Really happy you made this video as I just got the VSX for Christmas. This, along with the VMS, makes a nice virtual IN -to- OUT pipeline! One thing I'd like to see improved in VMS is the option to enable a little highlight of the speakers that are being heard when we click the corresponding field button.

Awesome review! I love the Slate philosophy. I have the mic, and I reach for it over mics that cost 3 times as much. I will order these headphones asap 👍 Sounds like it will be a huge improvement to my workflow. Also, I think you were spot on with your ideas about collaboration. If the folks you are working with hear the same source, it takes the guesswork out of it! Great job!

Hi Austin, another great video, thanks a lot! Could you perhaps at some point do a video about how to create or find(?) the kind of sounds Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler used in the Brent EPs throughout the songs? Like for instance in Emily this sort of flute like intro synth sound, I don't have the slightest idea on how to re-create that. So in short, maybe a video on how to create sort of ambient foley sounds would be really awesome! I think this would help a lot of people aiming for this sort of style! Thank you so much! Miranda as well!

I got these recently and I do really like the whole system... but did you find that most, if not all of the rooms, have a bit of harshness in the upper mids (around 3kHz) compared to when you bypass to HD linear? I used ear profile 2 and pulled the LH on the EQ almost all the way down to get a bit flatter sound.

Hey Austin! Quick question, i just got a pair of Slate VSX headphones and the audio levels coming out of my M Audio Air Hub 192 are just very low (VSX plugin is on the master track as instructed). However when i plug the VSX straight into my laptop directly (Macbook pro 2021 m1 max) i get WAY more gain than my M Audio Air Hub. I take it this is an issue with the Air Hub and not ableton correct?

Seems to me like cutting soundstage out of the equation is going to mess with mixing... Open back planars would be able to give you that plus faster tighter lowend transient detail... While i don't doubt that the package as is will help translate a mix .....i can't help but think you'd be getting a lot more subtle but very helpful detail and information with a higher quality set of cans. I don't doubt this is a great option at this price point.
