Softube Time and Tone Pack is a unique plug-in bundle (valued at $198), which includes three of Softube’s

world class plug-ins: a reverb, a delay and a distortion:

 

TSAR-1R: Add space, depth and width to your sound—TSAR-1R is a reverb plug-in with world class sound

and extreme ease of use. With a single slider, you can take TSAR-1R from realistic and three-dimensional

rooms to dramatic and dreamlike halls. 

 

Tube Delay: A tasty echo effect that can go from clean to rude by overdriving its three modeled tube stages.

Create anything from realistic room echoes to rockabilly style slapbacks—or take it all the way into dub

reggae echo madness.

 

Saturation Knob: Add grit and warmth to any sound source with this modeled output distortion unit. Use

it to fatten up bass lines, add some harmonics and shimmer to vocals, or simply destroy your drum loop.

Simply turn up the knob to add saturation, and use the three-position switch to alter the distortion character.

The Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 is an 18 in / 6 out USB 2.0 audio interface designed to make home multitrack recording a breeze. Alongside two award-winning Focusrite preamps, six high-quality analogue inputs allow you to simultaneously record guitar, bass, vocals and keys. You don’t need to stop there either – pop in the ADAT optical cable from an outboard eight-channel mic pre unit such as the Focusrite OctoPre MkII and you can track the drums at the same time.

Scarlett 18i6’s two award-winning Focusrite preamps ensure low noise and distortion, whilst cutting-edge digital conversion captures your audio with pristine quality. 16 additional inputs allow you to capture inspired takes, without having to constantly re-patch your studio. Combined with the very latest in USB interfacing technology, excellent routing flexibility and rock-solid driver stability, the Scarlett 18i6 is the heart of the modern recording studio. 

Main Features:

• Two high-quality award-winning Focusrite preamps: The best sounding interface in its class. Focusrite's 25-year legacy forms the foundation of this new interface, with two award-winning preamps.


• Total I/O count of 18 inputs and 6 outputs: All of the analogue and digital inputs you need for home multitrack recording. No need for breakout cables - every input & output has a dedicated socket.

• Scarlett MixControl ultra-low-latency DSP mixer/router: Provides an 18 x 6 DSP mixer with excellent routing flexibility, intuitive one-click configurations, and lower than 1.4ms latency (less than the time it takes sound to travel two feet through air!).
