XLN RC-20 Retro Color

[Lotuz2019]

RC 20 is just as subtle, my main reason for grabbing it is that I like the “magnetic” module and sonitex doesn’t have that effect,

Exactly the reason why I wanted RC-20. The dropouts feature is really nice. But I'd like it to have more of the tape sound, so I won't need to combine it with a specific tape plugin.

Each module could be more advanced imo. Maybe some extra features hidden behind the "hatch" of each module.

Are most people using Sonitex just using jbridge since there's not a 64bit version?

According to Rune of Tone Projects it seems to work very well with jBridge.

For new projects it wouldn't be a problem to use jBridge, but when you load an old project made on Windows 32 bit, the jBridge Sonitex plugin won't automatically replace the original Sonitex plugin, would it?

Aberrant SketchCassette sounds great btw. From high quality to completely knackered.

But it would be nice if RC-20 could do various tape formulas and speeds (ips) as well.

Mine installs both versions. I delete the 32 bit before opening my DAW. No issues. Please tell me the exact error message.

It's about par for the course for XLN's installer/manager. It also doesn't like things being moved, which is a (minor) irritation if you like to move VST2 plugins into subfolders and stuff like that.

Amazing assortment of effects. It really has enough to cover 95% of all the audio destruction effects that I would want. For the rest I could look at other plugins.

It's great for making anything to sound like the Caretaker (Leyland Kirkby) or William Basinski. All those effects in RC-20 would cover those two artists easily. Sure, you could add some other vinyl or tape or saturation emulators but this one plugin does it all really. The fact that it can be automated by MIDI is a great reason to use it.

It's on sale now (€ 69,95).

Still hoping for new modules (something like NI Freak for example) and more advanced features.

Four years after its release RC-20 finally got some serious competition:

I hope XLN Audio are working on RC-22.

I don't know that developer, but looks good and cheap! I own RC20 so not for me, but it does look like a more modern feature rich RC20! XLN seem pretty slow at updates (based on my experience with XO as well) so not holding my breath for updates!

Usually competition leads to progress, so...

Looks good

I saw it on the internet, so it must be true!
