Despite the digital revolution in the audio industry, many of today's top commercial albums are still mixed on analog consoles. Audio engineers rely on analog mixing to provide the nonlinear musical qualities that digital mixing does not produce.

The Slate Digital Virtual Console Collection brings the sound of 4 of the world's top analog consoles into your DAW workstation. The consoles were studied inside and out and their entire circuit paths were meticulously modeled.   The plugins will recreate every subtle nuance that makes the audio desks the legends that they are.

The Virtual Console Collection consists of two plugins, Virtual Channel and Virtual Mixbuss. Each plugin allows the user to choose from one of four modeled consoles. Virtual Channel is applied on individual mixing channels. Virtual Mixbuss is applied to the first insert of the master fader. When using the Virtual Console Collection, your DAW will instantly take on the personality of a real analog mixing desk. The imaging and depth will improve, instruments will sit better in the frequency spectrum, and mixing will become easier and more musical. You can even push the DAW faders up to find each mixer's "sweet spot"!

"When you mix through an analog desk you get this life and body to the sound that just doesn't happen when you mix inside the workstation.   The separation and imaging from the analog summing is very apparent, especially when your track count gets high."
- Jay Baumgardner(Grammy award winning mixing engineer)
