Slate Pro Raven MTX




Hello recording engineers & studios,

How interesting is it to think about the future of mixing consoles and recording devices. We live in an ever changing world of technology were anything is possible. It is very exciting to see this all-new innovative product in motion. We can now move faders and adjust our sessions much faster and smoother with the touchscreen Raven MTX. Let me give you a better understanding over the unit and what it is exactly that I like about this product.

When I was first starting out as a recording engineer it was easy to get confused and lost within the DAW and everything seemed so difficult. After months of learning and reading books about Pro Tools and other DAWs I thought how unique would it be if I could simply move the controls with my fingers like one would do with a physical console. With the Raven MTX there are many wonderful shortcuts and commands that are only a finger push away.



Here we are with the first of its kind and it too looks a little daunting. However, after watching some of the tutorials from NAMM 2013 I feel that making this transition would be good in the long run. It looks as if the options here are limitless. I feel that Slate Pro has redefined the world of recording and believe that the studio is on its way to new curves and innovating designs. I like the sleek look and its capability of integration on a large scale in regards to consumers with many different DAWs and software. I would have to say that my favorite thing about the Raven MTX is the hotkeys commands and how easy it is to use. Instead of clicking Shift-Command-N one can simply store this 3 key command as one button push on the screen.


I hope you enjoyed my short overview of the all-new Slate Pro Raven MTX.

Cheers, Joshua
