Slate Digital - Virtual Mix Rack

Quote from Michael_dk

Depending on needs, I don't think it's necessary to commit to the big boys, as long as you DO commit For somebody doing simple mixing, editing and recording, many of the smaller daws will work perfectly fine.

I basically agree with you.
That said, I just bought a Slate Raven MTI2 to improve the workflow in my DAW in the sense of a more immediate and effective experience.
When I talk about better committing to the big boys, Raven software supports Protools, Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase and Studio One from the start. Others will surely follow, but I'm not sure Harrison Mixbus will be one of them.

Yeah, Raoul, it's pretty awesome and I enjoy it immensely!
Some things don't work as intended yet I think. Primarily the multi touch mixer freezes quite often. Could be because I'm on El Capitan which is not officially supported yet.
Will report this over at their forums.

Waiting for VMS, own SSD4 and aiming for "everything" subscription.

Can't say a bad thing about Slate.

When you mentioned the "Big Boys" earlier, Inglof, you neglected to mention my beloved Digital Performer. That's understandable in Europe, so you're forgiven in full.

I realise that DP's market share isn't big, but it has been around for over 30 years, making it, as far as I'm aware, the oldest music application of any sort available anywhere... and it still opens projects from 1984.

Of course, Raven supported DP from day one too.

Just doin' my job of waxing lyrical about my fave DAW, brother.

Slate VMR & S-Gear... love it. Wonderful to have them both in the same place. Used to be a SSD4 fan as well, but that plugin hasn't seen any updates for a long time and I finally had to let it go. Great kits, though.

Here's a recent Devin Townsend Band project that leans heavily on VMR & S-Gear; one or the other is on nearly every track and bus. My recordings usually start out on the Kemper with good intent, but succumb to S-Gear in the end because it's more convenient for reamping in-the-box and sounds great. Cheers!

Hey guys...im still interested in the new Raven.

Is this only Mac so far?

Im running a Windows 7 PC with Cubase 8.5

There's a Windows beta that Raoul is apparently using, but I don't know how stable it is. You'll have to ask him. @Raoul23 ?

Yes i'm using the windows beta, On the slate forum it was mentioned that windows support is coming soon, end of Feb i think. The Raven is awesome i'm slowly getting used to where things are and how it works. I cant recommend it enough its made my workflow quicker but i did have to change the way i work a little

Great i think i will get one in a few months when its ready

Can i still connect my regular monitor at the same time to have 2 monitors running?

Yes I think so. The Raven is connected by HDMI.
