It is additionally squeezed through esoteric pedals and high-end multi-FX and outboard, with everything recorded through premium AD conversion. The sounds range from creamy to raw and gritty, but always with a tasteful attitude that delivers new dimensions to your music, whatever the style.

The VCC RC-Tube plugin is an authentic emulation of a classic 1950's all tube broadcast console. The RC Tube Channel is intended to be placed on the inserts of your mix channels, and the RC Tube Mixbuss is intended as the first insert on your master fader. Together, this plugin package will recreate the sound of a vintage tube mixer, giving your mix a rich, fat, warm, and deep sound that until now, was unattainable with a 100% digital mixer.
Authentic Modeling

Slate Digital CTO Fabrice Gabriel employed new state of the art analog modeling techniques to capture the sound of this classic tube mixer in the digital domain. Using the same techniques required to model the four analog consoles in the Virtual Console Collection plugin, Fabrice managed to emulate the exact sonic characteristics in a nonlinear and dynamic way, including such precise details as tube saturation response and crosstalk.
