Can't confirm that on my i7 920. Here one instance on a stereo bus in Win7 and C7.04 barely eats 5% ASIO on 256samples (RME).TheoM wrote:Only thing is cpu usage is not friendly, with asio guard or logic safety buffer active you're talking a good 20% per instance of a sandy bridge core. So regardless of latency i'll still first try max out my UAD with studers..
Delay is actually pretty straight forward if you used something like the Roland Space Echo before.TheoM wrote:The flange i can not get my head around quite yet, nor the delay. I'll be buying this for the straight up tape emu, but heck i have only spent 20 mins with it and 18 of those with the studio module.
There's still an FR to reduce the latency with a VTM update. Though other Slate plugns have higher prio atm.TheoM wrote:I was about to say there is now no reason for anyone not to go ahead and buy satin which is cheaper than VTM and has hardly any latency (VTM has over 30ms!)
Feature wise, yes. Sound wise, I can't agree on that yet.TheoM wrote:Overall though, this is an absolute VTM annihilator. Sorry Steven.
Two totally different beasts.
Haven't thought about that actually. Then again, the EQ itself is a bit broad. Though then again(!), it could be used as general channel EQ fingerprint like VCC and the likes.chokehold wrote:The goodies hiding behind the Service Panel (anyone remember AM|Track?) let you use it as an EQ, a saturator, dynamics tool, transient shaper... And that is just in Studio mode, completely ignoring the Flanger and Delay modes.

Someone summed it up pretty well in here (or in the other thread) already:
SATIN is a toolbox, like Zebra and Diva. It's initial idea is to be a tape plugin, but it can be so much more. It takes the idea from an emulation further - much like "Variety of Sound" (bootsie) did with his creations.
And I like that. Though I still wish there'd be slower tape speed to recreate that old cassette type feel.
Tapes, if driven right, can be used as compressors. This is the reason why so many oldschool people still swear about them. Also don't forget that the Noise Reduction modules are actually a compressor and expander.V0RT3X wrote:lol no need for a bus compressor after satin then? Its that good?
And on a totally unrelated sidenote:
The KVR "featured plugin" is currently a tape machine. Coincidence?
if I buy this now, do I get the full version? with presets? not like I'll need them
