Slate Digital Virtual Tape Machines

J'utilise ce produit dans mon home studio depuis quelques années et ce plugin me sert à donner du corps à mes prods de tous styles (pop, metal, rock, electro etc)

Cet outil me sert énormément étant donné que je mix in the box, en effet il me donne ce gras, cet appui si particulier que je cherchais et qu'il n'est pas possible d'avoir à l'EQ.

Je suis extrêmement satisfait de ce plugin, je le met sur mes bus master et mon master et ça donne vie à tous mes instruments !

Je recommande ! :)

bon son, sauf quand pousser au rouge, ou les artifacts audible non-musical sont present - mais avec attention d'eviter l'overload ce plug-in debouille tres bien. Sur tout contenu mixte [folk, blues,rock,hardtek, dnb, breakcore] j'apprecie le fonction multitrack ; bass plus coustaud, batterie plus focaliser et tight, mids present et pas aggressive, haut-aigue legerment attenuer. et un mix plus solid en 2-track.
link entre entree et make-up gain est efficace quand on cherche a colorer le son plutot que changer sa volume.
install basic et enevitable iLok2 activation necessite un connection internet, mais apres sa marche partout sans connection 'net.
Le plug mange du cpu par contre, comme un reverb lourd. Et plusieures multipistes en VTM plus le master a la fois peut nique le bandwith CPU dispo. A voir avec ton matos, mais 7 examples a la fois allourdie mon i7-6gb ddr3-3x1Tb pas mal.... il tourne aprox 2-3% usage-cpu chaque instance sur reaper, qui gere vst mieux que cubase.
Retour au son; tres satisfait en utilisation moderate pour le puissance et punch subtil mais present qu'il ajoute. Mieux , a mon avis, que les autres emulations Tape dispo chez Waves et autres. Je suis content d'avoir cet plug-in efficace.

Slate VTM is an alaogue tape emulation plugin. The concept is very simple; you get a few different tape types, speed, biases.. basically everything you would find on a real tape machine, except with all the flexibility of a digital audio plugin.
Like the VCC, VTM is a specific and simple sonic tool. It will prove invaluable when sculpting your sounds and finding places for your sounds in the soundscape. It is however an 'end-game' plugin, meaning that it can do wonders for your well-recorded and mixed material, but it won't magically turn all of your recordings into gold.
The saturation and natural compression on this plugin is exquisite. It is very natural and musical indeed. I usually find that it's at its best when used on a bus, especially for drums. It likes to 'chew' on dynamic and well produced audio. This is also when you really hear all the differences between the tape types, biases, drive amounts, and speeds.
The GUI is clear, simple, and intuitive. Highly recommended if you're in the market for a natural tape emulation plugin.

This is a superlative product. The effect of instantiating VTM across a batch of mixer channels, plus the main buss, is subtle but thoroughly discernible: the mix coheres immediately, and depending on your setting of the virtual tape speed you can take advantage of "head bump" at 15ips to get a nice bass boost. Saturation and harmonic content can be dialled in across the whole mix extremely easily, and the instances of the plug-in can be grouped and linked so that everything can be controlled with one set of knobs.

I have this running alongside the Slate Virtual Console Collection, to give the combined effect of multitrack tape running through an old valve-style console into a master 2-track. The results are gorgeous. The warmth feels far more "real" than plug-ins were managing even a few years ago; it's not an in-your-face effect, more of a gentle glue and firming up of the soundstage. Really impressive. It's not CPU light, though; you'll want to run instances across all of your DAW channels, and that means an up-to-date computer spec. But if you can run it, it's worth every penny.
