Shipping info
Control your DAW with this easy-to-use console. The Softube Console 1 Fader is the ideal device for controlling your DAW and a variety of plugins. You get all the benefits of a tactile and physical mixer without needing to purchase a dedicated mixer. It works all the major DAWs - this means it makes a great device to have your desk - and it doesn't take up a lot of space either. The main controls are the faders on the front of the device, these are motorized so as soon as you start up a session - you're good to go. If you want to bring that classic mixing feeling to your home studio then the Softube Console 1 Fader is a must-have.

DAW control made simple

If you're looking for an easy way to control the mix stage of your project then the Softube Console is the device for you. It allows you to take total control over your project and you can use it in a very flexible way - it can be used for nearly every element of your mix. You can assign the Console 1 Fader's buttons in any way you want. The unit does come pre-defined - so you can just plug it in and mix away. But any shortcut can be added to the Console - so you can use it in any way imaginable.

High quality faders

The Console 1 Fader gives you the means to mix with superb tactile feedback. The faders are motorized too, so slide right into place when you open your project. They don't just control volume, they can also be used to control drive, drive character, high cut, low cut, input gain, and sends. Making it the ultimate centrepiece for your mixing environment. This makes the workflow when using the Softube extremely fast and efficient.

Select from multiple banks

Using the simple page up/down control, you can easily jump between banks of 10 tracks or layer. Use push the button and you will be taken through your different banks. This is ideal for larger projects or for setting up plugin parameter controls.

You can also create layers of tracks - so you can easily group your drums, guitars, and strings, for example. It's really simple to create a page for different instrument groups so you can quickly flip between the different elements in your mix.

Features

The faders are not only output volume, but can be used to control the character of the track with Drive, Drive Character, High Cut, Low Cut, Input Gain and Sends

How much is my shipping?

Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.

Do you ship to my country?

Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.

Shipping methods

We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.

Dispatch times

For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.

For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.

Shipping times

Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.

There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.

Saturday shipping

If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.

Pre-orders

If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.

If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
