I really love what Kiive is doing with compression & this 1 is great. I bought Complex 670 & used it on drum bus on a song I mixed. The drummer on the record called me & said my drums never sound this amazing!
I think its no contest. The Kiive holds up unbelievably close to the hardware, in my experience. The softube is way too aggressive. Theres a new mod to the Kiive which emulates the Lundahal transformer sheen. Also, when pushing the makeup gain (the "gain" knob on the kiive) it adds a lot of color. Color which tends to make the signal a lot louder, at the same peak level. It reminds me of hardware incredible ability to get perceived loudness while not increasing peak level
It's great to have an alternative to the softtube for this compressor, as they have had the price really high on this one for a long time.

Wow had the same experience! The drummer asked me to mix on his solo project. Kiive has excellent compression 😁
@@VinceJackson1 is it me or you had the same experience as yourself ?

Yes! I think the Kiive sounds fuller, like it has more body in the low end. I love how it sounds, compares to the others.
LOL. I started informing about tubetech 5h ago because I want to buy a CL B plugin. This video comes perfectly for finding a decision. Thanks!!!! ☀️♥️
what did you buy ?
@ I’ve downloaded both and then I chose the softube one.
this is a no brainer Kiive Softube
The KC-1 is insane. Kive be making genius tools, and they are located just beside me house. Bruh
Spot on as always
I agree with your verdict.
Could you also use something like Supervision, to visually see the difference between the plugins? I think that would be useful.
The Softube is just perfect, I do prefer the first version though
Thanks !
nicely done sir!
kiivee is amazing for its price...people who work there are very nice and don't over charge their plugins
Thank you kindly!
I tried the Kiive version but I prefer the Softube version and I prefer the Acustica Audio Titan 3 version more than the Kiive version
did you buy a separate 200TB hard drive to install acustica plugins ? 😂
For me the Kiive has a broader range of possibilities. Which is good, 'cos I've gone off Softtube since their last ad. And am broke!
so is the threshold doing anything on the kc1? lmao
haha it does ;-)
Kiive
Oh that's easy, Softube.
