Slate has introduced quite a few new thing today that are now added to my studio.
28 New Plugins. Multiband Everything. Endless Effects.
The Kilohearts Bundle adds 28 incredible new multi-FX plugins to the All Access Pass. Many of these individual plugins are truly groundbreaking. For instance, the Transient Designer is by far the best I’ve ever heard and sounds equally as good on individual tracks or full mixes.
.
But it’s the ability to use the 28 plugins in the Multipass and Snap Heap plugin shells that makes this bundle an absolute GAME-CHANGER!
.
Multipass allows you to create your own customized multiband processors using all of the 28 Kilohearts plugins. Let that sink in for a second.
.
Sure, you now have mastering multiband compressors, multiband stereo wideners, multiband distortion / saturators . . . but where it gets really fun and revolutionary is when you start combining everything together and stacking each multiband zone to make custom multiband processes that are impossible in any other tool.
.
Want a multiband processor with saturation and compression on the lows, transient enhancement on the mids, stereo widening on the upper mids, and sustain enhancement on the highs, all at once? No problem!
.
Or even create and use more utility processors like a multiband sidechainer that ducks the low end of the bass every time your kick drum hits, so that your low end gets tight and huge. Pretty cool, right?
.
Equally as cool is the Snap Heap plugin, which allows you to stack four chains of parallel or serial Kilohearts FX to create some unbelievable processors.
And don’t worry, because there are tons of great presets to get you started, including some featured preset plugins we've made like Destructo, a multiband vintage saturator; Smoothinator, a de-harshing plugin; 808 Fattener, which does exactly what the name says; and even a Vintage Tube Compressor, which is a super fat-sounding limiter with a tube output stage.
Sonic Academy’s ANA 2 is the industry’s most groundbreaking synth, with 6 oscillators - including 3 wavetables and 3 samplers - the unique G-Envelope, 46 filter types, 24 built-in FX, and the revolutionary Chord Memory Device System, that offers instant pro chords on single keys to make producing pro tracks faster and more intuitive.
.
ANA 2 comes with over 500 presets, but the Slate All Access Pass version adds another 300 presets created by top sound designers, over 200 custom wavetables, and over 200 custom samples ranging from famous 808s to plucks to special FX.
