiometers offers a sensation not unlike getting hands-on with expensive analog outboard gear. These 16 refined controls boast capacitive touch, allowing you to get fully immersed in the mixing experience. The engineers here at Sweetwater, especially those of us who were weaned on analog, appreciate the tactile gratification we get from working on Console 1 Compact.

True-to-life analog workflow
Modern computer-based workflows can leave engineers feeling uninspired — it’s not much different than using any other type of software. Console 1 Compact offers the perfect antidote for engineers feeling trapped by a keyboard and mouse. For starters, its capacitive-touch potentiometers mimic the way analog gear works, putting hands-on control over your DAW and plugins at your fingertips. Add to that a high-resolution screen, and you’ll no longer have any reason to click your mouse or stare at your computer screen. Rather, you’ll be able to grab knobs and let your ears decide how to approach your mix.
