Smaolab releases YamaTube - Dynamic Tube Processor

Smaolab has released a new plugin called YamaTube, a dynamic tube compressor plugin for macOS, Windows and Linux in VST2, VST3, LV2, and AU plugin formats.

YamaTube offers a modern emulation of the famous Peter Baxandall equalizer combined with a special analog tubes circuit. Smaolab says it makes tracks sound richer, bigger and punchier.

There are two versions: Free and Pro.

Pro version features:

• Increase sound details with a special 4 bands shelves equalizer (Presence, Lo-Air, Edge, Brilliance).
• Color your mix using 2 analog tubes (sweet to saturation) combined in parallel.
• Preserve overall details & punch without adding distortion artefacts (Automatic Soft Limiter) while increasing overall sound level.
• Amplify the output post limiter (Make Up) close to 0 dB, very useful to maximize loudness.
• High Sound definition (oversampling x8).
• Around 20 pre-defined presets included.

Intro Price: $20 on the KVR Marketplace (Reg. $28).

Free version features: Small is bigger:

• 2 fixed shelve equalizer bands (Edge, Brilliance).
• 2 different vacuum tubes (TaraTube) combined in parallel to color your mix (Sweet to Saturation).
• Oversampling x4.
• No Limiter.
• No pre-defined presets.

Both versions are fully functional and supported.
