Re: massey tape head buyers?
I bought all the massey plugs. You can't beat them at the price, and I use tape head in every session.
Definitely recommended.

Re: massey tape head buyers?
How does it stack up next to McDSP AC-2?

Re: massey tape head buyers?
I've only use the AC-2 demo, and since my demo period expired long before tape head came out I have no way to directly compare the two, sorry. The AC-2 is much more configurable, and I would probably use it instead of tape head if I owned it, and if I could afford it I would own it.
If you really want a good comparison, you should try them out for yourself. Tape Head is almost fully functional in demo mode, and the AC-2 demo can be used for 14 days.

Re: massey tape head buyers?
Thanks, I'll try them out. $500 for AC-1 and 2 is pretty steep, so I am looking for an alternative as well. Maybe digi's "Reel Tape Suite" will be reasonably priced.

Re: massey tape head buyers?
I just downloaded the free Massey Tapehead version. Tapehead appears in my 'Harmonics' folder of RTAS plug-ins but ONLY shows up on Mono tracks. Is the freeware version limited to mono?

Re: massey tape head buyers?
The plugin itself is mono only for both versions, but it can be used in Multi-mono mode (for use on the 2-bus, for instance).

Re: massey tape head buyers?
Shawn, what is difference in the full version of the equalizer? Do you often use the EQ? if so on what types of thing do you prefer it on? What do you usually use tapehead on?

Re: massey tape head buyers?
Shawn, would you use the Dynamics III EQ more than the massey eq?
What about the Massey compressor? Do you favor it over the Dynamic III suite?
