Noticeably missing: Sknote Roundtone 4. It's the newest version (just came out a few months ago) and you ought to add it to your arsenal :).

Wow! I knew about that plug, but had been ignoring it because there hadn't seemed to be any activity on it since maybe 2012 (not that there aren't some fantastic plugs that haven't been updated in a while). Not sure how I missed version 4.

Thanks for the head's up. It is my goal to own absolutely every tape emulator in existence;).

To me Reelbus 4 is so good and inexpensive that I simply feel no need to investigate or invest in other tape sims. 8).

You know, I tend to embrace this entirely reasonable, clear-headed approach when it comes to most things (how many EQs does one actually need?). But when it comes it tape emulators, I lose all semblance of rationality.;).

I have TB Reelbus 4 permanantly bolted to my Master Bus :) Sometimes I will put the Softube Saturation Knob before it (but not too much because it can bite) and then after Reelbus 4, there is always TB Barricade 4 (with only the limiter engaged) followed by SPAN and Klanghelm's VU Meters...Reelbus 4 really adds "something" to the overall mix...One of the the cool things about the v4 TB plugins, is that Jeroen has brought the latency down with a zero latency option in Equalizer 4...The TB plugins are very well coded and extremely underated...

The other night I played around with Waves J37, U-he Satin & Airwindows ToTape.

ToTape was actually my favorite.....with a more 'recognizable' tape feel, if that makes sense.. I was shocked.

Not to say anything bad of the others, but with so many options in them, I kept experimenting like they were eq's (& never sounded as pleasing as ToTape IMO). It was like throw it on, turn it up, bam.....there's that hitting-the-tape sound rounding off everything nicely with a thick (non-cheesy) character.

i was in Ableton & assigned a rack of Macro knobs for it for future use (since it's so bare bones, it has no actual GUI).
