We have all been at the mercy of the \"loudness wars\" for over ten years now. Masters have become louder and louder, at the expense of the music becoming harsh and lacking punch and dynamics. One of the main causes of this epidemic is the use of the Peak Limiter to achieve increased levels in the mastering stage. Peak limiters attenuate transients and often reduce punch, stereo imaging, can greatly alter mix balances, and cause a fatiguing result to the ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the top mastering engineers have found ways to combat this sonic degradation by using techniques other then Peak Limiting. One of the more popular techniques is the use of saturation in both the analog and digital domain. Another popular method is clipping the front end of expensive A\/D converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, both of these methods, while better then peak limiting, have their downfalls. Static saturation curves are not universal in their ability to sound good on all transients. Clipping greatly reduces low end punch and is very poor at retaining sub bass. Both static saturation and clipping have a small window of gain maximizing before audible distortion. Enter the \u003cstrong\u003eSlate Digital FG-X Virtual Mastering Processor\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFG-X Dynamics Rack\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTwo years ago Steven Slate and expert algorithm engineer Fabrice Gabriel started working out the concept for a digital audio process that could increase the level of a mix without altering the punch and dynamic feel, or make the mix sound squashed and lifeless. They started by researching saturation curves and their effect on various types of transient material. After several months of study and hundreds of listening tests, they made some fascinating discoveries. What they found, was that in order to transparently add level to a mix, a dynamic and intelligent transient saturation system would have to be developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eNew Advanced Algorithms were created to execute the extremely complex communication system that would be needed to properly perform the new dynamic operations. A new algorithm was formed, and the process was named \"Intelligent Transient Preservation\", or ITP.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eITP\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe ITP process uses a complex lookahead detection algorithm to analyze oncoming transients and groups of transients. It then optimizes a specialized set of saturation curves for that specific transient. For example, if the ITP algorithm’s lookahead identifies a kick drum transient, it will optimize the algorithm so that it preserves low frequency energy. For a snare drum transient, it will optimize the algorithm to preserve upper mid range punch. The result is the most transparent means of level maximization the industry has ever heard, with extreme transparency, and no degrading artifacts common to peak limiters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eControl\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe FG LEVEL maximization plug-in offers the user complete control of their mix, before and after the level maximization process.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe TRANSIENT function contains two controls to fine tune mix transients. Lo Punch allows you to transparently increase the level of the low energy in a mix, increasing the punch and dynamics without altering other elements of the mix. DETAIL adds more clarity and focus to the transients, perfect for buried snares or kicks.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the ITP powered GAIN maximizer, there is a function called Dynamic Perception. This amazing new process can make the final master sound more dynamic, open, and punchy, even though the master has much more limited dynamic range then the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eITP Global Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt the right of the Dynamic Perception control lies the ITP character slider. This control sets the global character of saturation curves that the ITP process will produce. The higher the slider, the more the transients in the mix will sound harder. The lower the slider, the more the transients will sound smoother. This great feature allows you to further customize your master with extreme precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eTrue Mastering Quality Compression\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSome mastering compressor plug-ins try to emulate vintage analog units and add color, harmonics, and different filters that change the way your mix sounds. In truth, most top mastering engineers use very little or no compression. When they do use compression, they use only the most transparent compressors that will not alter the tone or balance of the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe FG Dynamics plug-in is a true mastering quality compressor meant to control the dynamics of your mix in the most transparent way possible, not to color it with digitally modeled harmonics or distortions. The FG Dynamics compressor assumes that you have used your favorite color or tone compressor to achieve the sound on your final mix. It is the job of the FG Dynamics compressor to maintain that quality, not alter it. The advanced dynamics algorithm is so transparent, you'll wonder if its on!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eQuality Tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to fine tune the FG-X Virtual Mastering Console, Slate Digital has had some of the top mastering engineers in the world help us test out the algorithms to ensure that they work in the finest and most accurate way possible.

