I have Kenny's the top row now too but haven't tried them all. I'm deciding on which Tape plugins myself too. From what I gather, most like the 80 and the 24. (?) But another freebie or two and I won't HAVE to decide! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saturator X Tape Machine 24 . Tape Machine 440 .Tape Machine 80 .Tape Machine 99 . thanks in advance Kenny I have 24 and 80. They are a bit heavy on the cpu. This precludes doing something like putting 24 on every track and 80 on the master bus to simulate a complete setup. That would make the tape effect additive and more noticeable. I have tried both of these on the master bus only and the effect is pretty subtle if not driven hard enough. I guess you must know what you are doing with the controls (bias, tape speed, tape formulation, etc) to achieve the correct enhancing effect. If you have a powerful machine you may be able to get better result than I did. I didn't try Saturator X yet, but it seems easier to use. And as @Zargg mentioned it seems to sound very good. Since it's an older plugin, it's probably easier on the cpu too. Edited October 3, 2021 by Jacques Boileau 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacques Boileau 1,123 Posted October 3, 2021 Strangely enough, looking at the Tape Machines web page, I realize that although the model 80 is shown in the GUI as a 2 track machine it is modeled after a 24 track machine. Weird... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

User 905133 1,017 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Talking about the Tape Machines: maybe someone who has any of the Tape Machines can tell me if they have a feature I could make use of--the ability to play back from a playback head while recording (and re-recording) with the record head located before the playback head. I read the descriptions but didn't see this feature. Maybe its there and I missed it? Edited October 3, 2021 by User 905133 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tape Machine 440 .Tape Machine 80 .Tape Machine 99 . thanks in advance Kenny Definitely the Saturator X. I have all 4 Tape machines now, but haven't really used enough to write a review. Here's a couple of reviews posted a couple years ago... https://soundbytesmag.net/review-tape-machine-collection-from-ikmultimedia/ https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/ik-multimedia-t-racks-tape-machine-collection If I had to pick just 1, I'd probably start with the Tape Machine 80, a replica of the Studer A80, with tape speeds of 15 and 30 ips. The 440 and 99 run at 7.5 and 15 ips, so may have more of a warmer, vintage character. And then there is Zo's video!

Nick Blanc 277 Posted October 3, 2021 12 to go. And I just want to add that I hate IK Multimedia and Peter. Because of this sale, I hád to choose plugins I wouldn't normally pick; amps. And because I didn't have a good use for it, I had to buy an electrtic guitar. So now I have that, but I can't play. Are there any guitar lessons in this group buy? 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
