Review Of Slate Digital VBC Virtual Buss Compressors

[@scottyhypnotic]

That was a great review. The recording was exactly the right type of sound and feel for a test of this sort. Switching happened when I wanted it to. Besides how amazing the VBC itself sounded,I'm was very impressed by the pace and thorough coverage of the review. I can't believe the negativity on here. Thanks for this.

BLAW BLA blaw blaaawww sound demo starts at 6:46

[@pac0re]

thank you so much lol... every video seems to be saying OH .. THIS IS THE GAINN KNOBBBB... its like they assume every person who comes to watch a fcking video knows absolutely nothing about audio.

[@NathanHarrisStudio]

+pac0re sometimes its just nice to get a full review of something because... it's a review if you just want a god damn sound demo stop looking for reviews.

[@SaschaKratzer]

Man awesome clip. Nice mix by the way!!! All plugins of Slate Digital are simply amazing. They keep on blowing me out of my socks each time. Way clearer than the waves stuff

[@BreauxBobby]

That's a great song! Love this guy's voice. Even when you turn the compressors off, the song is still high energy. I know it sounds better with them on but the band did a great job on this song.

[@King31395]

"That top end just lifting - it's lovely!" Haha, great quote :) These compressors sound great (and just look super cool too) - thanks for the full rundown on these.

[@russhughes7]

Don't worry, Steven appreciated it, as did the other 99%. I don't do these for the 1% of people who have KZbin tourettes. You don't get 28,000 subscribers without attracting a few. Thanks Pascal.

[@mixey01]

How does this compare to the SSL duende or waves SSL stereobuss compressor. Just discovered that the Duende sounds more sweeter than the waves,audio gets less distorted and crunchy but glues the tracks in a nice way. Cant wait to try out "the Glue and Slate Digital VBC Virtual Buss Compressor

[@Session600beats]

Hi, really enjoyed this review, I was wondering is this plugin mainly for mastering or do u use it on individual instruments ie general mixing purposes

[@phillipsaxin]

I've tested it, it fucking amazing. GOSH! Thanks Slate and Fabrice!

[@siriusfun]

Great review. I own and use everything Slate has made so far -- will be grabbing one of these once the issues with the ilok 2 are sorted out. I was really digging the focusing that took place when the GREY was used.

[@mick68yamaha]

Great review, great song, who's the band and what's the song called, love to buy it.

[@GlitchComputer]

KZbin doesnt do this plug in JUSTICE!!!!!!!! SO AWESOME ON DRUM BUS

[@lightmuzik]

great compressors, they really make a difference. My only gripe with them is that they're not available on mono tracks, only stereo.

[@PenumbraEclipse]

ahh that sucks.. still sounds great though. If it goes down to 100 for the DL I may have to go for it!

[@jorgecastaneda1847]

What's the problem with that? You can just process a mono signal with a stereo plugin and since there is no side signals, it won't affect that, can't you?

[@KernRamsdell]

Thanks for the great demo and review. You know your stuff, and you are pleasing to listen too.

[@mantrasoul]

thanks for making the vid, good to hear this in action. Just a question though: am I right to think that you are compressing more than would normally be appropriate, in order to let us hear the sound of the compressor? I always thought that when the compression doesn't fall back to zero gain reduction at least every once in a while during a performance, you actually don't realize the maximum effect of the compression. I know, there's a loudness war going on and all, but I am peace minded :)

[@SergiuMuresanMusic]

I tried to find a better buss compressor then this pack, because of the noise it has built in, and I was unable to, even to this day.These are absolutely brilliant. Such a pity they don't offer a "noise off" on their plugins.

[@fuserproducer]

very nice and useful plugin made by Steven Slate ,thanks for great review Russ:)

[@FarisMonshi]

Audrye Sessions! Was not expecting to hear them. Would kill to get my hands on those session files to mess around with... Great review on another awesome Slate product. Subscribed. Cheers.

[@livingabovethe12th]

i agree....these are the only buss comps i use anymore

[@SaschaKratzer]

What about mixing Movie Dialog with one of these? Any experience?

[@ferozus]

Hi guys, do you have the PT session file for this song? I love to experiment with the tracks. If yes and if you are able to publish that, please let us know where is it :) Thanx!! GOOOOD JOB!

