SN03/SN03-G is a tape sound emulation plug-in not based on tape speed or tape type (nor particular brand of tape machine). It takes the key components of analog tape recorders and gives the user tools to create a properly calibrated "custom tape machine" that operates in the range of 7.5 to 30 IPS, while conforming to NAB, IEC, and AES equalization standards. The plug-in is designed with ASIO/CPU footprint that allows use of many instances for cumulative effect.

Features:

  • input gain +/- 24dB.
  • output gain +/- 24dB.
  • NAB, IEC (15 IPS), AES (30 IPS) EQ modes.
  • adjustable recording EQ (LF +/- 10dB, HF +/- 14dB).
  • adjustable reproduction EQ (LF +/- 10dB, HF +/- 14dB).
  • adjustable "head bump" frequency from 65Hz to 105Hz.
  • adjustable "head bump" gain from 1dB to 8dB.
  • "head bump" bypass.
  • tape hiss gain +/-30dB from ca. -76dBFS (RMS).
  • tape hiss on/off switch.
  • complete I/O VU metering.
  • "Anarchy" button -- to defy some norms;).
  • ...and tape saturation, of course.

very subtile effect, it's relatively easy to use.

Sound good, not on the first try, you need to understand the control.

I use it a lot on my masters bus in my productions.

Almost as good as Airwindows' Iron Oxide tape emulation VSTs. Sounds really good if you push it - lots of low-end and distortion. My only real complaint is that the tape hiss function is a bit useless - it's a sample sound playing on a constant loop that you can turn on and off. Would be helpful if the tape hiss was more dynamic and responsive to input.

Fantastic! Thanks again

BTW, I suggest adding a hint in the plugins' names about their function, for example: SN03G_Tape_x64 (especially if there are going to be more plugins in this series).

I'm glad you like it;) As for the names - it's a pretty valid point (I should also probably make distinct internal names for GUI/GUI-less versions, too - e.g. in Cakewalk I see just two identical names - pretty hard to distinguish which is which :D). Meanwhile, please rename the files manually. That should work for all hosts that list plug-ins by file names.

Great plugin. I agree with eranmadi84 and the clarity this thing adds. Im checking out the rest of your plugins right now. You have any plans for a synth or instrument plugin? A synth with SN03 and your other effects built in would be very nice. Either way you got a new follower and fan. Thanks for sharing your plugins and cant wait to see what else you come up with!!!! If you ever need a beta tester let me know id be happy to try out anything your working on. Keep up the great work.

Thanks very much! I'll definitely consider your offer :) As for synth - well, I'm afraid that that's more than way above my current competence level. Anyway, thanks once more.
