Slate Virtual Preamp Collection
I'm amped! from his newsletter:
"Next, we have the new Virtual Preamp Collection ready to go to beta for testing. Thats the same preamp modules from VMS that youre gonna love to use as color, tone, and distortion effects on your mixes. It can also really add some nice flavor to any clean preamps such as those on many modern interfaces. So stay tuned for them, but here's a sneak peek:" ... "Its also no secret that weve got some Blue FET Compressors coming soon, (and yes thats plural), and these will be a great tool to add to your audio arsenal as well. And thats just the beginning. There is a lot more in the works, including some new FX additions! Fabrice has also been hard at work on the FG-X2, which we have agreed only to release when we are sure that it is the absolute most perfect loudness processor in the industry. Thats a pretty big goal, but if you know us, we kind of like big goals!"

Don't forget Steven's turkey recipe, in the same email. A for effort, C+ for execution.

Re: Slate Virtual Preamp Collection
Looking forward to buy the Virtual Mic Bundle,with a Mic and a clean preamp and all that under 1K which is a no brainer. They are gonna add more mics aswell in the future so investing $1000 in Slate and we can sell our Korby Kat 5 Mic package and be able to buy some more gear for the money we save Korby Kat anyone ?

My U47 is out the door! I see IK Multimedia just released their version of Antares Mic Mod plugin too. All kidding aside, I still use Antares Mic Mod to this day as an effect.

Re: Slate Virtual Preamp Collection
I know you didn't ask me, but I have strong feelings about Mic Mod. Strong negative feelings.
In my experience, Antares stuff as a whole is a crash-prone mess when used with Pro Tools. To the point where I own several of their products but never use them, because I'm afraid they'll crash PT. Which is too bad, Harmony Engine EVO is a really nice tool when it works. On top of that, installing mic mod is hit or miss because sometimes it will fail to recognize the mic models. I'll bet money that the Slate and IK Multimedia versions are much more stable. But if you're feeling brave, I'll sell it to you at a huge discount in a heartbeat.

Re: Slate Virtual Preamp Collection
Well that doesn't feel that great Mesaone
I hope Slate's Mic Mod kit is gonna be a hit as he has been working on that for 2 years now it feels like Regarding the IK My Mic thingy I wasn't that impressed as those demos just sounds like it ads a little EQ and brightness BUT i can be totally wrong there and they sound great by MicMod standard. I think we will wait for Slate Thanks for the input though, always good to hear what other peoples experiences are with these plugins.

Re: Slate Virtual Preamp Collection
I don't have any issues with Antares Mic Mod crashing, now Autotune is another story.
I have read the multiple posts bashing Mic Mod since it came out and I get it, it won't make an 57 sound like a U47. But, I don't use it as advertised. I think it is a great effect for adding warmth and/or saturation. For one example: If I have a vocal that thins out when the singer goes up into their higher register, I can boost the proximity effect in the thinner parts and match the warmth of tone they have when singing lower. Can be a nice bass tone shaper too, lead guitars, etc...

Re: Slate Virtual Preamp Collection
For fun I did a quick post of Mic Room and Mic Mod files over at Gearslutz. (Since the DUC doesn't upload audio). You can take a listen if you are interested.
They both sound fine for what they are. https://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-m...l#post11504726
