01Overview

Tube Filter adds analog-style filtering to a mix. It works alongside the Tube Shelf and Tube Bell tools and provides Low Cut and High Cut filters. The developer describes its High Cut as smooth and natural, which makes it suited to darkening a sound when needed. A Drive control adds warmth. The plugin is part of the Deep Vintage Suite and is built on Three-Body Technology's APNN 2.0 neural network.

Filter Sound and Character

Tube Filter pairs a Low Cut and a High Cut filter with a Drive control for added warmth. Three-Body Technology says its High Cut is less common in mixing than other filter types but works well for darkening a sound when necessary.

The filters are modeled with APNN 2.0, a neural network that the developer says learns from the audio input and output of analog hardware. According to the developer, this lets the plugin capture both the tonal and dynamic character of the original hardware rather than only its frequency response.

Workflow Controls and Options

The interface includes an input and output level meter, undo and redo, and A/B switching for comparing settings. Mono mode, LR/MS processing and phase invert are available for routing and stereo-field work, and the GUI can be re-scaled.

Tube Filter is a good fit for producers who already work in the Deep Vintage Suite or want a filter with analog-style warmth and low CPU load.
