Product Description

Despite the digital revolution in the audio industry, many of today's top commercial albums are still mixed on analog consoles. Audio engineers rely on analog mixing to provide the nonlinear musical qualities that digital mixing does not produce.

The Slate Digital Virtual Console Collection brings the sound of five of the world's top analog consoles into your DAW workstation. The consoles were studied inside and out and their entire circuit paths were meticulously modeled.  The plugins will recreate every subtle nuance that makes the audio desks the legends that they are.

The Virtual Console Collection consists of two plugins, Virtual Channel and Virtual Mixbuss. Each plugin allows the user to choose from one of four modeled consoles. Virtual Channel is applied on individual mixing channels. Virtual Mixbuss is applied to the first insert of the master fader. When using the Virtual Console Collection, your DAW will instantly take on the personality of a real analog mixing desk. The imaging and depth will improve, instruments will sit better in the frequency spectrum, and mixing will become easier and more musical. You can even push the DAW faders up to find each mixer's "sweet spot"!

"When you mix through an analog desk you get this life and body to the sound that just doesn’t happen when you mix inside the workstation.  The separation and imaging from the analog summing is very apparent, especially when your track count gets high."
- Jay Baumgardner (Grammy award winning mixing engineer)


Analog Tape Machines have a SOUND.
Digital recording is now the standard for professional music production. But many engineers and musicians long for the days of analog recording, and for good reason. Big, fat, warm, deep, rich, and exciting are just some of the terms used to describe what recording onto a piece of magnetic tape sounds like. Most of all, tape is more musical.

To capture the sound of tape is to capture a living, breathing sound that dynamically reacts to the music going on to it. Slate Digital Chief Technology Officer Fabrice Gabriel utilized his electrical engineering degree as a foundation for his comprehensive study of the physical processes that occur when recording to analog tape through a tape machine. What began with science led to Fabrice’s discovery of the seemingly magical properties of tape and inspired him to create his most advanced, dynamic algorithms yet. Two industry-standard machines were precisely modeled. What followed was a year of critical listening and algorithm tweaking, with some help from the expert ears of Slate Digital CEO, Steven Slate.

The result is the Slate Digital VTM Virtual Tape Machines plugin. With models of both a 2 inch 16 track from NRG Recording, and a ½ inch 2 track machine from Howie Weinberg Mastering, the VTM will give your mixes an absolutely authentic analog vibe that will take your mixes to the next level. With added dimension, fatness, depth, and warmth, you’ll wonder how you ever mixed without it!
