![]() ![]() ![]() Funny enough I always thought that McDSP's "Analog Channel 202" comes pretty close, although it seems to be more about compression than saturation. and as others have mentioned already, Steinberg's "Magneto II" might be actually all that's needed if you're just aiming for that certain amount of additional grip and density. Also great for beautiful flanging effects and tap-echoes! This is one of the few plug-ins (actually the only one I know of) which also models the highly important noise-reduction methods properly, including the infamous "Dolby-A-undecoded"-trick for vocals. The most versatile and authentic (thus very unobtrusive) virtual tape machine is U-He's "Satin". This little plug-in is as close as it gets to the proverbial "better-button". 8-)įor me, the overall magic of that sound is brought to digital in a perfectly idealised way by the old "Phoenix / Phoenix II" by Crane Song. That's why I _love_ digital - but sound-wise I still reach for that kind of glue and density. Disclaimer: I recorded, edited and mixed on tape during my early years in that business, stereo as well as multitrack, comparably cheap ones (Tascam 8-track cassette!) as well as shiny 827s from Studer with Dolby SR and all bells and whistles.
