Use the 'Launch' parameter to transparently increase your tracks punch and dynamics, without unbalancing the mix. With Level, you can use the Transient knobs to fine-tune your mix transients. Then make a list of what Reaper already has and start with the things that it doesn't. Slate Digital's FG-X includes the FG Level maximization plug-in and the FG Dynamics compression plug-in. If I recall, the Reaper compressor is halfway decent and has side-chaining capabilities and some decent overall flexibility, so get to know that and it might take you far. Don't be in a hurry to spend money just because you think something might be better. you can start with a lot of the effects that are built-in and take your time demoing other plugins to gradually replace them as you get to know what you like. If I wasn't using so many UAD plugins, I think FabFilter would be where I'd look for general plugins. I have a few Voxengo plugins, but I don't use them as often as the UAD stuff. I've checked out FabFilter and they come highly recommended, and heard good things about Melda Productions stuff. I like having the added power the cards provide, but some consider them a huge dongle. I have NI Komplete and a few others and am well covered for a variety of things.įor just general processing plugins. and maybe someone can recommend something along those lines. If you are into synths, list the types of sounds you are looking for, genres, etc. (I have several and EZD2 combines ease of use with flexibility in a way that I like.) Seems like the best entry level bang-for-the-buck drum player out these days.

Feel free to discuss anything related to Slate Digital and Steven Slate Audio Slate Audiophiles is moderated by representatives from both companies. If you want drums I'd recommend EZ Drummer 2, especially if you can find it on sale. Slate Audiophiles Guidelines Slate Audiophiles was created by fan Gabrijel Prusina. When it comes to plugins, are you looking for synths or more along the lines of effects?

more of a cross-grade (and maybe even a downgrade, but it's been awhile since I've even tried Pro Tools.) Sure it probably includes more plugins to get you started, but even Reaper has a lot of the basics covered to get going.
Steven slate fgx purchase upgrade#
I wouldn't consider Pro Tools an upgrade from Reaper. (There are things I prefer in Reaper, but just don't spend enough time with it to learn it overall as well as SONAR, if you know what I mean.) To me Reaper is mean and lean and I love the folder/routing structure you have. I have that as well and use it some, but it's kind of a pain to switch over when I already know SONAR so well.

I primarily use SONAR, but if I were starting now I'd probably pick Reaper.
