The Neve model in VCC adds more punch to drums than the Neve model in NLS to my ears. Extreme settings rarely sound good in the context of an entire mix, but its all up to the user to decide.Ĭompared to other analog console modelers ( Waves NLS), VCC has a few of the same models - SSL and Neve, a few different models - API, Trident, RC-Tube, and doesn't have an EMI model that NLS does.

One good thing about the VCC software is that the user can dial in just how much 'drive' or analog sound they want to add.

To get the best idea about the consoles (without purchasing the plug-in) you can listen to demos on the slate digital webpage or even download a demo. The SSL and API models are more subtle and do different things to the mid-range. To my ears, the Neve console is the most dramatic and adds a lot to drums and bass by thickening up the low end. There are several different analog consoles to choose from: SSL, API, Neve, Trident, RC-Tube. There are people that disagree, but in my opinion I like what VCC does to my tracks. Whatever it is, analog summing is know to add dimension or depth to music. I assume there is a little bit of pleasing distortion, subtle compression, and possibly some changes to the stereo field in analog summing. I don't understand the details of how analog summing is different to digital summing. Another thing that makes analog consoles sound unique is the mix-bus summing. VCC comes with a plug-in to be used on individual tracks to do just that. Part of what makes an analog console sound different than mixing in the box (ITB) is that individual channels add a little bit of pleasing distortion (harmonics) and subtle compression to an input signal.
If you think your recordings sound digital/sterile then this plug-in might help your tracks sound more desirable. This plug-in was designed to simulate the sound of an analog hardware console. If you don't already own an iLok2, this might be something to look out for. Sometimes there are offers of getting a free iLok2 along with your purchase of one of the slate digital plug-ins. Authorization is down using an iLok2 dongle. The software can be directly downloaded from the slate digital website. Slate Digital Virtual Console Collection (VCC) is a suite of software plug-ins (single channel and mix buss versions) that can be used in a DAW. With the four models (VCC) Brit 4K, Brit N, USA and Pi, it makes it a must have for anyone who wants to learn mixing or someone who is already solid at mixing and needs some good plug ins.

It is a 64 bit plug in but can also be used in the 32 bit plug in form.
My computer can handle it with no problem because it uses very little CPU. I love working with the Virtual Channel and have it on pretty much every single mixer track in my projects. The price is very affordable as well making it a must have for anyone who makes music at home and wants to really put the finishing touches on their music.
They brought color, depth, and stereo width to my tracks and I am very impressed with it. I was able to see immediate how both of them affected my sound. In order for me to really understand these plug ins I just had to start working with them and not be too technical. The Slate Virtual MixBuss has only two knobs and a group on/off switch. The slate Virtual Channel has only 6 knobs and a few channels and channel settings that can all be edited and controlled.

I have not seen a manual for them, but learning them was not hard. I have them on my Mac running OS X 10.6 and they have never given me any issues. Installing these plug ins was quick and simple. I will not do many drums without this plug in anymore because once I started using it, there is no way I can go back to having my drums go back to how they were before. One of my favorites is the API because it delivers a large sound on my drums and makes them sound huge. They have given my tracks some depth and great stereo separation with minimal effort on my part. Using these two plug ins is very easy because of the interface.
