The Blue Tubes Bundle V3 is a collection of 19 processing plug-ins that recreate the warm sound qualities of classic analog hardware. The plug-ins were modeled according to the strict design principles of the hardware they reproduce, while maintaining a transparency that lets the original signal shine through with just the desired amount of brilliance and character. Yet all 19 plug-ins augment their robust sound detailing with simple and functional “vintage-style” interfaces, as well as very low CPU consumption for lightening-fast processing. In keeping with their previous versions of top quality audio processing plug-ins, the Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Bundle V3 has been totally redesigned by Nomad Factory to offer even more compelling enhancements for your professional digital audio workflow.

Here is what the press has to say about Nomad Factory products.
Musicplayer.com WIHO Award
Motown Retro Bundle
"With the resurrection of the Motown sound in modern music through artists like Amy Winehouse and Raphael Saadiq we wanted to try to use these for what they are intended — put a little old-school feeling into our mixes... The sonic qualities of the plug-ins were top notch, but they especially shined in the higher frequencies. This was very apparent when working with drums. When we applied the Retrology Music-Tone to our overheads we heard a new life and brightness from cymbals that were previously flat and dull simply by running through the preset options. With a few final adjustments and the addition of the Retrology Film-Tone 's overlapping frequency bands to hone in on exactly what we wanted, we had a beautiful marriage of modern recording and classic sound."
Computer Music
Magnetic
"We were particularly impressed by the way tape colour could create pumping overheads on a drum kit and popping compression on synth bass... as a tasty analogue thickening agent, Magnetic really shines."
Sounds and Gear
Echoes
"I give Echoes 5 out of 5 subs, it’s really the best echo plug-in I’ve used in my personal opinion, fun, simple to use, and sounds great."
Computer Music
Pulse-Tec EQs
"Pulse-Tec EQs can certainly add warmth to a broad range of instruments, and those famous overlapping boost/attenuate controls can really bring the bass to life. If you're finding it hard to make an instrument gel in the mix, a few small adjustments with Pulse-Tec EQs can work wonders, and the clipper section, while not vital, is handy if you crave yet more warmth, or even a little dirt. The presets aren't too shabby either."
