Softube Flow Mastering Suite
What Softube Flow Mastering Suite is
Softube Flow Mastering Suite combines more than 20 mastering plug-ins in a workflow for finishing tracks. It includes 13 built-in Flows with macros, contextual information, and visualizations. Users can customize these Flows and create their own User Signal Chains, although the FAQ says users cannot create multi-parameter macros. The included plug-ins can also be used separately in a DAW as VST, VST3, AU, or AAX plug-ins. The suite supports stereo processing and the ITU-R BS.1770 and EBU R128 loudness standards. Reference-track comparisons include frequency and LUFS visualizations, and loudness and dynamic-range meters track continuously in real time. The subscription costs €14.99 a month after a 14-day free trial. Subscribers earn credits that can be used to buy perpetual licenses of included plug-ins, and can keep purchased products and credits after cancellation. After cancellation, a Flow remains usable in the Flow plug-in only if the user owns perpetual licenses for every plug-in in that Flow. Flow Mastering Suite cannot be controlled by Console 1, though its plug-ins can be loaded in the Console 1 Mixing System to build channel strips. It runs on Windows and macOS.
