Valve Filter VF-1
Valve Filter VF-1 is a VST audio plugin from Audiothing that models vintage tube/valve filter characteristics, designed for use in digital audio workstations (DAWs) and music production software on macOS. It is used by music producers, engineers and sound designers who want to add warm, saturated filtering to tracks, buses or mastering chains. As a VST plugin, it runs inside a host DAW rather than as a standalone application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionValve Filter VF-1 is a VST plugin that lives inside your DAW, not a standalone app, so it cannot be updated directly. To get a native Apple Silicon version of this plugin, you need to install it through Audiothing's plugin installer or update mechanism (visit audiothing.com for details on their current distribution method — they may use a direct installer, a plugin manager portal, or a simple drag-and-drop bundle). Once installed to the correct plugin folder on your Mac, the plugin will be loaded by any native Apple Silicon DAW you have. If you are still running an Intel-only DAW, your Audiothing plugins will continue to work under Rosetta 2 for now, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so your DAW and all its plugins must be native by then — confirm that your host DAW (Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton, Studio One, etc.) has a native Apple Silicon build before updating your plugins.
