The redesigned graphic EQ gives you visual precision like never before, while the new preset browser makes finding that perfect starting point lightning-fast. Need to locate a specific setting across your entire session? The global search function has you covered. The new Limiter window view and updated clipper and Limiter modules provide unprecedented control over your dynamics processing, and with more downloadable content and a whole lot more under the hood, STL Tones ControlHub 3.0 is built for the way modern engineers actually work.

Forget about breaking the bank on vintage compressors, preamps and processors, STL Tones ControlHub brings the complete signal chains from industry titans like Cameron Webb, Tom Lord-Alge, Neal Avron and Jeff Juliano straight to your DAW. We’re talking about precise emulations of entire hardware and software chains – not just another channel strip that sounds “close enough”.

Whether you’re tracking blistering guitar solos or polishing your final master, STL Tones ControlHub 3.0 captures every nuance of the original gear. From the subtle saturation of that legendary preamp to musical compression that makes vocals sit just right in the mix, you’re getting the real deal.

The Tracer Technology That Changes Everything

ControlHub 3.0 retains the revolutionary Tracer technology, allowing you to capture your own signal chains and share them with the global community on the Trace Exchange. Got a secret weapon combination of pedals and outboard gear that makes your guitars sing? Trace it, keep it and let other musicians around the world experience your signature sound.

This isn’t just about using presets – it’s about building a library of your own sonic fingerprints and discovering new sounds from fellow music makers worldwide.

STL Tones ControlHub 3.0 understands how you actually work. Whether you’re sculpting individual tracks, gluing your mix bus together, or adding that final master chain polish, the interface flows with your creative process rather than fighting against it. No more juggling multiple plugins or trying to remember which vintage EQ setting worked on that last project.

The platform scales with your ambition – perfect for bedroom producers crafting their first EP or seasoned engineers working on major label releases. Every STL Tones expansion pack brings authentic studio experience to your fingertips, backed by industry-leading modelling technology.

The days of endlessly tweaking parameters and second-guessing your mix decisions are over. With STL Tones ControlHub 3.0, you’re not just processing audio – you’re channelling decades of mixing expertise with every adjustment. STL Tones ControlHub 3.0 launches June 25th. Keep reading here.
