The Slate Digital Gates Bundle is one of the most important tools in your mixing arsenal.
Virtual Console Collection users will receive a free update so mixer emulation can be added to the VMR signal chain. Access nearly infinite gating options without ever having to leave your Virtual Mix Rack workflow. Up to eight slots can be used per instance of VMR and further modules are set to be released as paid upgrades after release, including de-essers, exciters, gates and more. Modules can be added and reordered with drag-and-drop simplicity, and individual modules can be bypassed and soloed. This modelling includes the subtle harmonics, saturations, phase changes and non-linearities within each circuit, rather than just the EQ curves or compression characteristics.

It was equal to developing eight different compressor plugins with their own. Described as the most challenging development in its history, FG-Stress is Slate Digital’s take on the Empirical Labs Distressor, Dave Derr’s revered mid-90s dynamics processor.
It’s said to be ideal for vocals, and is similar to the Slate Pro Audio Dragon hardware compressor that we reviewed in July 2010 ( ).Īs always, Slate Digital are keen to emphasise that their modelling recreates the entire analogue signal path, resulting in a more analogue sound. Virtual Mix Rack feels like overkill when running a single module.
The second compressor, FG401 ‘Vintage Compressor’, is based on a model of the 1176 limiting amplifier, but with a greater degree of control and a modified output transformer characteristic. The first of the two compressors, the FG116 ‘Modern Compressor’ is a model of several VCA-based compression circuits which Slate claim is both punchy and clean. The EQs are clearly based on classic Neve and SSL console designs.
