Softube Drawmer S73 vs Drawmer 1973: Which Multiband Dynamics Plug-in Should You Choose?
Softube Drawmer S73 and Drawmer 1973: A Review of Two Multiband Dynamics Plug-ins
Introduction
Multiband dynamics plug-ins are powerful tools for mastering audio. They allow you to compress, limit, expand, or gate different frequency bands of your mix separately, giving you more control over the dynamics and tonal balance of your sound. They can help you make your mixes louder, wider, clearer, smoother, or more punchy, depending on your goals and preferences.

However, multiband dynamics plug-ins can also be complex and intimidating to use. They require a lot of knowledge and skill to set up correctly and avoid unwanted artifacts or side effects. They can also create more problems than they solve if you overdo them or misuse them.
This is why Softube, a Swedish company known for creating accurate models of analogue studio hardware, has developed two multiband dynamics plug-ins based on Drawmer's 1973 hardware unit. The first one is called Softube Drawmer S73 Intelligent Master Processor (IMP), which simplifies the compression process by using presets and styles that automatically adjust the parameters for you. The second one is called Softube Drawmer 1973 Multi-Band Compressor, which offers more control and versatility over the compression process by using independent bands and controls.
In this article, we will review both plug-ins in detail, comparing their features, benefits, drawbacks, sound quality, ease of use, flexibility, price, strengths, weaknesses, target users, tips, recommendations. We will also provide some audio examples to demonstrate how they sound on different types of audio material.
