I like the concept of the pro-channel, but much prefer this idea which is sort of a lunchbox style interface. Would be cool of other plugins supported the "format" so you could pull up virtual racks of effects chains...

I've stated this before, much to many's chagrin....
The ProChannel is nothing more then a "glorfied" FX bin preceding the regular FX bin...
It's a VST FX Bin with a "proprietary" interface format....nothing more...nothing less...it's not some miraculous
"Thing". If there were 2 FX bins you'd have the same thing...one in on top of the other.
Is it a good idea...YES...I like being able to see the interface without "clicking" to open it.
Is it anything more then then Slates VMR? Nope....All VMR is is a VST Container in a proprietary format.
These things aren't "miracles" their just ways to make money...end of story...bye bye...
Cakewalk has SEVERELY missed the boat with the PC. WHY? Because they should have
been putting out "PC Modules" like popcorn (or BECAN), but didn't.
They missed a LOT of sales opportunities when this was introduced by not being ready to "flood the market" with their "proprietary" format plugins. Obviously not a lot of vendors saw the "need" to adapt to this.
We have some SofTube PC Products and some Overloud Products. That's all.
Here's to hoping someone wakes up...
Ok, you can throw rocks now...

How could would it be to see a "lunch box" format that is a standard, but optional interface for plugins. So you could open a plugin for the full interface, or open your rack and see a version optimized for the lunch box format.

That's basically what the PC IS...
You can collapse them, remove them (except the QC - unless you have Duckbar)
and move them around...it basically IS that...

Nomad's Magma is another example of this. Quite good.

oooooh, that Magma is a pretty thing! Me likey! It makes sense - a standard interface with the ability to fly out or expand the developers custom interface. VST4.

Just when I swore off buying any more plugins. Dang. It looks great. I'll be glad to give it a demo. I have to admit that things do sound better using Slate stuff.

I hear that....what's up with the 10,000 SLL's and Pulteq's? BTW...these CAN'T be as good as IK's....because IK's cost $150 each...so they've GOT to be better...IJS...just ask Obi !

I'm tempted to get these to record through as they are reported to have zero latency. I have the Ik and waves scheps and both have latency. I can get the uad version for 99. Not sure hot many I need!

hmmm, I really like the Slate stuff. While I have Waves SLL and IK SLL (like them both), I am not so fond of the Waves V series I have and didn't bite on the Schepps, so the Neve is compelling. Is the VCA based on the Fairchild? I have the Puig-Child for that. However, I don't think I have a good FET version (unless it's called something else in my arsenal). I could spend $99 for the FET at AudioDeluxe on sale here ( http://audiodeluxe.com/products/softube-fet-compressor?mc_cid=e35b32ca21&mc_eid=58a9b8091e) or $146 and get the FET and the Neve in the Slate stuff... decisions, decisions...

Slates VBC has the FG-MU is based on the Fairchild 670... and that comes with the LA (FG-Red) and the 4000 (FG-Grey) all for $83.99 in the JRRShop "Blowout" section... Just an alternative...

woah, great memory bapu! :) I do have VBC, so I guess the FET is the only real gain with adding this new set of plugs. Thanks for pointing this out Larry - this is no longer tugging at my wallet!

So, a little more research and I find the "FET" compressor is based on the 1176, which I have with the Waves CLA and the IK Black. so yeah, nothing to see here... I wonder though, if we own the VBC will we'll get a version of those cross-over plugins in this rack interface at no charge...?
