Something else : the compressor (FG116) is great, but it seems to “darken” the vocals, so I prefer the “reacomp” plugin which sounds cleaner and less “violent” to my taste (I find its threshold setting to be more progressive, allowing for a lighter compression – more “refined” I’d say, even if I still don’t know the FG116 that well and my opinion might change as I use it more).

Thankfully, Slate also provides a free trimmer plugin, which integrates within VMR. One of these is the violence of the sound : you soon get everything distorted, especially on the Neve EQ replica which preamp really is heavy-handed. For such a price, this pack of plugins is really great – though not exempt of faults… I’m finally satisfied with my sound, and I’m finally gonna be able to release my own record (I’m going to do everything, music, texts, arranging, recording, mixing – all except mastering). The alliance of VMR to Native Instruments (the "solid" suite and " transient master") and reaplug plugins allow me to get the sound I was after with my humble solo home studio artist level. You’d put it everywhere, so you have to take care to avoid overdosing! In the end, my virtual drums have THE sound, and I use each of my VSTis like real instruments in the mix – which works wonder. Tweaking the settings, I managed to find THE sound that comes well for each instrument, and instead of using truckloads of plugins a few ones are enough – a VMR EQ, a comp, then also Revival which contributes to carving the sound.

The concept of a rack allowing to switch the plugs’ place is pure genius and allows to work your audio chain…Īt first I was a bit surprised by the sound of the plugs – before that I only used free plugins, including the Reaplugs, plus a few paid ones such as the CLA which I soon got tired of. It’s very easy to use, provided you know what an EQ and a compressor are. Used to mix my first EP – along with other plugs, of course. My configuration : 3rd gen iCore 5 laptop with 12GB RAM + UR 242.
