Key Features
The Slate Digital Virtual Microphone System is a plugin for the Slate ML-1A and ML-1 microphones which precisely models a huge range of essential and classic studio microphones, and some well-know preamps, of the last 70 years. Pairing with your Slate microphone, Virtual Microphone System lets you adjust the sound of your recording during or after recording, just like you would in a traditional studio, just much quicker and much more affordable.
Containing a huge range of condenser, classic tube and warm ribbon microphone models, Virtual Microphone System has everything you need to record any sound or instrument. A special feature of VMS is the Mic Morphing feature. Mic Morphing lets you combine characteristics of iconic microphones to craft your unique tone. Using virtual analogue preamps, you can enhance your recordings with rich analogue saturation and warmth right within your DAW. Additionally, its intuitive widening controls quickly convert mono tracks into expansive stereo images, ideal for creating immersive mixes from vocals, guitars, pianos, or drums.

With the Proximity Slider, you can accurately shape the low-end response of your recordings. This intuitive tool allows you to adjust the bass precisely, giving vocals and instruments the clarity and body they need. Pull it back for tighter, cleaner vocals, or push it forward to deliver fuller, warmer tones. This fine level of adjustment ensures your sound fits exactly right within any mix, offering essential control for professional-sounding tracks without complex setup or external equipment.
Turning a mono recording into a vibrant stereo mix is quick and simple with VMS’s widening capabilities. Ideal for vocals, guitars, or drums that need added space, this feature brings depth and presence to your mix at the click of a button. Without complicated stereo mic setups, you'll achieve clear separation and a natural, immersive listening experience. This straightforward stereo widening provides significant time savings and improved sonic quality, perfect for home producers and professional studios alike.
Craft your unique sonic character by blending two legendary microphone models into one combined tone. Mic Morphing lets you pick the characteristics of classic microphones and mix them precisely to achieve your desired sound. It’s an effective way to create distinctive, memorable tones that sit well in a mix. This ability to customise microphone tones provides huge versatility, allowing you to uniquely enhance each track you record, whether you're crafting a lead vocal or tracking acoustic instruments.
Enjoy rich analogue sound without investing in physical preamps or outboard gear. VMS includes a curated selection of classic virtual preamps that add colour, warmth, and vintage-style saturation directly within your DAW. Whether your recordings need subtle enhancement or bold, saturated character, these virtual preamps offer authentic analogue tones effortlessly. This convenience simplifies your recording workflow, providing authentic analogue flavour at your fingertips, without the cost, complexity, and space required by traditional hardware.
