I ended up getting one of these because I was so impressed by the demos on TH-cam. it is really great! Yes it is pricey. But to have a tube eq or compressor is way more money. Now you can get a real tube sound with this added on any eq or compressor plugin-It’s worth its weight in gold!
appreciate your opinion on this device and agree on your suggestions of making it more affordable too a wider home studio audience , great job keep up the good work
Thanks for hinting the firmware update about auto gain compensation! I got this new from reverb from official retailer for 700€. I use it on my master bus one pair of tubes for low end and the second pair for top end saturation and it just opens the mix like plugins can't at the moment... So for me it's perfect addition to SSL UC1 / Softube Console1 to get that kinda analog summing sound and both low end warmth and top end crispness which helps to transform digital mixes a lot faster and more effortlessly... Thanks for the video!
I bought the freqtube because it was the least expensive software controllable hardware saturator that I knew about. Other than the freqtube, I am totally in the box. I wouldn't have bought it if I had to patch it through my audio interface because I don't have available inputs. That's worth a few more bucks for me. $1000 is pricey but I see hardware controller at the $799 range and no sound goes through the unit itself. You are totally right in saying that it just depends on the buyer and their particular situation whether this is too much. I bought this with the intention that this was going to be the only outboard gear I was going to own.
There are tube saturators that cost $4000+ & they don't have recall! Its now priced at $900 & I'm going to pick it up as my next studio finance. I was ITB for many years & I'm bored with just plugins 😂

you're right the only reason why I haven't purchased this is because of the price. I love the concept but I can find 10 better ways to improve my studio for $900/$1000 dollars

Great review. I think I'll stick with plugins, lol. It looks great. the price is high... I agree with $499.99 price range
Thanks for watching
Love mine..! Think I was one of the first to buy! Have a feeling their next products will also be crazy nice and innovative
Cool. Enjoy the Freqtube
man, I would love to try this thing, but I live near a radio tower and tubes are just not doable round here. Seems like a beautiful solution.
Sorry to hear that

I would love one but i find the price 0% inviting. If i think what i could get for this money. I completely agree 400-500 range would be very tempting
Thanks for watching

Well... let's face it. Almost everything in the music industry is hype.
if you say so
FreqTube LT, rack version. Done. A million sold :)
I agree
Great idea the lite version

For my money, I'd be buying four valve compressors, which is actually what I've done.
It's an interesting idea, but for me it would be redundant.
Great. have fun with your new gear
Dave you are spot on about the price. For the pricing you could get a Phoenix Audio nicerzer.
the PA Niceerzer is way more expensive from what i saw on Sweetwater
@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Yes! at least 2,599!
LOL I will get the SPL Mark 3 over this any day the SPL will run you $1,000 too
Completely different type of product and not as flexible
Controllers are cool ...but a dedicated controller to just one plugin?!!!!
That's correct.
