Yes, but it seems that Gobbler has FINALLY got their act together... I've reamed them too many times for their stupid system...

No mention of Relab's LX480. I wonder if it's gone?
If it is, so is my monthly subscription.

And as mentioned above, probably the "annual" coupon for those that jump on board in the beginning.

Looks like their new LiquidSonics-developed reverb has LX480 impulses, so maybe they figure they didn't need the Relab anymore. Will be interesting to see whether that was a good move, sonically.
The big news to me is the Distressor plugin, which is apparently endorsed by Empirical Labs as an authentic emulation.
Cheers,

The new price is $180 per year? What a deal!
NOT.
I've got a bunch of Slate plugins, but have uninstalled all of them, until such a time as Slate decides to support PC authorization instead of forcing you on to the dongle. Bastidges. They'll not get another dime out of me until then (which I suspect will be on the 12th OF NEVER, a song definitely NOT written for The Steven).

For those of us with working iLoks (many more than those rare errant systems that will not run juan properly  ) That $180 is $15 a month to use everything he has. Not a bad deal. But, based on what I already own off of Steven's Slate (as well as Fab's De-Esser), about the only new things I might interested in is the reverb and delay and I'm pretty sure those combined would set me back more than $180 once released. Decisions, decisions.  Oh wait.... for now I can just pay the $25 I'm already paying to check out the new stuff until the end of my first "paid year" (JAN 2017 I believe) and see if ol Steven is going to honor his original "coupon" offer.

So if I'm currently using the LX480 in my mixes (which sounds great btw) I'm SOL and have to use a different reverb? When are they going to yank the Relab from us subscription subscribers?

Probably at the end of your subscription term, but you WILL get the new reverb to replace it...

My current term (m-2-m) end in 7 days. Dern that Steven.
Now if his new reverb comes on line and will (indeedlydoo) use the LX480 impulses then dang, that may be nice.

Steven said the current subscribers will continue to have the Relab as long as they stay with their plan. And you get the new reverb, too. New subscribers will NOT get the Relab, but will have to make do with the new super-fantastic game-changing LiquidSonics convo verb. :-) But that $15/month (annual subscription billed monthly) plan for new users is pretty enticing, what with all the cool stuff in there.

Lettuce hope he means it. As I've said before... I'm hoping to leave his subscription once I can have the LX480 on sale this Balck-Friday-Christmas season. Of course if his new verb does in fact use the LX480 impulses and it sounds 98% as good as the LX480, maybe I'll make that switch.

Or just wait for a good sale (Black Friday isn't that far off) and pick up Liquidsonic's Reverberate 2 for a good price. You will *not* be disappointed and you'll save some money in the bargain.

Too bad they don't offer a $10/mo for Relab only.

Exactly. Which is the $14.99 plan + $10 to continue to use the LX480. I seem to remember last year's BF/Xmas LX480 sale was $249 at PluginDiscounts. I just did not have the shekels at the time but I will this year. Then I can jump off the $24.99 plan altogether and go back to buying what I demo and like from Slate.

I can live with it for the savings for now.. And the new Slate Verb may just kill the LX480 altogether

For those of you who are using the Slate plugs, what do you like best about them? How does what is included with Sonar compare? Are the virtual consoles, EQ's, virtual tapes and saturation that much better in slate? Since I have my Red 3 comp from Focusrite, the FET from Softube and took advantge of the LA2 cakewalk deal i think I have my basic dynamic processors down so I think what I am most interested in these days is a good compressor to glue my mixes, the 15th channel on the Trident board (the Master of Puppets vocals & guitar channel) and a good meter for mixing. But, thr everything bundle intrigues me, though I don't know if I am a fan (or if my wife would be lol) of a monthly subscription.
I think if I could get pretty close with what we have in Sonar and maybe adding a plug or 2 I may be better off than an on going subscription.

The Slate plugins are top notch. They are better then
the included plugins with Sonar. Can you do the same
thing with the included plugins. Most likely, but not
with the same sonic characteristics...

I'm tempted by this. I have a few questions or concerns:
1. How are they on CPU use in general? Heavy, light, moderate?
2. How do they compare to UAD offerings? I had an Octo, but I started having on-again off-again issues with it in my latest computer and gave up on UAD and sold it, so I'm thinking it might be nice to have a top-notch plugin suite to replace it. (Price compared to UAD is pretty cheap, too. LOL)
3. I recently started mixing with Harrison Mixbus 32C and like the overall sound, so I'm kind of wondering how things would compare as far as console and tape emulations. Do you think Slate would give me something added to the arsenal?
4. I see it requires a physical iLok II. I have the software iLok for a couple of things I'm already using. Any real issues I need to prepare for if I do go with the Slate plugins an switch over to a physical iLok?

Some have had issues with iLok. I haven't myself.
The Slate Plugins are quite nice...and looking forward to the
new Reverb and others coming soon.
I quite like them myself...
