    Live sound question!

    I am helping a friend re vamp a small music venue. When I say small I mean a cap of round 150 people or so, more at a squash. He had some bigger dual powered 15 inch Mackie speakers in house which were nice but they were too big and took a lot of audience room and view of the stage so he has...

    Trigger is not included as it is a separate Slate company. Only mix based plugins, EQ and comps from Slate Digital etc are in this deal.

    All Slate Digital Plugins Free for 6 months!

    Yeah even though I had a few bad things to say about the current Slate business model I can't fault their plugins. I have run them on 3 different machines, a current mac book pro, a Current Toshiba Windows notebook and an older desktop using various versions of Cubase from 6.5 - 8 and also...

    All Slate Digital Plugins Free for 6 months!

    Well if you read the above posts you should understand why. It has been said multiple times, the deal he has put in place is not where we all expected him to go. Now while there is no rule that says he must look after all old customers first and foremost it does seem like the whole free months...

    All Slate Digital Plugins Free for 6 months!

    It seems many of agree about what 'should' be next in terms of modules. Yeah my point echos all of yours, subscription is for new users only. I love what I own too, which is why I am disappointed I may have to miss out on future releases unless price point is VERY different. The irony...

    All Slate Digital Plugins Free for 6 months!

    Yeah in term of compression I would like those and a la2a but that would be all that I would need. Again though it would be nice to see slate do something other than EQ and compression at least for a few modules. Have you tried Major Tom by Stillwell Audio? A nice 160 clone if you ask me...

    All Slate Digital Plugins Free for 6 months!

    It sure feels that way to me. I am sitting here using the new modules as I type this. They do sound nice and do the things Slate says BUT I do feel that I now have yet another module to 'EQ and excite the highs and lows' kind of the same as many of the other modules already in VMR...

    All Slate Digital Plugins Free for 6 months!

    Hmm I own all slate digital plugins and only got 4 months free. I will look into that then. I am a bit surprised at the individual price for the new custom series module. I think the rental price is REALLY well priced and I DO like the idea of this payment plan for new users BUT (as it has...

    Midas M32 as recording console? Please help!

    Yeah I agree that why it is such as struggle to choose. The reality is that while I won't use a large amount of the included "digital stuff' with this desk I still couldn't get that many pres, convertors and a control surface for the same money without the stuff I won't use... This makes it...

    Midas M32 as recording console? Please help!

    I had not considered this specific one, no but had looked at other options similar to this. If I was to go this way (in a recording studio) would gain etc be controlled via software? What else would I need? Convertors?

    Midas M32 as recording console? Please help!

    There are quite a few things different about this compared to the x32, the internal software is about the only thing they have in common at all, from what I can see. The pre amps in the m32 are the same as the Heritage 3000 series consoles, famed for their sound. As a live engineer myself I...

    Midas M32 as recording console? Please help!

    Could you expand on this? Why? I have had quite a lot of experience on the gsr24 and while I liked it enough it didn't wow me so I will keep this in mind as another option, thanks.

    Midas M32 as recording console? Please help!

    I am currently working on building a studio but I am really stuck on what console/pres etc to run. I don't have the budget to think about large format consoles but I do want as many inputs as possible. For what I can tell the Midas M32 is the cheapest way to get 32 premium pre amps. I...
