    But surely that will leave it well down the list of things to buy for most people ?

    maybe it is a little nerdy and specialised but then again so are most engineers that are serious about their results.. so there's his market right there.

    I got it today there anyway..haven't had a chance to play with it yet..and ya paul, for me anyway..this is just the finishing touch..it kinda gets two birds stoned at once..subtle distortion/harmonics on each channel and the soft eq alterations..and just gets **** to gel..it wont really change my workflow at all, but ya..just the icing kinda..

    This seems a lot of fuss over something that is 'subtle' ..... or am I missing something ?

    Mixed an album over the last few days and used VCC on every track . Very happy with the results. Glued the instruments together & softened the high end.

    Was thinking about the 'subtle' thing. If i posted an ITB mix and a summed mix, would the difference be that huge?? I would have thought it would be fairly subtle.

    Every upgrade I've made to mics, pre's & converters has upped the game a little.......If i have a mix that i'm 99% happy with, & VCC gives an extra little something, I'm happy to use it.

    I'd love to ;) - but it's failed to install for Ableton ;) - waiting on support for a fix.

    I just got the demo and have mad drop-outs and clicks and pops. I tried to put it on every track and put the bus plugin on the busses but it won't play, I just get cpu overload errors.
    I'm on an 8 core mac pro with PTHD8. It's a very normal mix, not very big by any stretch of the imagination and all my other plugins are TDM.
    Anyone else have any problems like this?
    Sounds lovely when it does play though...

    Not sure what the cpu overload messages are about, but just in case you don't know, the demo version cuts audio for a second every 10 or 15 seconds.

    Aah, that explains the dropouts so.
    I can't figure out the cpu problem though...

    quite a few cpu problems here aswell, especially on the 4k model. trident and api are fine but the neve gets a touch messy when i start adding mix busses.

    but its still only beta remember and slate has said that they need to optimise code before final release.

    That's interesting Sonas - is that the only difference between the mixes ?

    I see on mix 1 the waveform is much different on the VCC one .

    Nice contrast of material too !

    Hi SonicsRec. Your Mix 2 with VCC sounds quite good. Could you tell me what settings of the VCC you were using?

    The only difference between the two is VCC. I've used the neve setting on every channel and the neve on the mix buss. No input adjust and no drive used.

    I chose the two different mixes because they were so different.

    Yeah Paul, I'm not mad about the look of those waveforms. Suppose it's the distortion and harmonics generated.

    Any opinions? does it make a difference, good or bad?

    No criticism implied !

    The VCC versions both sounded superior to my lugs (though both mixes were grand beforehand !) .... listening on my laptop too.

    I just got an email from slate digital today, saying that, as id splashed out for the beta, and they had said that for that id def get the full version, and due to piracy they're changing the protection to ilok2..they're gonna send anyone that bought the beta a new ilok..for absolutely nothing..

    this is customer service people..

    I was about to pull the trigger on this for a current project but it' no longer available. I'll have to go with URS Classic Console Strip Pro. Any idea if it's any good?

    Hi guys, long time since I posted here! Can someone do a null test on it please? So we can see what it is actually doing. Also a blind test might be nice? Have been looking into the airwindows version for a while but might get this if its half decent. Im not one who fusses greatly over whether it sounds analogue or not but if it sounds better I would be interested
