29:00 - “Talking about plugins”. I enjoyed this part of the video because it gave me ideas as to what/why Steven uses certain plugins/music equipment!

My favorite part was when he told his story with the duplication problem of his samples (12:30) to meet the deadline set by the retailer, it really is the kind of situation every single musician has gone or will go through

29:12 found it interesting talking about the distressor compressor, never knew it was a collection of other compressors all rolled in 1

I met this guy! I drive for Uber and I picked Steven and his SO up after they recorded the first try of this specific podcast. Super cool dude!

12:00 this isn’t really a clip you guys could use for micro content on your instagram but god damn.. I really was blown away by this story about how Steven was able to complete that order. The fact he convinced that store owner to let him stay the night shift to finish that order is just insane. That is the pure determination that is needed to build a company like slate digital or cymatics. You have to do whatever it takes and that’s exactly what he did in that story. Love love love the podcast guys keep killing it can’t wait so see what you guys have in store for 2020

Warren Huart has mentioned Slate Digital a few times... it'll be like a dream come true to win one of their microphones 😩😍

Slate's hustle with the DVD's. He made it happen and still does. Inspiring.

13:00-16:00 Slate pushing through and finding a way to stand by his word to meet a deadline. This story is very encouraging.

One of my favorite parts was between 14:00 and 16:00 the story about doing what he had to do to get the job done. Grinding it out to get the job done even though it seemed like it was impossible. “Don’t give up. fucking hustle.” Then I liked what came after talking about his microphone products, what a great impact on the industry! Hopefully I’ll have many digital mic options in my studio one day.

This was by far my favorite episode you guys have done. 55:40 until the end was great. Steven is a genius, hustler and genuinely a nice guy. Great story but biggest take away from the entire podcast is him talking about 'Value'. Not only from an artist standpoint but as a regular human being. That alone shows the type of man this guy is. Great job with the show. Thanks.

My favorite part was 20:20 where Steven talks about creating value to people you want to work with even outside of a typical “skill” you can offer them.

How did I not know about this channel? Love Cymatics, and love Slate digital. Glad u had steven slate as a guest.

I started mixing not even 30 days ago. The slate all access for me was a no brainer, theyre very intuitive and Steven's Rock course was amazing, he taught me quite a lot! My fav part in the podcast was around the 12:30 mark where Steve tells the story about printing the cds for his samples less than 48hours before he had to ship them! Great podcast guys, good questions, great guest. This was the first i have listened to , ill be sure to check out the rest of your stuff! Cheers from Tampa

I loved the part at 17:21 when Steven talked about how he was belittled and not taken seriously when he came out with the VMS microphone but when he believes in something he doesn't care what people say about him. Great example of perseverance.

49 min mark: being happy abt helping ppl and providing value! Great show boyz

Fav part was the entire thing. This man has inspired me to get out there and do more. Thanks for this awesome channel guys.

39:50 I liked when he was talking about the current music industry, because he is clearly very optimistic about the new opportunities, whereas a lot of people are skeptical.

I enjoyed using the analog EQs FG-A and FG-N 35:00. How Mike Dean uses them to bring a vibe to his tracks.

- - - - - - 38:22 Where he pulls out his phone and sends a text to a well known producer. I fully believe in the power of networking and that was a prime example of it - - - - - - -

Favourite moment is 27:27. Using psychological mind tricks to get other people to agree with your idea. I need that SLATE MICROPHONEEEEE HAHA

23:37 This is by far the best question and answer of the whole segment. Having a plan and the ability to respond to changes and hurdles that your team comes across is vital to having a successful project, business, etc. The success both of your companies have experienced is madly inspiring and it’s magnetic to listen to you guys break down what drives your vision and mission.

Slate is such a legend. 15:13 is my favorite part. He busted his ass for those drum samples and it was the beginning of a lot of successes for him. I love to hear that being someone working a full time job and side hustling producing

11:38 really plugs the "you have to work hard for what you love" cable in my mind, but darn this is one of my favorite podcasts yet! Even if you aren't in the music industry this applies, it really pushes realistic business planning and the right mindset and psyche to have when putting yourself out there to do what you want or need to do to be happy and live the life that makes you happy.

