Lil Tube

Instant analog tube saturation

Make Every Track Sound BIG

In the days of analog consoles, running each track in the production through channels on the desk crafted a kind of ‘rough mix,’ with a roundness and depth that made the song instantly feel like a record: fat, present, textured, and BIG.

Lil Tube delivers this experience in your DAW. Pull it up as the first insert on every channel, and you’ll hear that rich, buttery texture and sense of 3D balance on the mix. Then, push the drive knob on the part you want to bring ‘closer’ to the listener—for example the lead vocal. You’ll feel its striking intimacy right away.

Rich analog tube saturation to make every track sound warm and big
From the Waves Magma series: Analog like never before
Great for making vocals sound rich and intimate