[@philperry6564]

One of the very few plug-ins were you hear a difference even on crappy PC speaker.

[@Bunglespice]

Woah! You can add different windows to your Memory Locations? How do you do that??

[@datamasked623]

The FG-MU sounds amazing...they all do, but the MU really stood out for me.

[@DenisSarychev]

RED - Very Nice Attack in parralel compression 50-80% . VBC - TOP!

[@OmgItsAlexOfficial]

Very cool! Love the snare, is it sampled or real?

[@GJames021]

Is this compressor similar to the shadow hills compressor?

[@DarthPreamp]

Great review! Thanks! I wonder how these would sound on acoustic music?

[@MBoogy66]

love..love...love that song.....awesome as hell!!!

[@lowlymusic]

watching videos like this on a laptop is hilarious. It sounds the exact same bypassed as it does when it's on.

[@robburgess4556]

Something you alluded to but didn't demo - the drive sound of the red with no compression.

[@TheCrystalyne]

Really makes a big difference, I bought it.

[@thomasg3579]

cant wait to try it out!

[@yopizza]

Is it best used on the master?

[@atgred]

CLA is using the old red 3 again. He used for a very little time the Shadow Hills. And to be clear on how much he compresses his mixes, the trick is the lowest ratio possible, in this case 1.5:1

[@cuddletron3000]

Man! I want this, now to drop the money that i shouldn't be spending or not

[@ProductionExpert]

Had i the time I would have got a band in for a session for the day and recorded an entire track before I made this video.

[@jimsonic3329]

Yeah right no time to do what you supposedly do lol. You may be fooling the amateurs but not the veterans.

[@entyce66]

thx for your vidies russ

[@strikingtwice]

As soon as Slate rumors start, I usually start saving some $.

[@zoozazoot]

Honestly some of the audio sounded more open and better to my ears when the comps were bypassed

[@bradproskoproduction]

ya this was a no brainer...demo turned into a purchase within an hour

[@siriusfun]

Slate is a head and shoulders above anything Waves have put out. I used to use waves back in the early/mid 2000s, but there's no reason to these days -- they've fallen waaaay behind. UAD, Brainworx and Slate - no crispy, unfocused and distorted mixes anymore.

[@FacPhoto]

Me too....A no brainer.. This is one smart plugin...Well 3 actually. LOL.

[@ProductionExpert]

Please do, always looking for good material for these videos, although I can't promise to get you on American Idol. Please contact support email. :)

[@FVDaudio]

Excelente.

[@danboniface914]

Great compressor. But the guitar on the left side is WAY too loud (no fault of the compressor, but the mix itself)

[@MBoogy66]

Who izz that?....if I may!

[@steffenAC]

Well ... the song definitely IS extremely fatigueing and hurts the ears a lot. Not the best choice for a compressor test IMO as the compression makes it sound even worse. I think a more dynamic acoustic song would have suited the purpose better. However, I do appreciate the work.

[@djGreenALERT]

Maybe it's my headphones, but it sounds to me like the kick and bass had no guts to it. Not on ANY of the compressors!

[@ProductionExpert]

So much stupidity

[@meedily]

It proves they're manly, but also sensitive.

[@yacqubahmed861]

xbg

[@FacPhoto]

I just didn't bother with a demo. I just got my wallet out.

[@Usumgallu]

so much yelling

[@michaell.8938]

Not a very professional answer. Granted, it wasn't a very intelligent comment they made, but you didn't have to lower yourself to their level by calling them stupid.

[@RobertJamesWolfe]

russ that session was terrible. screeching pain. couldn't watch. had to turn it off straight after your sales pitch ;( appreciate your other work though, keep it up. ;)

[@jimsonic3329]

Genius i dont care if youre using the cheapest compressor in the world if you take it away after its been on, the mix is going to feel like it falls apart. You attempt to sound cool by using phrases like harmonic structure but it doesnt apply here at all. Thats the sad thing about the internet, any amateur can get on claim to be "an expert" which youre clearly not and the dummies just eat it up.

[@stupidusername38]

Russ ive been informed that i need an Ilok to demo this product. This reminds me of Steinberg. I had to go to my local music store (which isn't local) to try Cubase. Isn't there a user friendly way of trying this? i realise that Slate Digital are protecting their hard work but I can't try it so won't be buying it
