the latest addition to Slate Digital's Virtual Mix Rack allows users to manipulate transients in their source material, and is capable targeting specific frequency ranges thanks to the inclusion of a unique Focus control.
Slate Digital FG-2A
The World’s not short of LA‑2A plug‑ins, but some are more convincing than others.
It’s only recently that I’ve really got into using Slate Digital’s Virtual Mix Rack (VMR). This DAW plug‑in (in the usual Mac/Windows formats) hosts a range of Slate’s analogue modelling plug‑ins, which you can drag and drop to add, delete and reorder. Since I last auditioned their range, Slate have added a remarkable number of emulations to this ecosystem, making VMR much more useful in the process: if you subscribe to Slate’s All Access Pass you’ll rarely need to leave it to access other developers’ plug‑ins. The latest to enter the VMR stable is FG‑2A, an emulation of the Urei/Teletronix LA‑2A tube opto compressor. To use it, you can buy it outright or sign up to the All Access Pass.
