KVR Audio

I don't mean any disrespect to the dev of this product, but I just gave it a spin and it doesn't sound like it's really doing much to me. I just want a plug in that gives me a bit of tape sound, small traces of wow and flutter, etc. Am I wrong, have I just not messed around with it enough? And while on the subject, does anyone know of any free plugs that give a tape sound? Not particularly a tape delay, but something like tapebus tries to do? Maybe i'll give it a spin some more and see if it is just me.

Thanks!

You probably want more than just 'small' amounts.

I don't think tape bus does wow and flutter anyhow, just tape-type compression/warmth. I could be wrong, not being an owner.

Tapebus is not going for wow and flutter - these are the sorts of things that a high end two track machine is designed to eliminate as far as possible. If you dubbed your digital mix onto a Studer 2 track machine you would get a different sound and Tapebus is a stab at giving you that sort of colouration in a plugin.

Tapebus uses impulse responses from several different tape machines and attempts to replicate the phase response etc of these machines. The different tape options each correspond to a different source impulse.

Tapebus is really good at emulating tape, smadhed mix preset is great on bass and drums.

take a look at the ELOTTRONIX XL.(freeware)

It has a tape section with hiss and so forth...didn`t really get into it yet...but might suit your needs.

Thanks for the help everyone, and to the moderators, I think I put this thread in Instruments first. I was up too late last night so sorry if I did! Thanks everyone for the help, I really needed something that does this, I am working on some stuff.

Could someone help me out with a link so I can download the P1 Tape delay? I searched up on yahoo but I can't seem to find a d/l site, just reviews of it and all. Anybody have a link? Thanks.

You might want to try out Tbt's excellent plug-ins.

Oh yea, I have TBT's EXCELLENT plug ins, and I mean EXCELLENT. I forgot the name of it, but the one just released, sort of like a mix saturator or something, it does wonders for bass.
