What is interesting is that if is looks better, it actually sounds better to us, although it sounds just the same as it ever did. Lots of consumer psychology going on, they need to sell to survive. Now they are repacked, with different looks, and suddenly they “sound amazing”. But nobody used them, because they “sounded awful”. Everybody is amazed about the new channel strip, but you are forgetting that those exactly the same plugins were present in Cubase since long ago. If it looks like SSL, we are tricked into believing that is sounds like SSL. And opinion of some is that Reason SSL sounds nothing like real SSL. Like reason sl4000 emulation.Īre you sure reason has SSL emulation? What if it just looks like SSL, but actually it is not? Because Waves SSL uses quite a bit processing, and I cannot imagine having that on every channel.
PRO OPINIONS ON SLATE VCC PRO
The mixer plugins should be like s pro analog mixer. I rather choose fewer high quality channel strip plugins than “easy on the cpu gimmick plugins”. Or else C6 do a better job with third part plugins. I feel C7 mixers channelstrip should have a “pro quality” sound. Maybe its obvious that Slate plugins do a better job simulate tape saturation. Slate uses the iLok2 so that might put some people off to start, but I’d try out the demo version to see if it fulfills your expectations. I wouldn’t suggest a beginner to start their plugin collection with these, because they might wonder what they just spent their bucks on. I really like what the VTM does, but again as others have said it is subtle. The idea with the Slate stuff is to have VTM and VCC on every channel including your mix buss to emulate a summing mix that you might do with “real” gear. That is the magic zone along with some suble buss compression you can get that “glue” happening in the overall mix. Mics with tubes or FET circuitry and preamps with rows of tubes and power supplies the size of small dogs tend to just make everything sound bigger. You can push the virtual tape to get “tape compression” but not really distorted. The vast majority of producers, engineers, artists, and audio gurus will agree, for most genres, analog sounds better. The Slate plugin sounds pretty much like high quality pro tape. The Steinberg plug warms, fattens and distorts which certainly is useful, but I’d be more likely to use it on one instrument than on a whole mix. It isn’t just manipulating the signal in one way - it is dynamic. I’m not saying the Steinberg plug is bad or anything it is just that the Slate just seems more like a “process” rather than an “effect”. They sound totally different from each other that is for sure. Well I don’t think you can compare the tape saturation plug in the strip to the Slate plugs.