We have all been at the mercy of the \"loudness wars\" for over ten years now. Masters have become louder and louder, at the expense of the music becoming harsh and lacking punch and dynamics. One of the main causes of this epidemic is the use of the Peak Limiter to achieve increased levels in the mastering stage. Peak limiters attenuate transients and often reduce punch, stereo imaging, can greatly alter mix balances, and cause a fatiguing result to the ears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the top mastering engineers have found ways to combat this sonic degradation by using techniques other then Peak Limiting. One of the more popular techniques is the use of saturation in both the analog and digital domain. Another popular method is clipping the front end of expensive A\/D converters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, both of these methods, while better then peak limiting, have their downfalls. Static saturation curves are not universal in their ability to sound good on all transients. Clipping greatly reduces low end punch and is very poor at retaining sub bass. Both static saturation and clipping have a small window of gain maximizing before audible distortion.

They started by researching saturation curves and their effect on various types of transient material. After several months of study and hundreds of listening tests, they made some fascinating discoveries. What they found, was that in order to transparently add level to a mix, a dynamic and intelligent transient saturation system would have to be developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld-class mastering compressor with transparent and articulate sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevolutionary ITP process to make your mixes louder without degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls for low and high punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra precise mastering quality metering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMac\/Windows VST, RTAS, AU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Advanced Algorithms were created to execute the extremely complex communication system that would be needed to properly perform the new dynamic operations.

For example, if the ITP algorithm’s lookahead identifies a kick drum transient, it will optimize the algorithm so that it preserves low frequency energy. For a snare drum transient, it will optimize the algorithm to preserve upper mid range punch. The result is the most transparent means of level maximization the industry has ever heard, with extreme transparency, and no degrading artifacts common to peak limiters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eControl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe FG LEVEL maximization plugin offers the user complete control of their mix, before and after the level maximization process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe TRANSIENT function contains two controls to fine tune mix transients.

It’s the result of studying over a dozen classic analog EQ’s, and identifying all the best attributes of each of them, and then piecing these best attributes together in one EQ. So that means that every band of the Custom EQ has it’s own uniquely modeled boost design, it’s own distinct attenuation design, and even its own analog modeled output section with rich musical harmonics to give it a lively analog vibe. But despite the EQ’s hybrid nature, you’ll find it to be extremely cohesive, intuitive, and really really natural sounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe high band boost is inspired by really smooth and open sounding tube mastering EQ’s so they’re going to add dimension, clarity, and depth... but without sounding thin and harsh. The upper midrange band boost is inspired by a combo of classic analog EQ’s, and it’s designed to increase the presence, impact, and punch but without sounding honky, nasal, and abrasive. The low-mid and low band boosts were inspired by a vintage solid state mastering EQ. They will add warmth, punch, and bigness without sounding boxy, boomy, or muddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnd again, the cuts of each band have their own character and shape too, all optimized for their specific roles… so the Custom high band will reduce the thinness and harshness of your source but it won’t take away clarity… the upper-mid cut is designed to transparently remove the abrasive and nasal qualities without removing presence… the low-mid cut can remove the boxiness and mud without removing the warmth.. the low-end cut can remove boominess without making the source sound weak and weightless, and the high and low pass filters are designed with an extremely gentle slope so that they always make the audio source remain natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eGet the Custom EQ and all other Slate Digital Plugins in the Slate Mix\/Master and Mix\/Master FX Bundle!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCUSTOM SERIES LIFT\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt Slate Digital, our goal is to create musical tools that will make your mixes sound the best they ever have, and to also make tools that are intuitive, easy, and help your workflow.

But there is a lot going on behind the scenes. The LIFT has two analog modeled parallel filter networks that 'lift' the top end of the frequency spectrum and the low end of the frequency spectrum in an incredibly musical and natural way.  The goal with LIFT was to make the effect so cohesive and transparent, and yet, with the custom analog modeled harmonic output stages, the sound is lively and deep.  With LIFT you can easily manipulate the source to sound how you want it, without it sounding overly affected or unnatural.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe HI Lift has two settings, one called present which focuses the effect on the mid frequencies, and silky, which focuses a bit more on the higher frequencies.  Low Lift also has two settings..  BIG which is a broad hefty sound that universally increases the mass of your low end, and punchy, which is a more focused and punchy sounding boost which is amazing on percussive material.  Both sections are the result of thorough research and study of some of the industry’s top analog designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason that LIFT has been called such a \"BEAST\" by our beta team is because you'll find that a lot of material can be processed perfectly using just one or both of these LIFT processes.  You'll also find that by using LIFT at the beginning of your chain, your tracks will start taking shape fast and you'll need LESS processing and further EQ down the road.  And finally, LIFT can fix problematic tracks in a way that makes them sound like they’ve never had a problem at all. Ok, so let's hear it in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Custom Series LIFT is a true workhorse processor that will come in handy more than you’ll ever imagine.

