Slate Digital VTC Vintage Tube

Slate Digital VTC Vintage Tube

VCT Overview

The Slate Digital VIRTUAL TUBE COLLECTION is a collection of three plugins for Virtual Mix Rack that recreate the sound of classic vintage tube circuits. Each module can act as a preamp, a saturator, and even a virtual tube summing console. Using VTC, you can add colour, warmth, depth, and vibe to your mixes and masters. VMS users can also use VTC preamps with the microphone models for rich and vibey tone on their tracks.

Included Modules:

VCT London

The VCT London is inspired by some vintage tube circuits originating from Europe. The sound of London is big, warm and bold in the lows and low mids, and slightly smooth in the top end. The transient response has a slight thickness to it without being overly aggressive. London sounds amazing for fattening up tracks in preamp mode, or thickening things up with its preamp saturation, plus you can add fat analogue body in Console mode on the whole mix.

VCT New York

The VCT New York is inspired by some vintage tube circuits with a hint of inspiration from some New York solid state discrete circuits to give it some tightness and impact. New York is aggressive in the mids, and tighter in the lows due its unique dynamic harmonic saturation. It adds incredible focus and punch to your tracks in preamp mode, especially in boost mode.

VCT Hollywood

The VCT Hollywood is perhaps the most colourful of the three modules, and it’s got some beautiful air, depth, excitement, and some really big bottom! When used it on boost mode it can make your tracks come alive. In console mode, it can simply transform a lifeless mix into something larger than life.

Example of use:

• Use Preamp with Boost across tracks to add vibe and colour
• and remove digital cleanliness.
• Use Console as first insert on mix bus with a bit of saturation
• to add weight, glue, and analogue colour to whole mix.
• Use Preamp or Console saturation on drums, vocals, guitar
• and keys.
• Use Preamp distortion with mix knob to add thickness and warmth
• to tracks like vocals, snare, toms, drum buss, or even whole mix.
• Use Console saturation in mastering chain to reduce peaks in a warm
• and punchy way.
