(yet another tape emulation)

I don't know about this one.  But I'd argue yes, those that are fantastic seem to be a CPU hog....and many on the market are not wonderful....so yes, I'd argue there is room for more in this space.

Sorry, this is off-topic, AND it's not a cassette tape emulation (VHS tape ), but...

I've been reaching for the Baby Audio FREEBIE Magic Switch for this type of sound.

I don't know what it is, but whenever I need that smeary/chorusy effect, this one just works for me.  I'm keeping an eye out for their Super VHS plugin now. 

Good freebies=good marketing    ?

So many emulations and yet what they emulate is what I used to hate about "cassette tape sound" (dropouts, wow&flutter, head misalignment) but they do not provide an easy way to emulate the one "simple trick" I miss that resulted in nice "air" and dynamics (to my teenager ears):

* Record a CrO2 cassette tape with CrO2 Bias and pre-emphasis, and with Dolby-B encoding on

* Play back with FeO2 Bias and pre-emphasis, without any Dolby decoding

+1 !   When someone emulates the squeaking sound of worn out cassettes and everyone starts buying it, I'm out.  ?

I think that's what Slate's Fresh Air freebie is supposed to do, isn't it?

I think Fresh Air is a fantastic plugin.  However, I'm annoyed that as a free plugin they really only give you one authorization (and the second one you have to be connected to the cloud).  Just give us two legit ilok authorizations.

I would sign up for a 2nd account to use it, but then that negates all the other ilok plugins via the authorization manager.
