Classic Tubes 3 FAQ

🛒 Where can I purchase the Classic Tubes 3 ML-1 expansion?
Classic Tubes 3 is no longer sold as a standalone product.

All ML-1 microphone expansions are now included with the Virtual Microphone System perpetual license. You can purchase it here: Virtual Microphone System

If you already own an ML-1A microphone or have an active Complete Access subscription, you already have full access to this expansion at no additional cost.

🗣️ Is Classic Tubes 3 included in Complete Access?
Yes! All ML-1 expansions are included in the Complete Access subscription.

Important: You must own an ML-1 or ML-A microphone and have the product license activated on your iLok account to use any expansions.

❌ I don't own an ML-1. Can I still purchase Classic Tubes 3?
No — you must own an ML-1 microphone and an active ML-1 iLok license. Need one? Find an authorized dealer here.

🎤 Is Classic Tubes 3 compatible with both ML-1 and ML-2?
No — Classic Tubes 3 is only compatible with the ML-1 or ML-1A microphones.

🔑 How does licensing work for Classic Tubes 3?
Classic Tubes 3 is unlocked within the "Classic Tubes" module inside Virtual Mix Rack, and can be activated on an iLok 2, iLok 3, or iLok Cloud Session.
