You could at least have mentioned that Slate Digital does in fact require you to use an iLok USB key that you’ll have to purchase if you want to use their “free” software.
I don’t want to have yet another weak link in my ability to use the software I rightfully own, because of an easy to lose or leave behind piece of hardware that you really don’t need. I already had to use my year of recovery allowance from Waves because their installer used the wrong MAC address on my computer and rendered all my licenses useless. That’s all well and good, but I’ve heard far, far too many horror stories about iLoks to trust PACE with my paid or unpaid licenses.
I understand the premise behind iLok: no pirated software means lower prices for everyone because you can’t just get the plugin cracked for free and deny the company payment for their efforts in creating the software. What’s more is that you have to buy it unless you’re also buying a plugin from a company that utilizes iLok, like Slate Digital. You download VMR for free, and you get a fancy iLok activation code, which will only register the free plugin in a paid, massively convoluted anti-piracy platform called iLok, which requires a hardware key that will eat up a USB slot and try its best to break if you do anything besides leave it in the back of your machine. You’ll receive a confirmation when the license is moved to your iLok Dongle. Select your iLok Dongle from the “Activation Location” dialog and click “Activate.”ĥ.
Enter your Activation Code and click “Next.”Ĥ. Click the button in the upper right corner of the window labeled “Redeem An Activation Code.”ģ.
Launch the iLok License Manager and sign in to your account.Ģ. In order to download your iLok license to you iLok Dongle, please go through the following steps: –ġ. This will allow you to register your Slate Digital plugin onto your iLok Dongle.
Please download and install the new iLok License Manager from !license-manager. It needs to be simpler in my opinion, or more clearly explained for the get go. I’ve already spent an hour trying to decipher this.
Furthermore, the Revival is nowhere to be found instead I have l the toolkit with the 15 day trial featuring the full bundle of plug ins. The licences appear on the virtual iDongle (i’m guessing that’s what it is based on the logo) but not my computer. Push the “S” on any module to hear it alone in the signal chain, and hit the “power” button to turn it off.The content is all about the ilok and dongle. You can load up to eight modules at once into VMR, but it’s still easy to solo or mute any of the processing modules you have loaded using the Solo and Power buttons. To A/B the signal chains against each other, just press the A or B button in real time to hear that signal chain in action. Once cloned, you can change some parameters on the alternate path, or even swap out entire modules. With VMR it’s easy to clone an entire signal chain for comparison – just press the right arrow and everything currently on path A is copied to path B. You can also drag to reorder the modules as well. You can easily see all of the processing modules installed in the Library Pane, and you just drag and drop to get them into the signal chain. You can change the vibe, color and sound of your mix with a single click and easily undo and redo your changes. VMR 2.0 comes with seven default Dream Strips, although you can remove them and make your own. Now you can instantly start mixing with the modules you use the most. So whenever VMR 2.0 is launched the leftmost Dream Strip always loads first.
VMR 2.0 opens with your own custom dream channel strip by default. VMR 2.0 ships with the Mix Bundle One, which contains four Slate Digital processing modules: FG-401 Compressor, FG-S EQ, FG-116 FET Compressor and FG-N EQ. But even beyond the sound you can get with VMR 2.0, you also get the added bonus of speed and efficiency from having your entire processing chain in one convenient window. Choose from dozens of modules including vintage modeled EQs, compressors, enhancers, filters, preamps, mixing consoles, and more. VMR 2.0 allows audio engineers to easily create the channel strips of their dreams using a library full of analog modeled plugins.
