Slate Digital Virtual Mix Rack Reviews

Quality

Wow... A sprinkel of Magic indeed. Value for money is great. I have added a couple more racks to the collection sinse this purchase. A fantastic starting point for mastering. Thanks Slate Digital

Small bundle with big power

Please be careful when you buy it . it comes just with 7 units. At first i thought that , its not even a fair deal. But after starting to using i understood that i am wrong. Rack is including also ready to go presets and they make to work with them easier.

Good and very effective

Very nice plugins that make your sound improve drastically when applying them correctly. Not that cheap because of the ilok

you need to enable it to work and not really easy to install. But very good plugin besides those arguments

VMR!!

A great piece of kit in terms of it's sound, overall low CPU usage, and value (especially at this price).

There are a couple of points that some people may find annoying:

a) there are no overall gain controls for the Rack, which can make gain staging a bit of a pain. However Slate himself has said that there is a soon to be released Trimmer module to alleviate this issue.

b) the rack window can be a waste of screen estate. If only one module is required then you will find that three empty (default) slots will be visible with no means to hide them. This becomes a big issue on smaller screens where screen estate management is a must.

c) If you want to use an plugin external to the VMR in between two modules (e.g. FG-116 - **native EQ** - Revival) then it could easily become a bit clumsy to manage multiple VMRs on a single channel strip.

d) You need an iLok2

For my own workflow i find it more than satisfactory and a breeze to use!

Update (26 March 2015)
