Anyone compared this with the overloud tape deck plugin?

I can't begin to tell you just how stoopid that post of yours is, Slate-fanboi.

So what do you think of Softube Tape?

First thought: Looks nice but how is aliasing?

I still wonder why i would ever need a software which emulates the behavior of tapes. Sorry for the troll post. I really wonder though.

I tested it briefly on some live acoustic recording I did and it sounds really nice.
I put it on the master and it's very subtle. Once I found the sweet spot and got used to it, I felt something was missing when I bypassed it.
It does make the mix glue better together (both in terms of levels and freq) but it's just a thin layer of polish.
I want to test it on some more electronic material but I'll probably pull the trigger. I haven't bought anything music-related this year and at $67, it's very tempting.

I think the tongue was very firmly in cheek

Have a read about what studio tape does to the audio.

Type A is based on a classic Swiss high end reel-to-reel machine, known and loved for its precision and linearity.
Type B is much more colorful—it's a transformer based machine which adds extra weight and cream to the low end.
Lastly, Type C is based on a British tape machine with a distinct vintage vibe.

Sorry if I'm being dense, so is
A = Nagra?
What is B?
C=EMI?

Thanks

I more or less know what it does to the audio. It's just that i never really thought i'd need it for the music i do.

The irony is palpable. Lol.

Irony? I don't think the word irony means what you think it means...

I was obviously joking, bro. Slate is sh**.
