Softube Tape

[mikeyman]

anyone using Softube Tape with Pro tools 10 native 32bit windows 7 in the AAx format...thanks

All Softube plug-ins support both 32- and 64-bit hosts, although a 64-bit OS is required.

You can get a demo from them to see how it won't work.

What’s everyone’s opinion of this?? I’ve been tempted by this one before.

Also loving the Drawmer and the new Weis plugins, hard to find these anywhere else.

I can only give you my opinion Simon and I think it's a great plugin. It has earned a slot on either the drum-bus or the 2-bus of pretty much every mix I do.

On the 2-bus mostly Type A (Studer)@ 30Ips and maybe with the cross-talk set slightly above nominal.

On the drum-bus, anything goes! It pays to experiment with settings.

Softube's (Tube-Tech) CL 1B & Pultecs also get a lot of love here.

I found that Softube TAPE sounds good but there is only one setting I can hear a difference and I read some other guy say the same thing.It is setting B with the saturation turned full up...You can hear it most in the bottom end .The other control are audible but the main tape setting for me is ''B''

Waves Q clone can be useful in those cases

I have the Softube tape plugin but it’s so slow to open it on my old system so i stopped using it. The Hornet tape plugin is much lighter. Very fast to start and very low cpu usage. Not as many controls but sounds great to my ears.

I tried the Avid ''Lo-fi '' last night on my mix buss ,,it has a preset for tape saturation..Wow that really boost the mix

I RENDERED SOME DRUM TRACKS WITH the softube TAPE plugin under the Audio Suite plug and I could see the change in the wave file on the bass drum mainly get bigger.Not sure if i'm going to buy it at 50$
