IK Multimedia T-racks Tape Machine Collection

[cprompt]

Oh and CPU is a OpenGL thing because close plugin and I get no more than 13% on master track with compressors or EQs as well

In my experience, if a plugin uses OpenGL and you get higher CPU with the plugin open, then your video drivers and/or card are probably too old and the CPU is having to emulate the OpenGL drivers rather than the GPU doing all the work. That's what my problem was with Waves a few years back - I had horrible CPU usage, I bought a new video card and all the problems went away.

These are still blowing my mind. Absolutely unreal. Every model is incredible. Great times to be a tape lover. The realism is almost unreal. haha.
Great job IK..and to top it off, the mastering EQ is now on sale. I have wanted that for a while.
Though i just heard that if you buy the T racks bundle, you get a bunch more features: such as GUI resizing.
Is this really the case? if so i think i did it all wrong - as i bought a bunch of these separately.

These all sound amazing. Like stupidly good. Like, I want to sell all my other tape plugins, which I hardly use any more, and put these new ones on everything. That said, the CPU usage is very high and there's moderate latency.

And how many samples latency do they add? Latency is due to convolution?
The IK Leslie was extremely impressive so it may be the same team on the Tapes but are they that much better than everything else already out there?

I don't think there is a gang function on these.

And the gange parameter/bypass omission thing is a joke, right?

Well done IK, the Tape Machine collection is superb.
Great addition to my tape collection.
Really liking the 24 and 80 at 30 ips and the 456 tape.

Feature request: The option to hide the reels (like VTM).
I have no desire to see spinning reels.
I find them a distraction and imagine that having them visible/spinning adds to cpu/graphics load.

in my opinion these are definitely a step up. They are much more hungry but the sound is amazing.
I really like Satin, also really like the Black Rooster Magnetite, but these are just awesome.
Plus you get four distinct sounds for quite a reasonable price.
The only thing i don't really like is the fact that to get the resizing (and other features, so i am told) you have to buy the T racks bundle. I have bought quite a number of their plugins, but as i don't have the bundle, i cannot access these features - which sucks.
Outside of that they are incredible

what is the explanation for the gange omission?

[Aloysius]

They don't sell drugs.

[acousticglue]

yeah trying them further they do what is difficult to be emulated with other plugs , amount of difference they are only doing. Sounds like circling back around kind of talk lol. Tried over using Iron Oxide or SDRR or SaturatorX or LA2A white. Even pulled in Roth Air and you can get sort of on same page but not completely even. Nice plugins but too much horsepower crackling around.Quad core Xeon 3.0 here 256 buffers 44./1

How do I purchase using both Jam Points and Gear credits?

[Burillo]

you use jam points towards a gear credit pack

Thanks, Burillo.
