So in this way Slate is reproducing the working style of the studios of yesteryear-something doesn't sound right? - try another mic/preamp etc, except this time its digital. Or rather, it was easier and accepted practice to "manipulate" it by selection of mic and preamp etc. But maybe the reason that engineers did this is that, unlike today with digital technology, was it wasn't possible to manipulate the eq and saturation exactly like that after recording. For example, a particular mic with mid range bump and saturation sounded good in a mix with other instruments. Before digital, engineers used microphones to zero in on desirable sounds. However, I wonder if its a little bit of the case of the "iron horse" (early car designs imitated horses because horses were what people were familiar with "driving"). The Virtual Microphone system is a great concept and it looks very attractive. I use his drum samples all the time and they are top notch. ![]()
