Heritage Audio TUBESESSOR Plugin

Classic crystal-clear opto-compression for those who want to go beyond the standards

It was late 2022 when Heritage Audio shook the pro audio world by releasing the TUBESESSOR Optical Tube compressor, our own take on the classic optical compression with a few added features, taking this classic, almost ubiquitous effect processor to a whole new level and allowing to use compression in new creative ways, almost as an instrument.

3 years later, we take this revolution to the digital world by releasing the TUBESESSOR plugin, a 2-year development effort to faithfully recreate this omni-present compression for processing critical signals where it is essential to retain all the individual character and emotion while offering a natural, transparent control.

Unique tube saturation and side-chain filtering options

OK, now that you have that transparent optical compression that is almost a must for modern music production, why not taking it to the next level? The unique TUBESESSORs Tube Saturation section perfectly recreates the hardwares creamy-sounding new-old-stock Raytheon double triode tube to punch up signals with everything from a subtle edge to a full-on tube driven fuzz. Lets just say that you havent lived until you hear what the TUBESESSOR can do with drums, guitars, and other instruments!

The addition of five internal side-chain filter settings allows for previously unheard options in the plugin realm for creating space in a mix, unmasking competing sounds and adding groove to shady tracks.

On top of that, i73 PRO owners can also benefit from the TUBESESSOR DSP version for real time processing while tracking.

The heritage audio way

Our goal is to create helpful tools to channel creativity and put the focus back on the music in music production. That is why we want to reach as many users as possible with a comprehensive and fair pricing scheme:

Therefore, all TUBESESSOR and i73 PRO hardware owners will get the TUBESESSOR plugin for free.
