A properly aligned tape machine is going to be fairly subtle and transparent. that's cool, but that's not what I expect or experienced with analog tape.
So when I pull up a tape emulation that's got a lot of harmonic grit and all the top end is lopped off. If on playback the repro head sounded really different then input it meant there was a problem and we'd stop and fix it.
The goal was to get back what was put into input. Most of us who lived through that era spent countless hours keeping after alignment & general maintenance so that the tape decks wouldn't radically alter sounds. I owned a Studer and MCI, used them daily. So I don't really need extra grit or "glue" or anything of the sort on a regular basis.Īnother part of the disclaimer is that I came up & started doing this production thing at the tail end of when tape was still king. Part of the disclaimer is that I'm mixing on an SSL desk with outboard gear. And for what most of them offer I'd just assume go with Soundtoys Decapitator if need obvious saturation or any number of other things. I can honestly say I don't have any use or need for "tape emulation" in my workflow. I think maybe your looking for something else entirely.Ĭlick to expand.This is sort of a loaded question. They're both very good usable emulations. I think if that isn't working for ya then UAD probably won't do it either. I've used the waves CLA 76 for many years on many releases. And that can be totally cool & useful, but it's not accurate. Can count on one hand with fingers left over the number of tape plugins that sound & react like well maintained tape machines. Tape emulators are a perfect example of that.
But what it doesn't do is make them accurate to reality. and that can be useful and even desirable. What comes back is an exaggerated cartoon version of the physical equipment. Otherwise it's not a model, it's something else. an 1176, plate reverb, Pultec or whatever then IMO it needs to sound like, have the tone, and actual reaction of the physical gear. If we have a plugin that says it's a model of some actual thing. Of course you can overload them, and some modelled plugs mimic that behaviour. They also don't generate distortion under normal use. They shave some bottom end & tonally have an upper mid slant. Therefore, proceed at your own risk.Ĭlick to expand.I think maybe your looking for something else entirely.Ī real 1176LN doesn't really carry weight.

In the past, we had required people to use Paypal to head off attempted fraud, which has been a concern for many years.
