The Blue Tubes Analog TrackBox is not an update or a
replacement for our very popular Blue Tubes Bundle
but complementary unit that incorporates a
substantially different combination of elements. The
Blue Tubes Analog TrackBox is an all-purpose channel
strip tool designed with the ultimate in sound
quality and audio character for maximum musical
flexibility.

The Tube-Emulator section has the unique option of
being able to switch between two different sounding
tube options from Single-Triode to Dual-Triode. The
independent Amount and Color controls permit
overdrive of the Tube-Emulator stage to vary the
harmonic content of the signal.

The Gate/Expander section tames the noise floor so
that you hear only the audio you want to keep. This
fully-adjustable gate/expander reduces (or cuts) the
signal if the level becomes too low (as determined by
the Gate Threshold setting). This controls unwanted
background noise on the track(s). Like a compressor
the Attack and Release controls determine how fast
the gate opens and closes.

The Compressor section derived from our popular Blue
Tubes Compressor CP2S emulates analog compressors in
terms of looks functions and warm analog sound
found in vintage compressors to provide the classic
feedback response unique to the characteristics of
the Blue Tubes Analog TrackBox.

The Equalizer section derived from the Blue Tubes
PEQ322 is designed to meet the most demanding studio
tracks features 2 parametric bands with center
frequency bandwidth-Q and amplitude controls as well
as low-shelf and high-shelf filters. The Equalizer
section delivers the controls and the amazing results
of a true analog EQ.

The new Blue Tubes Analog TrackBox is the latest
addition to the Blue Tubes Plug-ins range and
combines all the best elements of the Tube Emulator
CP2S compressor and PEQ332 parametric equaliser to
create a truly flexible and spectacular sounding
valve front end for any audio system.
