The best thing about this new update is that it is FREE to all Everything Bundle subscribers and Slate Digital plug-in owners. Over Sampling is not a "fix all" or "makes is better" button. However, Over Sampling will increase latency and load to your host computer so use this only when needed. This can be used at lower sample rates if you are getting unwanted distortion from some of the saturation plug-ins.

The final big feature is a new Over Sampling option. The browser has been made faster with a new search function for presets and load times of the VMR are much improved. Some of the vintage EQ's have had work to make them a little less noisy and "vintage" sounding. There have also been a number of sonic updates to some of the VMR rack modules. Often we try things that lead us down the wrong path and these buttons are going to help us back-up from this. Next to the Slate logo there are now Undo and Redo buttons so if make a mistake or someone messes with your mix you can quickly get back to where you were. There is now a new Clear button to instantly remove all modules from the VRM. It would appear that many the new tweaks and features in VMR 2.0 are the sort of thing that comes from user requests and a little time using VMR in a real-world mix. Using drag and drop the order of the Dream Strips can be quickly changed so as you refine your mix process you can make sure your most used VRM configuration is always the default. You are given 7 factory set Dream Strips but you can remove or edit these as you wish but the most you can have at one time is 8. This will load automatically when you instantiate a new VMR in your DAW. VMR 2.0ĭream Strips are 8 fully loaded completely user definable VMR configurations that appear as buttons just above the left set of the VMR rack section. Version 2.0 adds a number of tweaks to the already very popular VMR system but the main feature is something called Dream Strips, a quick and easy way to populate your VMR from the moment you open it up. Last, we added an entirely unique second circuit path that provides and additional smooth and rich tone.The team at Slate Digital have just announced an update to the Virtual Mix Rack or VMR. The famous transformer from the British Class A Console! This adds a beautiful warmth and sheen to the compressor. But then, we added an optimal transformer inout. First, we gave it variable attack and release with increased range which added more tonal options. The FG-401 started as a recreation of the classic british console channel compressor, but morphed into quite a lot more. The FG-116 sounds great on everything like lead vocals, drums, and bass guitars. They’ve captured every nuance of this classic sounding compressor/limiter! From its trademark timing characteristics to the extremely musical sound of its transformer, the FG-116 will give engineers the musical and fat tone that has made the hardware so famous. The FG-116 is the most precise digital replication of the classic American FET limiter. It is great for surgical cutting strokes, or wide bell and shelf strokes for making drums and guitars punch out of the speakers. This is the ultimate workhorse mix eq that can be used on any track. This equalizer also has rich harmonics and interactive mid bands with a fat musical tone. The FG-S is a digital recreation of one of the most famous British console equalizers from the 80’s.

It sounds great on everything from drums to vocals, and can even add the perfect saturation to synth and electronic tracks. The original model only contained one mid band, so we thought it would be nice to double it so that it has two mid bands. All aspects of the circuit are modeled, including the rich harmonics and saturations that naturally occur when the equalizer is in use. The FG-N is a digital recreation of one of the most classic discrete Class A British equalizers from the 70’s. Virtual Mix Rack Features FG-N ‘BRIT-N’ EQ Audition signal chains faster, easier, and in real time with the Slate ‘VMR’. Moving modules around is easy, fast, and creates no break in audio playback. Chain an EQ before or after your compressor. Mix and match filters from different EQs. This allows you customize your own channel strip, with signal flow following the modules, in any order you choose.
