Available for download, the Slate Digital Virtual Preamp Collection provides two modules for the VMR 2.0 Ecosystem that are also compatible with the original version of VMR. Both plug-ins are models of famous preamps and can be used in recording and mixing contexts. Two preamps are included: The FG-73 and the FG-76.

The FG-73 preamp module is modeled after a well-regarded discrete, solid-state preamp made in Britain and used on countless recordings. It has a bold, present, and warm sound that works well on many audio sources, including full mixes. A trim knob and a virtual drive knob are provided, as is a phase-reversal button.

The FG-76 is modeled after a vintage German tube preamp that has been used on many classic recordings. It has a thick and colorful tone that can make tracks and mixes sound more lively. The bottom end saturates in a musical way, making it a great module for bass guitar and kick-drum tracks. Drive, trim, and phase-reversal are provided again here.

These modules operate within the VMR (Virtual Mix Rack) plug-in. When you want to use it in your DAW, simply instantiate the VMR plug-in, and you'll be able to access the Virtual Preamp Collection, as well as any other VMR plug-in that you currently own or have a subscription. These modules are Mac and Windows compatible. They can operate in VST, AU, and AAX formats. An iLok 2 or 3 is required to run them.
