Software Compatibility

You'll need an iLok copy protection device in order to use this software. If you already have one, you're good to go. If you don't, you can buy one here. An iLok is a small USB gadget (about the size of a thumb drive) that plugs into your computer. It "unlocks" the software, allowing you to use it.

Most software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers, but check to make sure.

If you're using Pro Tools, AAX plug-ins (or RTAS for older versions) are what you need. Most other Mac DAWs support AU plug-ins. VST is compatible with a number of Mac and Windows programs. Be sure you choose plug-ins that work with your DAW!

Amazing EQs and Compressors

The Slate Digital VMR 2.0 brings you a range of stellar plug-ins modeled after legendary analog hardware. Between the FG-N and FG-S equalizers, and the FG-401 and FG-116 compressors, you've got all the tools you need to create mixes with punch, warmth, richness, and detail. And VMR modules are highly CPU efficient, which means you'll have more processing power during mixdown. VMR 2.0 is guaranteed to speed up your workflow. Not only can you switch between eight customizable channel strip configurations using VMR's Dream Strips, but there's also something to be said for having your entire processing chain available in one convenient window. The Slate Digital VMR 2.0 puts the analog channel strip of your dreams right inside your DAW.

Create the channel strips of your dreams with VMR 2.0

Version 2.0 of Slate Digital's VMR includes lots of tweaks, improvements, and added features. At Sweetwater, we appreciate VMR 2.0's slicker browser with thumbnail and list modes, as well as a handy search function. Clear the entire rack with the touch of a button. Benefit from faster loading times. Convenient undo/redo buttons allow you to get creative without losing your settings. Heavy saturation and distortion sound better than ever, thanks to VMR 2.0's oversampling option. And per customer request, the noise has been removed from the FG-N, FG-S, FG-Stress, FG-73, and FG-76 modules. The most exciting new feature, however, is VMR 2.0's Dream Strips. Dream Strips give you instant access to eight customizable channel strip configurations, allowing you to audition full signal chains with a single click.

Additional plug-ins sold separately.

Two analog-modeled EQs you'll want to use on every mix

The spectrum-shaping side of the VMR Virtual Mix Rack plug-in includes the FG-N and FG-S equalizer modules. The FG-N is a glorious-sounding equalizer based on a legendary British design, modeled to perfection. You get the lovely saturation in the filters, along with the subtle harmonics that give this EQ its unique character. The FG-S is another classic equalizer modeled from a famous mixing desk EQ, and it's the ultimate workhorse, perfect for aggressive drums, bass, and guitars.

Control or fatten any track with VCA- and FET-modeled compressors

Whether you want inconspicuous dynamics control or want to crush a drum mix for an epic sound, you've got the tools you need in the VMR 2.0 plug-in. With two unique circuit paths and a gorgeously fat-sounding transformer, the FG-401 compressor is a hybrid of some of the most popular VCA channel compressors in use today and gives you impressive sonic variety. The FG-116 is a dead-on re-creation of a classic American FET compressor. Slate CTO Fabrice Gabriel says this was the most difficult compressor he's ever modeled, but we think he managed to re-create all the little nuances that give this compressor its iconic sound.

Additional plug-ins sold separately.

Grow your Virtual Mix Rack however you need

While the Slate Digital VMR 2.0 packs a ton of value with four outstanding plug-in processors, that's just the beginning.

That means you get a sweet set of plug-ins now, with the ability to grow your selection in the future.

Look no further

I have been dabbling in the world of home recording drums the past couple of years and when the pandemic hit and gigs dried up, I started collaborating with musicians all over the world. I was doing the mixing and recently wanted to up my game by taking private lessons from a well known and successful musician and audio engineer. He showed me the Slate Digital mix rack and I was already a huge fan of his recordings. I followed his recommendation and I'm not only 100% happy with Slate's plugins, I'm blown away. So clean, so simple, and so worth it if you are serious about mixing. My game is next level as a result of Slate Digital.

Be Ready To Wow Your Clients!

I'm an amateur producer with 8 years of experience with recording and mixing. These compressors and EQs really make my mixes shine and give everything a unique sparkle that helps my instruments and vocals sit better in the mix. I've had several clients tell me "Wow! What did you do to make the song sound even better?" It gives me confidence knowing how easy VMR is on the eyes AND on my mixes. I eventually got the Everything Bundle (60+ compressors/reverbs/virtual tape machines and a LOT more) offered on Slate Digital's website for 15/month so CHECK that out too, if you love this.

Brought my tracks to life!

The compressors are great and sound very clean, but it's the EQ that really bring my vocals and instruments to life and let them sit right in the mix.
