Slate Digital's latest emulation plug-in promises to give your mixes an authentic analogue vibe
If you apply the 'survival of the fittest' rule, it's no wonder that 90 per cent of today's studios are fully reliant on a computer-based recording system. It offers you infinite track counts, complete recall, automation, a degree of portability and, compared to a studio with extensive outboard gear, it's comparatively cheap.
Pros:
- 16-track and 2-track tape machines modelled.
- Rich, warm, authentic tape modelling.
- Grouping and extended Settings options.
Cons:
- Not a lot!
Rating: 4.5/5
Verdict:
Warm and rich when tracking and mastering - VTM really does deliver the sound of tape.
