Waves Kramer Master Tape plugin
Is the Kramer Master Tape plugin snake oil or what? Been trying it for a few days now (demo) and am not impressed. Get more use out of PSP Vintage Warmer 2 and VW2 I think has a better sound and is more versatile. Waves has a cheap deal going on until the end of the month with it going for $99 US and also 1 year of WUP.
I know it's supposed to be a subtle effect but still I'm wondering if it's worth the bucks. |

If you don't like it, it doesn't really matter what others think.
It's okay to not like things. I don't use it. But I was never a fan of 1960's type 1/4" tape machines. PSP doesn't sound/react like tape at all to me but people like it. Other options: Slate and/or Ampex/Studer (if you have a UAD2 card). |

Re: Waves Kramer Master Tape plugin
in my system, it works very well if i watch the gain staging,
specifically to trim the input/ output to find the sweet spot. for ex, it'll do a great tom petty/ shelley yakus snare... e

That's one thing I've found it's picky for gain staging. |

Re: Waves Kramer Master Tape plugin
I wonder if they actually spin at the right rate for 7.5 and 15 ips?
