PreSonus Fat Tube P1B Compressor Plug-in
The PreSonus Fat Tube P1B Compressor Plug-in is a digital download code that delivers the authentic tone of vintage optical compression in plug-in format. It is highly regarded in the music production industry for its unique characteristics among hardware units.

This compressor features program-dependent non-linear attack and release times with a soft knee, resulting in a dynamic and smooth tone that is ideal for processing vocals, strummed acoustic guitars, and other instruments with little transient information.

Unlike some compressors, the P1B Compressor Plug-in does not color the sound of your audio. Instead, it preserves the clarity of your signal while maintaining a consistent volume level.

With a wide range of parameters, including output gain threshold, wide ratio range, and sidechain filtering with a high-pass key filter, this compressor is perfect for mixing applications.

Powered by light, the Fat Tube P1B Compressor Plug-in captures the sonic imprint and character of its hardware counterpart. The optical compressor offers a unique response and tonality compared to other compressors.

The design of the P1B Compressor ensures that the input signal directly affects the output. The compression reaction and tonality are source-dependent, with the input frequency playing a role in the compression’s characteristics. This non-linearity creates non-standardized results, making each instrument and mix processed through the PreSonus Tube P1B unique.

Thanks to the optical detection path, the P1B Compressor Plug-in has a soft knee response. The soft knee, combined with the program-dependent response, allows for a smoother and more gradual transition to compression, making it perfect for audio with fewer transients.

The PreSonus Fat Tube P1B Compressor Plug-in is versatile and can be used live or in the studio. It is compatible with both your DAW host and the PreSonus StudioLive Series III mixers, allowing you to mix using high-quality plug-ins even on stage. Recording studios using StudioLive Series III mixers can also benefit from the P1B Compressor, as it lightens CPU usage by processing directly onto the digital mixer.
