Speaking as Luca (so totally personal opinion here): if you are talking about fedility, yes.. I totally agree with you. The Echoplex signal on the tape is shitty. The preamp has a nice touch but is not an high performance one. The transport could have been way better and I don't totally get the choice to set the recording head as the moving one instead of the read head. Said that... the combination of all of that makes a sound that I personally love and I find inspiring. Honstly, I have biased feelings about delays and reverbs

My 2 cents,
Luca

Don't you believe in magic anymore, Peter Pan?

I tested the PlexiTape with a drum break and thought the late setting of the preamp sounded really nice too. Until I ran the same drum break through the T7E. Now when you drive that input...

Absolutely. But any echoplex, hardware or emulated software, is not going to be "magic" or "fairy dust". It's going to sound like an Echoplex, which sounds great and I have great affection for them and use tape echo software all the time. I also have a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo as well, which enhances the sound quality of the original. It's just not "magic" or "fairy dust" - nothing in audio is.

Magic: "A quality that makes something seem removed from everyday life, especially in a way that gives delight."

Fairy Dust: "Makes something sound great but you have no idea why."

I stand by my statement.

Its just a different way of looking at and doing things. I am pragmatic and strive for objectivism in the pursuit of understanding and subjective success. Enjoy your fantasy world.

I just have to say I really enjoy this plugin, even more so than Echoboy's version. I never owned or used the real unit, but yours is so fun to play with.

Like Burillo, I do both. This is why I know there is nothing ethereal going on with plugins - its math - everything we hear has been engineered and is computed and reproducable. But I do know that many people like to believe in fairies. If that's what you enjoy, go for it. But know that fairies do not exist. There are real reasons for everything you hear. Understanding these specifics is very helpful in using an audio tool to it's full potential. These are facts, not everything is an opinion.

Math was created by God, who may or may not sprinkle faerie dust around.
