Slate Digital VCC - 1 Week sale

take a look at Statson and SKNote Strip buss also , I havent had any bugs with those vs my Slate and its ilok issues and cpu munching

Well, it's probably just because I own and use the VCC on all my stuff now;-) but It doesn't sound like "compression" to me.  I really like how the VCC sounds, especially driven.  But, admittedly, it is not only subtle but subjective as well.

@4:41 "It's a very hard thing to describe what it's doing".

Haha!




Disclaimer: I own the VCC.

1:  "until now if you were looking for the sound of a large analog console in your mixes, you had to be mixing on a large analog console". 

That's what all developers of similar plug-ins will tell you. 
 
2: "as soon as this thing gets on, you can hear that there's more..." 

I actually listened without watching, like I often try when it comes to such comparisons. The first time he turned it on, I couldn't really tell. Music isn't a constant static noise - the changes in sound and dynamics when the song shifts from one chord to another and as instruments and voices come in and out probably make more difference. At times, you can think something got turned on, but it's just that the bass hits the fundamental or that the guitar moved to a different chord and created "space" below. One's hear could probably be tricked into believing that some device has been engaged at that point and continue hearing it through the song, because it's what it's paying attention too - more "bass", more "air" more mojo...

The second time, I either heard it or guessed it. With the API model, I heard a slight difference. A bit more low end.


I guess to be fair I'd have to try it for myself - but it's not something I'm really after and it's iLock protected, so that's even bigger savings for me.

I own both VCC and FG-X from Slate.

FG-X is stunning (IMO). Case in point. The other day Phil asked me what plug I used on some drums. He was hoping to get "that sound". I had to tell him all I did to the sonf was add FG-X on the master buss.

VCC leaves me cold.

I watched the video and here are my thoughts......I've recorded over the years on an API, Neve, SSL, and a Trident....and the differences between the boards are way different than what I'm hearing on this plug. I'm only going by the video, however.....I think Slate is pretty arrogant about the whole thing...making fun of his partner's french accent....wow, that's really hilarious, wtf?
I have alot of the Slate drum libraries.....my ears tell me "one trick pony"......maybe the plug is no better, lol?

Trying to get more info on this from the Slate site......I see a drive knob and a knob for input and output.......great......imagine if the plug had the eq of these consoles....that's what I would miss
