Hej, what is peoples experience so far with this tool, it's very interesting but I can't make up my mind about it?
I'm mostly interested in things like sound-design, using it on synths or vocals and other tonal stuff to make funky things.

Never knew that. So, by my calculation and based on the sale price of Quantum today you would have to sell the licence for £79.50 to just break even.
(Make up the difference between sale and full price plus £15).

yeah. great plugins but a bit of a turnoff.
wanted to sell trackspacer at one point, and to break even i'd need to sell it for more than the price is new when not on sale.
If i sold it for less, i'd practically be paying WF to lose the license so i just kept it.
i own Cassette, trackspacer and Spectre

Actually my old Hifi - cassette - deck sounds nowhere near to any Tape - plugin I own. Doesnt do Noise, no Warble, plus adds some kind of Harshness in the upper Mids, too. Pretty clean sounding overall; I guess people having no Idea.
Are the Spectre Algorithms similar or same to the Cassette One?

your deck is too expensive and your tapes are too good.
Mine has a consistent few cents flutter, although wow is negligible and crosstalk is decent.
When I use (one of the few i have) type IV metal tapes, the response (Aside flutter) is incredible, pretty much 20-20k crisp with little noise. like using u-he satin lol.
however when i use sony type I, it goes to shit. TDK type I are better.
Also if i drive the preamp (or head?) I get a nice crunch. Also print-through haven't seen any plugins with print-through.

Its not, was like $20 bought used and is from the 80s. But you are right of course, there are all the typical Tape - artifacts, just not as noticeable as most people might think. The nearest I get to a tape - plugin soundwise is actually my Dictaphone or Walkman.

I guess all those 'tape - emulations' are more representing the Idea of what a Tape could 'sound' like, than the actual Thing.
Are the Spectre Algo's similar to their Cassette, to get back on Topic?

To be honest, me wasnt too impressed with Cassette, even its a cool Plugin overall. I do have the Echo Cat, which actually delivers a pretty superb Tape - flavor, yet is also kind of unusable for this purpose as minimum Time is always set. So its always slightly off, which is a pity.
