More info From Slate DIgital

Dear FG-X and VCC Slate Customer,
 
  
I'm back in town after a week of business traveling and I return to some good news from Fabrice who has been testing the new FG-X algo.  
Basically, he discovered a part of the level algo that was unnecessarily causing some huge CPU increases, and he was able to optimize it so the CPU spike is gone.  Our goal with the new FG-X algo is not only to make it sound even better, but also to make it far less CPU intensive. I think we'll achieve this goal.  
We could use your help too.. If you have a problematic mix that didn't agree with the FG-X, for instance some mixes will yield some minor crackles at some parts when trying to push it too loud, please send me a link to the wav file at slate@stevenslate.com and also tell me what the sample rate is. So my email client doesn't get overloaded, please don't attach the file to the email, but instead host it on a free file hosting site and include the link. 
The purpose of this is simple.. we want to ensure that the new FG-X algo is by far the best, most useful, and most transparent processor that anyone has ever heard, and confirming that it works on files that were problematic for the previous algo will help this cause.
Some other good news in VCC land: The framework for the new VCC has been tested and is working well without bugs, and I'm awaiting a prototype of the new console so that I can give it a thorough testing.
Last, we made a great hire as promised, and I'm confident this is the first of many that will help us execute more efficiently.  So I've caught up on a lot of emails but there are still a few thousand to go, and I do plan on going through all of them, so thanks for your patience and expect a reply soon.
Steven Slate
