(boy I really sound like a shill, don't I? ) I'm officially a fanboy.Ī little late, I rarely come here, but the Slate team has drastically cut mix times down. These guys and Kush Audio (and maybe Sound Toys) are really on the cutting edge of analog emulation/ sounding plugins, and they're really making ITB mixing a more viable option than it's ever been- I highly recommend them for anyone with an in the box home studio. There's some sound clips on gearslutz which are pretty impressive- I'll definitely be getting it the day it comes out. They're also about to release the Virtual Buss Compressors- 3 compressors modeled after the SSL buss comp, REDD comp that CLA uses all the time, and a Fairchild- Manley Vari-Mu hybrid.
Just bought Trigger too, (haven't used it yet) and I'm really excited to have the option of blending in some great samples in my recorded studio drum tracks if they need them, I can think back to a couple sessions where either the floor tom or kick weren't quite cutting it in the mix and it would have been great to have it as an option, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore (although it's sort of a last resort thing for me- I prefer to get it right coming in). I'm by no means a masterer- but I got the FG-X mastering plugin for when I did have to deliver a master on my own, and it's AWESOME for getting the volume up to snuff without totally squashing the track. VCC (Virtual Console Collection) and VTM (Virtual Tape Machines) are mainstays in my mixes now and I can't imagine mixing without them- I have an entirely "in the box" setup at home and they give my mixes an analog feel and sound- really gluing everything together.
I use Steven Slate Drums 4 Platinum on my V Drums kit at home and have gotten surprisingly realistic sounding tracks- I've been doing some work for composers with them and they've been really happy with the results. These haven't been talked about much here- I've been incredibly impressed with their whole product line and now own just about everything they make.