It’s lush, warm, fat, present, and BIG sounding. If you have a wimpy source, it gets fixed with this mic. It doesn’t have that modern sizzly top-end air, but it takes EQ in the top end like a champion. I love adding some Custom Series 10 kHz when using this mic. By pushing the intensity, it gets even darker, moodier, and a bit more saturated. Don’t just use this microphone on vocals. Put it on drums as a room mic. Put it on the outside of a kick. Put it on horns, strings.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFG-800: The FG-800 is based on a solid performing studio vocal mic. This is a bright and airy microphone.

And it actually works a lot, even on modern male rock vocals.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFG-251: The FG-251 sounds so good on just about everything. It’s the perfect balance of top, middle, and bottom. There is something so flattering about this mic that every singer just sounds better than they do in the actual room. The intensity is really fun with this one. This mic pairs well with both preamps, so try them both using the VMR A-\u0026gt;B system.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFG-12: The FG-12 emulates an Austrian classic known for being incredibly smooth and rich-sounding.

It adds a wonderful coloration to the upper mids especially, and adds a warm presence to vocals, bass, drums, and guitars.

This model has much bigger lows and smoother mids and highs compared to Circuit 1, making it sound quite stunning on drum room mics, as well as vocals that need to have more ‘bigness’ and don’t require the midrange push of Circuit 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBoth Circuits have a Hi Pass Detective Filter that allows the lows to pass through uncompressed, which can sound really musical on a drum buss.

The output transformer has been cleaned up so that it will have no output saturation, and the attack has been decoupled from the release so that it can be set much slower than the hardware for more transient articulation…\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eCircuit 1 – The attack is slow enough that this compressor can sound amazing on close drum mics with the slowest attack and fastest release – try it on a snare to bring out the punch while extending the decay. Also try playing with the Mix knob, which allows you to slightly overcompress and then dial it back down so that it sits in the mix nicely. Bass guitars can take on a very edgy sound on this same setting, and by backing down the release you’ll start to tighten things up (which can be great on kick drum too).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eCircuit 2 will have a more breathable and punchy bottom end and overall smoother response on the top end. It sounds amazing on a drum buss with the Hi Pass filter engaged, and even full mixes can really benefit from this musical compressor! Yes, with the Blue Modern – with the attack on the slowest and release on fastest and with the HP filter on – you can use it on full mix! Compress about 10db, then back off the mix knob to about 25% for incredible energy and excitement.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMinimum System Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eQuad Core i5 Processor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4GB of RAM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMac OS X 10.7 or Later\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows 7 \u0026amp; Above\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eiLok2 Required\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended System Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eQuad Core i7 Processor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e8GB of RAM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMac OS X 10.9 or Later\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows 7 \u0026amp; Above\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eiLok2 Required\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Slate Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450155200615,"sku":"84261","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/slate-digital-fg-116_84261_1_912f79b7-184e-44c3-829b-e2b8169daa8d.jpg?v=1787091905"},{"product_id":"slate-digital-vms-one-stereo-pair","title":"Slate Digital VMS One - Stereo Pair","description":"\u003cp\u003eSlate Digital and Vintage King Audio bring you the next generation of precision modeled hybrid microphone technology, the \u003cstrong\u003eSlate VMS Virtual Microphone System\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It’s lush, warm, fat, present, and BIG sounding. If you have a wimpy source, it gets fixed with this mic. It doesn’t have that modern sizzly top-end air, but it takes EQ in the top end like a champion. I love adding some Custom Series 10 kHz when using this mic. By pushing the intensity, it gets even darker, moodier, and a bit more saturated. Don’t just use this microphone on vocals. Put it on drums as a room mic. Put it on the outside of a kick. Put it on horns, strings.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFG-800\u003c\/strong\u003e: The FG-800 is based on a solid performing studio vocal mic.