I like Steven Slate's story about how he made it in the music industry from 4:50 to 9:33. It's a great reminder that while it's always important to have a dream/passion you want to pursue and to have the confidence and perseverance to pursue it, it's also equally as important to be open to whatever opportunities are presented to you and to fully maximize and utilize your skill sets, so that you can carve a path in the music industry that is really meant for you, even if it's a path that you weren't initially expecting to go on. Great podcast episode, guys! I'm glad that I finally got to see the man behind one of the best and most highly in-demand plugin companies in the music production community right now.

My favorite moment was at 12:45 minutes. Hearing Steven tell his story about how he worked through the night with his assistant to get the job done. It inspired me to want to adopt that mindset if not giving up, because ultimately there is always a solution for everything. This is my favorite episode & you guys have a lot of amazing interviews so that’s saying alot. Keep up the good work guys.

My favorite part was around 51:00 when you guys talked about the live meet ups. I went to the Cymatics meet up in LA and i couldnt possibly explain to you in a yt comment on how much this meet up changed my life and valued me as a producer and a person. I got the chance to play my music to a room full of people for the first time ever. I meet so many great people and producers. They also gave the first 500 ppl a free usb with tons of samples on it. If Cymatics comes near your city i highly suggest going to their event its nothing but value.

14:00 when Steven tells the story how he had to run the machines all night. Awesome story and great podcast guys!! Very inspiring.

Btw love the slate plugins. I could really use a slate microphone to add to my studio. 😄

ALSO the fact that Slate's microphones are basically numerous microphones in one - so i can get my favourite Shure sm57 sound along with sounds like those of Neumann damn that's my dream microphone 💖 also maybe they got the SM7B that y'all are using in every podcast 😉

The whole story and message about the hustle @12:00 is so inspiring. some of the best things that have ever happened to me have been where i've chosen to break through that plateau instead of packing my shit and taking the L. every choice is a fork in the road, so pick one, don't turn back.

I see so much of myself in Steve, man... a creative at heart, but knows that his hustle and entrepreneurial spirit can help his fellow creatives express themselves 👍🏻 it’s amazing

My favorite part was 25:25 because your free sample packs is how I found about you and now I own many of them and a few paid ones (Jawz is my favorite, need part 2) so your marketing is working great. Contests are also awesome way to give upcoming artists a spotlight to show their skills.

AND SHOUT TO STEVEN SLATE, STRAIGHT GENIUS!!!! AND SO IS THE CYMATICS TEAM KEEP STAYING TRUE. YALL ALWAYS KEEP IT 1,000!!!

this one is probably the most exciting for me as a recording engineer and a guy who's obsessed with analogue gear and microphones and stuff, it's supercool to see Steven Slate from Slate Digital on this 'cast. thankyou Cymatics 😍

43:53 The Culture Vibe!! Nobody really talks about this. I’m glad you guys talked about this. Toxic energy kills creativity flow.

These podcasts are so slept on, so many dense gems. Loved 30:30 when he was naming all the industry standard mics, and how non linear dynamics can be coded 🤯

My favourite part is where Steven talked about hiring people to his company! And the interviews they do with people who apply for job. Such an experienced guy!

I’m so glad you guys got Steven Slate in! I was literally using his stuff in a mix this morning. Amazing plugins. Great question about his worst experiences in the music industry. Especially the disc manufacturing story that wraps up at 16:05. Goes to show how much perseverance matters!

Thank you all for the priceless information. I discovered cymatics last December and I always run out of data bundles before I run out of content to watch here since data is expensive here in Africa. Mic modelling 30:20 is some fascinating stuff, a game changer. I record local artists here in the village I reside but the quality of the Chinese mic is really bad. Thanks for introducing me to slate digital. Am definitely getting their mic when I blow up and make enough money.

1:07:40 (in the Apple Podcast app): His mix tip about having a "rip folder" with all the best mixes in every genre is gold.

My favorite part is when Steven tells his story of staying up all night and duplicating thousands of DVD’s. It shows how dedicated he is to his products and makes me happy that I’ve been using Slate products for years!!

Favourite part of the show (apart from the whole thing) was just hearing the inspiring stories and soaking up the positive energy and motivation, great show.

