Don't pick one great microphone - have them all. The Slate Digital VMS ML-1 modeling microphone recreates the sought-after sounds of classic recording mics.
Overview -
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. Slate Digital is proud to present the Virtual Microphone System -- a hybrid system that utilizes an extremely transparent condenser microphone, a sonically neutral preamp, and a plugin module that works in concert with their hardware to replicate some of the world's finest and most sought-after microphones and preamps.

Hear the Slate VMS ML-1 compared to a $30,000 vintage mic:

The ML-1 microphone is the centerpiece of the Virtual Microphone System. This large-diaphragm mic has a shock-mounted, gold sputtered, 6-micron capsule and a state of the art FET circuit path that ensures the most linear, flat, and clean 'blank canvas' response. Combined with the Slate Digital tube microphone modeling software, it can sound like some of the most classic microphones in recording history. The capsule proximity effect precisely replicates the classic cardioid of vintage large diaphragm mics. The Virtual Microphone System collapses the wall standing between audio engineers and expensive world-class audio tools, allowing them access to the virtual microphone locker of their dreams for under a thousand dollars.

The Virtual Microphone System software consists of the Classic Tubes microphone module, which contains eight classic tube microphone models, the FG-73 British discrete preamp module, and the FG-76 German tube preamp module. None of these processing blocks add any latency to the audio signal, so if you use a low latency interface with VMS you can track through the VMS software without any audible monitoring delay. To accomplish this, Slate Digital recommend a Thunderbolt or fast USB interface, recording at 96khz with the lowest buffer size possible. The combination of the 96khz sampling rate and low buffer size ensures the lowest possible latency. To use the VMS software an iLok version 2 or 3 dongle is required.
