Slate Digital releases free sample packs multiple times per year (typically), and I can never fault the quality.ĬAICOS is a Hip-Hop sample pack, which, as you might guess from the title and imagery, has an island feel. CAICOS is available for FREE download until March 2nd, 2022. You’ll need an iLok account or dongle for activation.Slate Digital offers CAICOS, a royalty-free Hip-Hop sample pack in WAV format. The plug-in runs on macOS 10.12 or higher and Windows 8 or higher in VST, VST3, AU and AAXformats. There’s also an annual subscription with monthly billing, which is USD 9.99 for the first six months and USD 14.99 from then onwards. It’s also included in the company’s All Access Pass, which is USD 24.99/month with no commitment or USD 149/yearwhen paid upfront for a year. Those who like to buy their software outright can now purchase metaTune for USD 199. But it does have a couple of features that stand out – especially if you’re looking for an easy-to-use tool for hard-hitting tuning effects. Is Slate Digital metaTune really the best? In the end, that comes down to personal taste and the specific applications. Changes to one instance are then reflected in all other instances in the same group, which makes it easy to manage your tuning settings across several tracks. This lets you assign each instance of the plug-in to one of four groups. One feature that could be a huge time saver is Groups. And it allows you to activate the integrated Doubler effect for a wider and thicker sound.
In the center of the GUI is what Slate calls “The Orb”, which is another way to control the speed and amount. And there’s a note stabilizer that gets rid of unwanted fluttering effects. The speed can actually be set to negative values for even faster, more brutal quantizing. While it can of course provide gentle pitch correction, metaTune seems to be geared more towards the popular in-your-face Auto-Tune effects that dominate the charts. The familiar Speed and Amount controls on the right determine how fast and how strongly metaTune goes to work on your audio material.
This helps to find the key and also provides a visual representation of how well your singer hits each note. There’s a little keyboard for setting the key and scale, and a feature called Heat Maps that displays the actual notes of the recording in relation to the keys. On the surface, it looks similar to many other Auto-Tune-style effects. But what is it that makes metaTune stand out from the crowd? The company says that metaTune is “the world’s hardest hitting tuner ever”. Will we have to update our list of the best pitch correction plug-ins? According to Slate Digital, it may be time to do just that.
