PG Tube Compressor
PG Tube Compressor is a VST audio plugin from Positivegrid that models vintage tube compressor hardware, designed for use in digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Studio One, and other VST-compatible hosts. It provides dynamics processing with the colour and character of classic tube-based compression, allowing producers and engineers to shape tone and control dynamics during music production, mixing and mastering workflows.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPG Tube Compressor is a plugin component, not a standalone application — it runs inside your DAW and is updated through Positivegrid's own plugin management or installer, not through the App Store or generic download. To get a native Apple Silicon build (if available), visit positivegrid.com and check for a native VST3 or Universal Binary version, or use Positivegrid's plugin manager if you have one installed. If you are using the plugin on an Intel-only build under Rosetta 2, be aware that Apple is removing Rosetta from macOS 28 in September 2028, so you will need a native version of both the plugin and your host DAW by that date. Contact Positivegrid directly or check their plugin compatibility page to confirm whether PG Tube Compressor ships with native Apple Silicon support; if not, ask them for a timeline — many plugin vendors are actively rolling out native builds across their catalogues ahead of the Rosetta 2 deadline.
