Their Tape plugin works really well in Studio One, but I still like the UA Studer and Ampex a little more. The Summit Audio collection is pretty cool too. For processing both the American and British Class A collections are really well done. TSAR is ok, but I much prefer the UA reverbs. Stand-outs, for me, include their Fix phaser and flanger, Musitronics Mutator, and Spring Reverb. If you are going to use their plugins I'd recommend trying the ones that come with Console 1, and if you want to go further get their Volume 5 collection (or whatever it is up to now.) Only word of caution - Softube has a fairly lame approach to rewarding loyalty. furthermore Presonus Studio One 5 Professional now offers: Showpage view for drag-and-drop insertion of backings, virtual instruments & effect racks in hectic. I toyed, briefly, with the thought of adding their Fader 1, but Faderport works really well with both Studio One and Cakewalk. While not ideal, the Kore 2 does a decent job of adding knobs and buttons for synthesizers and effects processors. Then again it was built for processing, not effects, but a guy can be greedy eh? Things I don't like about Console 1, mostly that I can not use it with many of my effects plugins. And the Softube plugins are nothing to sneeze at! I'm fortunate that many of my UA plugins remain Console 1 compatible. Things I like about Console 1 include the tactile interface, and the somewhat limited choice of plugins. It is a pretty handy combination! I also use Cakewalk by Bandlab, formerly known as Sonar - I used it for 20 years, and it provides a certaln level of comfort. I use Studio One v5, a Faderport 16, an NI Kore 2, and Console 1.