Wow my favorite part? Pretty much the whole thing. Very inspirational but one part that stood out the most is the story of explaining his determination with making copies of his samples over night at 14:35. Before I watched this I wrote the words “Don’t Fold” (Don’t give up). Thank y’all for everything y’all do. So much free stuff but on top of that all the information and showing us how y’all create the great stuff you provide for us. Amazing

Best part, story about staying up all night crankin' discs starting at 11:42

This made me even more of a Slate fan! I like where Steve talked about how he got his start by interning. I have been encouraging young adults to apprentice/volunteer in the field they want to go into for at least a summer... Get a taste of what you will be doing. I also liked how he talked about the "culture" of a business. The personalities and passion are huge to the success of a company! A Raven and Mic are next on my list!

One of the best podcasts I’ve seen Very motivating

My favorite part was in the audio only section (yes, people listen on spotify haha) I think his description of how to more effectively use reference tracks was amazing. This dude is the epitome of grind and mindset. This was one of my favorite episodes so far! Thanks fellas!

First off want to say I DO LISTEN ON SPOTIFY this is the only podcast I actually subscribe to. Favourite part of this episode was the story about running the CD duplicator overnight to make the delivery deadline at 12:00 minutes in. That's badass.

or when Mike Dean responds at 53:09 that was rad too

My favorite part is around 14:00 when is explaining how he could deliver all the cd samples and basically teaching we should not give up when we face some unexpected situation

My favorite part was 12:08 that capability to adapt to the situation ,he said before , find what you are capable to do or give that others don’t , that way you become valuable. I found that anecdote to ve a really nice example of that. Thanks for the content guys as always great guest and insightful knowledge

15:07 was impactful for me and probably everyone who just loves music. The whole video was inspiring to see two huge factors in the music industry spreading priceless knowledge and stories that give the rest of us hope. Thanks for another awesome episode fellas

Best pod cast yet 🔥

I would have to say at 8:24 when Steven talks about the call he received from Mike Shipley, its so inspiring to see how through that call there was that "breaking point" which all of us producers are commited to reach at one point, its defenitely motivating.

This was a great one, love his mentality. My favorite part of this episode was at 56:40 when talking about reciprocation of value.

Favorite part at 37:00 when slate pulled out his phone to ask what effect was on travis scott vocals. That's a good quality person man

Haa, it's so cool! At the starting of video in steven slate's back is day! While the end its almost night! Time laps: 0:00 -- 1:01:32

31:45 when slate is talking about the story behind the mic he created its dumb inspiring. Been thinking about upgrading from my first mic the rhode nt1a this year. And this interview solidified which company im going with.

Sheeeeesh, waaaay too much valuable insight here. Favorite's gotta be 27:35 - being in a band is an INTENSE learning experience and damn, it IS a relationship/marriage....

Great interview. Every project i ever work on is funneled through a variety of slate products. The microphone would be a nice addition to the arsenal.

Good stuff, it's interesting to watch the guests you have and listen to their history. Thanks for the vid

Love these interviews CYMATICS

13:00 That story is amazing!!! I would definitely edit this down to a bite size clip with a caption about not giving up or required hussle. The chops in the edit would have people wanting to hear the full story as well. This is one of my favorite podcasts you guys have done for sure. I worked in studio last year, the engineer had the Raven with VMS mic set up and it was insane hearing him flick through the different mic emulations. you can literally take your recording and put it through different classic mics to find which one fits your mix the best or has the coloring you prefer etc Really mind blowin' technology man!!!!

To me the most important moment was when he talked about his Drum sample pack and how he was going to deliver those copies. He showed us not to give up just because something went wrong. He kept trying till he got them delivered. I really love Slate Digital products....

00:00 to 1:01:33 is my fav part, without doubt. Big up to Steven for his hard work in the music industry and for You guys- good talk as always.

At 27:15 where he is talking about being in a band and the people skill you learn there. And the marriage aspect and psychology play together with the band. I also like at 16:55 when he is talking about the MIC modelling to, it's so fucking genius. How other engineers where shitting on the idea and he just pushed through. This man is fucking crazy in the best possible way! The slate ML-1 is my dream mic and I would fucking love to get my hands on it! Would take my songs to the next fucking level!

Love it when he talks about the old microphones and the burning cd story

32:35 - I thought it was awesome to hear the background and thought process behind the microphone modeling. It is amazing what those are capable of! I would have never dreamed, way back in high school fiddling with my tascam 8 track, that something like that would exist someday! Also, a humble thank you for all you guys do for the producer community! You bring so much good to so many people!!

