Slate is a weak brand Slate is a company that releases products at $999 to drop the price to $499 couple years later. I lost all my trust in this company after buying the VML-1 a great product that lost half its value, which is the opposite of what strong brands like Neumann produces. The plugin offer is ridiculous you can't buy a plugin below $200 but you are pushed to subscribe to the all access that I personally do not want.

Great Mixing Powerhouse I started to use Slate's Trigger 2 a few years ago when I was at university and I really loved the quality and user experience of the product. Years later, when I became more experienced and with a more trained ear, I invested a little money in the all access pass for one year. Since then, many plugin became my go to and a staple in my workflow. I use the Virtual Mix Mix Rack on basically any source due to its great Analog flavour and versatility. The price tag is great! highly recommended

Please find a solution soon Please find a solution soon! I mean really soon for the iLok Dongle for perpetual licenses. It makes having the few Slate plugins I own useless. I really hate the Dongle. I have over 600 license from other companies that can either use the cloud or machine licensing. It’s been almost a year since you said you were working on a solution. Come on already! Get her done!

Dear Slate-Digital-Team! Dear Slate-Digital-Team! As a user I was confident in the subscription kind of thing that SD offers from the beginning. It gives a little bit of a feeling to invest in the company and the software that is being developed. Nearly any of those software plugins is useful in my daily workflow. Personal drawback could be the awareness "just to own a license and not a valid product." But as the quality compared to other such products maintains -future looks bright. Best regards

Steady Slate customer for around 5 years so far… I've been a Slate customer for around 5 years so far. The All-Access Pass, VSX and the Steven Slate Drums packages are all state of the art, easy to use, have concise tutorials if you're not sure how to use something and their support team is prompt, professional and knowledgeable. Although I am pretty much just a hobbyist, I have been mixing music off and on since the 1970s. I trust Slate. I think you can too!
