The VMR Essentials Black Friday deal from Slate Digital takes 50% off this effects bundle, so it costs $24.50 until Nov 15, 2026.
VMR Essentials is a set of channel strip modules that live in one rack. Slate Digital's pitch is that you can drag modules in, rearrange them on the fly and dial in a sound fast.
The maker describes it as pro tools in one rack, covering vintage-style EQs through to modern limiters in a single customizable interface.
The module list from the maker:
FG-2A is billed as buttery compression that controls dynamics without killing the vibe.
The Monster is the one to reach for when subtle won't cut it, according to Slate Digital. It adds aggressive punch to drums, room mics or buses.
Revival adds airy highs and thick lows in seconds, and the maker calls it a go-to sonic enhancer.
You build a channel strip by dropping modules into the rack and moving them around as you go. The maker says a strip can come together in seconds.
FG-A handles precision EQ moves, and FD-DS 902 is there to tame harsh content. Trimmer sits at the front or anywhere else in the chain to set levels so the next module gets the input you want.
You can save and load complete signal chains, for instance one for drums and another for vocals. That keeps your starting point the same from session to session.
The bundle also comes with presets from Grammy-winning engineers, and Slate Digital says new ones are added regularly. They give you a place to start before you adjust the gain stage and the individual modules.
