VMR Essentials is a powerful yet affordable plugin bundle designed to give producers and engineers some of Slate Digital's most essential analog-modeled tools. It includes three premium Virtual Mix Rack modules, along with a few additional classics that are completely free.
Here's what you get:
🌟 Premium Modules Included in VMR Essentials ($49 Bundle)
FG-2A
Smooth it out. Control dynamics with buttery compression for vocals, bass, and leads without killing the vibe. This module is Slate Digital's take on the classic optical leveling amplifier, perfect for smooth, musical compression.
FG-DS 902
Tame the harsh. Intelligent de-essing that smooths out vocals without dulling your top end. Modeled after a legendary analog de-esser, it's a go-to for controlling sibilance in a mix.
FG-A
Shape with intent. Get precision EQ moves with the analog vibe of a vintage American console. This versatile four-band EQ offers bold, punchy tone sculpting with tons of character.
🚀 Also Included (and Always Free)
When you install VMR Essentials, you'll also get access to the following modules, which are completely free for all users:
-
Revival
Add shimmer and warmth with a single intuitive control. -
Trimmer
Clean and simple input/output gain control. -
The Monster
A beastly parallel compressor inspired by extreme "all-buttons-in" compression. -
FG-Bomber
Add punch, depth, and excitement to drums and full mixes with just 4 knobs. -
AirEQ Air & Earth
Two modules from Eiosis AirEQ. Air adds a silky high-frequency lift, and Earth shapes the low end.
Starting with versions released on October 15, 2026, these modules no longer require a license. They're included with every VMR installation and can be downloaded for free at any time.