57:45 I’m inspired by hearing that more and more people are sharing there tips and tricks. I have defiantly grown far more than I would have I you all kept these secrets. So thank you for that!

19:00 was my favorite part Truly what I needed at the moment

Just got my mic it's so great! Awesome podcast

incredible podcast. can't decide between 4:00 where he talks about analogue emulsions, and 50:35 which was just too inspiring, for me at least. thankyou for the podcast ❤️ i hope i win the microphone 🤤😍 and ALSO along with 4:00 and 50:35 i love how he describes analogue equipment in 36:11. damn i just LOVE when ppl talk good about consoles, microphones, interfaces etc

7:12 is my favourite moment; the realisation that there are thousands of other producers with the same goals as me. I need to find a way to differentiate myself from the competition.

y’all talked about the north star and that really helped me put in perspective all the things I have been doing in the past few years seeing that I’m really moving forward towards something. ~26:00

I like that DVD duplicating story around 16:09

14:46 was my favorite moment. That is a good philosophy that I want to start using in my life “if the world depended on it how would I get it done” so good

Love the advice on convincing parents towards music by also doing something "safe" while you figure out your music career!

I enjoy his drums program and have a strong desire to get the Virtual Mix Rack bundle someday.

11:39 the ultimate motivation comes from within and if u are hell-bent to do it, it gets done

15:12 THE HUSTLE POWER, it is about not giving up and make it happen!

Love how Slate talks about value at 54:00 I think its important for people to hear

My favorite part was definitely the end when you guys talked about the plugins because I had a situation like that but I was being the “stingy” one even tho I still gave the information I didn’t necessarily want too

The legend! Man...I like the 0:05 lost episode discussion. 🤣😂

6:30 when he talks about loving the process of creating and then the rest of this journey. This dude is cool as hell.

19:04 love hearing how people start out, but it really is simply knowledge and practice.

20:00 some inspiration right there

LIKE THE WAY YOU GUYS AT CYMATICS KEEP HELPING AND BLESSING... 36:40- 37:10

14:47 Gems 🔥 if it needs to get done, you just gotta get it done. That “PERFECT!” Sounds like Street Fighter.

i've almost finished watching the thing. i'll comment my favourite part soon 😍 20 minutes left

Thank you!

The part when he talks about the DNA that gives analog things it's unique sound is great (listened to spotify in car so didn't get timestamp :/)

Steven Slate's a boss! 🔥

24:01 - 24:32 The art of proving it to yourself. The ultimate hustle move.

31:05 discussing mic character and how harmonic distortion come into play while coding to make the emulation as close as possible. shit blows my mind

6:30 Pretty inspiring.. did what he loved even though he had to hide it from his parents

Don’t give up. Overcoming obstacles. You need to put the effort in to succeed and do whatever it takes. (11:55)

Legendary. I like the part from 0:00-1:01:33

55:34 The whole concept of Value will always be the paradigm to move forward in our current generation, creating an atmosphere of abundance and surrounding yourself with people that do the same make the world a better place. It became very evident for me watching @GaryVee and to see you guys do it in the audio world with other like-minded individuals makes this topic an affirmation... in fact the reason I keep coming back to your products and content =) Thank you

When he talks about the mic modelling, he is genius

14:00 love a good redemption story, lol @ the steven slate tat if he gets mike dean on xD

OHHH WOW you're giving away a MICROPHONE!

Fucking Steven Slate. Damn you guys killing it . About 50:00 minutes in. Value is so important. Something you guys do beyond belief and inspire me to do the same.

Great episode guys! 23:03 - l ike that thought about keeping something in the passion category, which is particularly hard when it comes to music and art. Because in order to create something special, we can`t follow a formula that we repeat all over again and it creates something special everytime, we need passion and inspiration to great something unique. But the biggest enemy of that passion is the pressure we put on ourselves by focussing more on the outcome and the (financial) return of stuff we create. Keeping a good balance, especially when music is your job, and still finding the passion and creating space for inspiration is one of the biggest challenges for artists/producer/musicians that are making a living from music. Pretty often I think there is a wonderful freedom in not having to achieve anything with music and just doing it for fun. And we all know that there are quite some famous artists in the past who did not give a f*** and just succeeded because of that. :)

Right at the beginning.. I found some insane products I didn’t know existed to check out. 🔥🔥 @0:00
