Giants – Electronic Drums Processing with Slate Digital Plugins
About this video
This video walks through the Slate Digital plugin chain I used to process the electronic drums in my "Giants" instrumental remake (True Damage / League of Legends).
The processing chain includes:
- FG-Grey Compressor on the kick bus for punch and control
- VMR (Virtual Mix Rack) loaded with Revival (for bottom-end enhancement) and the FG-S Equalizer on the kick aux
- Fabfilter Pro-Q with Left-Right EQ technique on Snare 1 for stereo width
- Verbsuite Classics reverb on the snare bus
- Virtual Tape Machine on the master drum bus for analog saturation
- Final VMR chain with FG-N EQ, FG-401 Compressor, and Revival for glue
I'm a big fan of Slate Digital for mixing — their plugins give me the analog-style warmth and control I need while keeping the workflow fast and flexible in Pro Tools.
