Slate Digital VMR
HI , i am an experienced musician but a relative novice when it comes to Pro Tools. I have been looking into Slate digital's VMR plugin software but i am am not savvy enough to know if this is the right move. Can anyone please let me know if this is a worthwhile product to incorporate into my system or are the Plugins that come with PT just as good ? Cheers, GJM

Re: Slate Digital VMR
PT plugins do the job but dont really add colour or analog emulations like UAor Slate etc
What PT version do you use as it is somewhat important.

Re: Slate Digital VMR
Great so not Pro Tools first right? The free version then. The reason I asked is that PT First is limited to non 3rd party plugins and only plugins bought from Avid store so thats why since Slate wouldnt have opened in the free PTF version.
If I were you I would demo a few different options like Slate WMR and some PluginAlliance and maybe some KUSH Audio etc and listen to the difference in sound and pick the ones that sounds good to your music and ears as there are thousands of emulations of say a 1176/LA2-A and so on so best way to make sure would be to demo some compressors and EQs and put the equivalent Avid plugins on the same track and mute and unmute the plugins to get a better feel for the different tonal capabilities before you buy. Slate has the Everything Bundle where you get A LOT of good stuff like vocal/guitar/bass stuff and a few really great sounding Synth instruments etc and i think we pay 14-15 dollars a month and get all them and Great tutorial videos from big name producers and mixers and you learn a lot from them by seeing them using the same bundle and you can download the sessions free included and follow along and making your own tweaks so new ones added all the time aswell as all new additional new plugins are included in the Bundle subscription. My opinion of course and all I can say is we use more analog hardware and UA plugins but we do use our Slate bundle quite often too.

Re: Slate Digital VMR
Thanks Christopher, that info is much appreciated. I reckon it would be easy to fall into the trap of assuming that more plugins/software will only make things better and its not always the case so im trying not to just dive in. I will try and demo some stuff as you suggest and see how it goes. Once again, thanks for your help , Cheers, George
