Description
Weiss Complete Collection by Softube β Windows Only
For mastering engineers and producers who need the transparency and precision of Weiss Engineering hardware without the rack space, the Weiss Complete Collection delivers all seven Weiss plugins that Softube modeled in a single Windows bundle.
Weiss Engineering hardware has been the standard in highβend mastering facilities for decades. The DS1βMK3, in particular, appears on the mastering chain of countless major label releases. Softube created these models in direct collaboration with Weiss Engineering, targeting the exact circuit behavior of the hardware rather than approximating the sound from the outside.
Important: This bundle runs on Windows only. It does not work on macOS.

Why These Models Sound Authentic
Softube didn’t just sample the hardware; they modeled the actual circuits in collaboration with Weiss Engineering. That means the plugins behave like the hardware, with the same tonal character, dynamic response, and processing nuance. For example, the DS1βMK3 plugin gives you the same combination of transparent dynamics control and precise deβessing that made the hardware unit a goβto for mastering engineers.
The collection supports VST2, VST3, and AAX formats on Windows. It works with Pro Tools, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, and any other 64βbit Windows DAW that accepts those plugin formats. The Weiss Gambit Series for Console 1 requires Softube’s Console 1 hardware controller for full functionality; the other six plugins work as standard DAW plugins without additional hardware.
