Yes, but, this isn't a rule in the first place. Either wags is misinterpreting what this person said, or, said person simply doesn't know what they're talking about.ATN69 wrote:As Hans Zimmer says, "If there is a rule, break it"
From the manual, as if this even need to be said.
It's a processor that models a tape machine. Anywhere that you want the sound of a tape machine is a fine place for such a model. Maybe you want to stack up ten instances of them in series to get the sound of degraded tape?It is not possible to create a model with this level of detail and flexibility and at the same
time keep its resource demands low. Running Kramer Master Tape does require a fair
amount of system resources as you might expect. If you want to use the plugin on
individual tracks, please do so, as there are no ‘rules’ in our art form. But Kramer Master
Tape may perform best on sub-mixes of drums and percussion, strings, guitars, vocals
and anything that requires analogue ‘warmth and clarity.’ Also, don’t forget what the
plugin could contribute to digitally sampled instruments and digital synthesizers. Many
will find that across an entire mix and especially in mastering, Kramer Master Tape may
prove to be invaluable.
