Slate Digital RC-Tube

Slate Digital RC-Tube

Slate Digital have become renowned for their exceptional emulations of classic bits of hardware. This chunk of a 1950s broadcast console looks set to continue that trend.

The pack consists of two plugins: Virtual Channel (applied to mixing channels) and Virtual Mixbuss (applied to master fader). The RC Tube Channel is intended to be placed on the inserts of mix channels, and the RC Tube Mixbuss is intended as the first insert on a master fader. Together, this plug-in set is designed to recreate the lovely fat and warm sound of a vintage tube mixer.

Download the demo or purchase the plug-in here

Tonebytes Wowcoder

Tonebytes Wowcoder

Wowcoder is a new VST effect plug-in for Windows that aims to recreate the classic sound of a 16-band vocoder.

There's no internal carrier signal, so you'll have to route your own synth sound through it before you're away singing the hits of Kraftwerk. But for the micro price of€9.99, who's complaining?

Celemony Melodyne Editor 2.0

Celemony Melodyne Editor 2.0

There's some brand new scaling technology, ReWire capability and even more powerful timing tools in this fresh update.

Throwing in the ability to scale music to more than just the standard black and white keys of most western music, Melodyne now adds new True Scale & Tuning functions, that offer those who produce Arab, Indian or contemporary and microtonal music the function set for editing their work with Melodyne.

Timing tools are improved with a new Attack Speed tool, allowing you to edit the starting transients, that are so determinative of the sound – for each note separately.

Available in Novemeber for €399
