Neurontape 1972 - 50 years old japanese tape recorder

[Plajia]

Neurontape 1972 brings to you a fantastic simulation of this piece of equipment that is a bit hard to find in good shape these days.

We captured it from a unit that remain mostly untouched for its years. The preamp sound is thick, warm and will wildly saturate the circuit if overloaded.

This unit is Japanese made, about 50 years old. It sounds awesome.

mix applications
From mix-bus to parallel distortion, Neurontape 1972 is a must have plugin for those who want to saturate tracks, glue the mix together with natural analog signal compression or even analog distort.

Experiment with different input/output levels to get to know what the circuit is really capable of.

Does it run natively on Apple Silicon Mac?

Once authorized, does one need to ever be connected again to use it?

I just had the entire TEAC/TASCAM emulation through the ikmultimedia group buy ...this one looks attractive with it's very reasonable price, but would it make any sense in my case to buy it...except if I might be an tape emulation's collector ?

Me to btw. Some of them are cool. But they are all CPU hogs. How is this one?

The demo sounds good. Is this using neural networks?

relevant comment concerning CPU usage...

[Krakatau]

i just tried in comparison with the TASCAM tracks collection ...slightly less consuming CPU

...also less latency than the ik multimedia's one

i'm on a apple silicon macmini

If I bought a 'proper' tape machine like that in the 70s and it sounded as distorted and fuzzy as those first four examples in the Youtube video I would've taken it straight back to the shops ! Sounds worse than my cheap walkman when it's running low on batteries

It does sound really knackered. I had alot of really cheap consumer 60s/70s reel to reels back in the 80s and they sounded more hifi.
