HUGE VALUE and VMS is Easy on the CPU!

Even without considering the Virtual Mic Locker, the Slate ML-1 is a significant upgrade to my physical microphone locker. Since we are on an extremely limited budget, we regularly record using an AT2020, an AT2035, an MXL 770, or an MXL 990. Each of those mics are extremely colored with issues in the low-mids and various high-end boosts, as expected with the budget-friendly materials. The ML-1 has none of these issues. As advertised, the response across the board is incredibly flat. I have spent a bit of time experimenting straight into my UAD Apollo Solo, as well as combining it with the VMS-ONE preamp. I will have to get used to such a large diaphragm, as any off-axis recording is super sensitive to change (even accidentally scooting over a couple of inches) at higher gain levels, especially with the VMS-ONE.
Adding the Virtual Mic Locker, it really only gets better. With my UAD Solo and the Slate Mix Rack plugin, there is virtually no latency while monitoring through my DAW (while bypassing console, of course). Recording with my Behringer UMC1820, I get 4ms which is almost imperceivable. In the mix rack, you get emulations of the Neumann U47 (FG-47), the Telefunken ELA M251 (FG-251) and the Sony C800g (FG-800) and a couple of others that I haven't tested extensively yet. Through my lower-end monitors (Presonus Eris), some of the emulations sound a little brighter compared to audio samples you can find of the actual microphones online, but that is hardly a scientific test.
Overall, I am super impressed with the package. As a teaching tool, this will be amazing next semester. As a recording tool, this will be a valuable asset in my locker.
