REQ: Slate Digital VIRTU

VIRTU™, a new web-based assisted mastering service from Slate Digital, is the final step of your music-making journey. Combining the trusted technology and expertise of Slate Digital with curated Style profiles and easy-to-use Advanced Controls to deliver a streaming-ready master, VIRTU takes the guesswork out of mastering. Give your mix the clarity, space, and depth it deserves to make it sound as good as any song on the charts.

Match Your Favorite Tracks

VIRTU’s Reference Track feature adds another layer of customization to the mastering process. Upload the track you’d like to reference (WAV only) and VIRTU will match its EQ curve and Loudness profile. Using a Reference Track will allow users to shape their sound beyond the included Genre profiles, so each track sounds exactly how you want it to.

Expertly-Crafted, Curated Curves

Give your track the final touch it deserves. Virtu lets you take the wheel of your mastering process with the Advanced Controls and dial it in to taste. The EQ curves and compression algorithms have been calibrated by Slate Digital’s team of experts by hand (and ear), and take inspiration from some of our most beloved emulations, like FG-Dynamics, FG-2A, and FG-Stress.

Intelligent Analysis Delivers Peak Perfection

VIRTU’s intelligent mastering process is sensitive to each track. During the analysis phase, it measures key signal properties (i.e. Peak, RMS, and Average) on different frequency bands to retrieve information about the track's tonal balance, loudness, and dynamic range. That information helps determine the set EQ curves, multiband compression ratio & threshold, limiter gain, and other key parameters that will define your final master.
