Singer/Songwriter Greta Karen performing her song "Nothing" with the Slate Digital Virtual Microphone System live at NRG studios in Los Angeles, CA. http://www.slatedigital.com What if you could own some of the world's greatest vintage microphones and preamps? Imagine a mic locker filled with some of the most sought after vintage and modern tube mics, making it easy to find the perfect microphone for your source. Well of course, there has always been a major obstacle in achieving such a dream: To collect these types of microphones could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well... that's about to change. We are proud to announce the Virtual Microphone System – a hybrid system that utilizes an extremely transparent condenser microphone, a sonically neutral preamp, and state of the art digital plugin that recreates the tone of classic microphones and preamps. The Virtual Microphone System collapses the wall between audio engineers and world class audio tools, allowing them to have access to the virtual microphone locker of their dreams. In this video, singer Greta Karen sings live through the VMS's FG-47 mic and FG-73, as well as some EQ and Compression in the Slate Digital Virtual Mix Rack. The piano uses two VMS systems with the FG-251 mic, FG-76 tube mic preamp, as well as some EQ and Compression.

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF MICROPHONES
Imagine having a world-class mic locker full of the most classic microphones from the history of the recording industry.
Well, you can stop imagining.
We are proud to announce the Virtual Microphone System – a hybrid system that utilizes an extreme- ly transparent condenser microphone, a sonically neutral preamp, and a plugin module that works in concert with our hardware to replicate some of the world’s finest and most sought-after microphones and preamps.
ML-1
The ML-1 is an extremely high definition, ultra linear, large diaphragm condenser microphone. It has extremely precise transparent reproduction, flat frequency response, and super wide bandwidth, making it the ideal blank canvas on which to impart the colorful vibe of classic tube and condenser microphones. The capsule proximity effect precisely replicates the classic cardioid of vintage large diaphragm mics.
VMS-ONE
To ensure that the ML-1 avoids any color when recorded to the workstation, we created the VMS-ONE preamp. Using state-of-the-art amplifiers, this super linear and clean circuit preamp is the final step in ensuring that the purest signal is created, giving the VMS plugin module the opportunity to add the perfect reproduction of classic microphones and preamps.
VMS PLUGIN MODULE
The final piece of the Virtual Microphone System is the VMS plugin module. This module turns the ultra clean signal coming from the VMS hardware into classic recreations of famous microphones and microphone preamps. It accomplishes this through extremely complex algorithms that are the result of a groundbreaking new physical modeling process that is ultimately tuned by ear. The VMS algo-
rithms add zero latency, so recording in real-time through the emulations is easy on a new powerful native system.
