Tape simulations for that mastering mojo.

ok, maybe not MOST places, but it's a lot. i think it'd get people a negative impression on twitter, discord, tumblr, reddit—a whole bunch of sites.
either way, i don't have a bias about this; i prefaced the whole thing by saying that i thought you most likely meant the emoji in a positive way. i was just giving you a heads up.

Yeah it was. A friendly wink. We use them in real life (yes...positive way here too!). Never had a problem on Reddit. Twitter is a dumpster fire but that's another discussion. Don't use discord or tumblr.
Interesting though. Not sure how the bleep a wink turned into that but its the Internet. Nothing should shock me anymore.

well, i have a couple theories, but it doesn't really matter. idk, it just seemed like something might be in danger of developing between you two. i apologize for being paranoid--i'll butt out of the conversation now.

ReelBus4 can be clean and dirty. I use it on the master, but also to make samples sound lofi.Dark Fiber wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 9:47 am Reelbus4 is not an emulation, but more clean/modern sounding with a lot more options to fine-tune the sound.

I almost never use a tape emulation on the master, but I will use it on a track to warm up a cold sounding synth. I actually really like the VTAPE plugins by Virsyn. My favorite tape delays plugins are IK Tape Delay, Valhalla Delay, Enso and Augustusloop, though the last two are tape loopers, not really delays.
I’ve also gotten decent results with the UAD Fatso emulation’s tape emulation. It’s really nice to get some warmth on the somewhat cold sounding Peak. UAD has a tape emulation, but I didn’t buy it, or even try it, because they don’t have a way to put it on the 2 bus without doing a round trip from your DAW, which adds latency. I mostly use my DAW for live improvisation, so I need something that doesn’t add latency.

There are of course plugins with more color/distortion like Taupe or IKM. But after my tests these plugins are unusable because of the enormous CPU consumption and finally they are (IMO) too much for the current and modern sound. I would not use them on the master and only partially on groups/submixes.
VTM is still the best choice if you don't want a sound like in the 50s and where one instance eats the whole CPU U-He Satin is also still quite good, needs little CPU and has a lot of settings (maybe too many for some users but there are also many presets)

The crunchy sound, that's the Kramer tape (i think). I think it's audible from when the drum comes in at 1.30telecode wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 11:59 pmi liked paper gods. saw that tour as well. how do you guys know they used tape plugins on that record? you'd think DD have access to a lot of real good studios and gear.rezoneight wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 11:19 pmGiven when Paper Gods came out and the description of how hard it was to come up with the right recording medium I'd assume they used the Waves plugin, not the real thingSpring Goose wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 2:16 pm
It's not sarcasm. What i meant is contrary what been said here in this thread, the sound of a hot Kramer tape can be quite/very beautiful. I love that Duran Duran song, it's a fantastic finish to an album, and some great drums, and reverent to the lovely sound of the Kramer tape (i think). I assume they (Duran Duran) used the original machine not the Waves plug but i think it does sound basically the same.

It sounds alright if you ask me.
