Do that and its like putting a tube screamer on every track. but nobody, and I mean NOBODY ever ran the tape super hot and crunchy, like 456 +9/185 at 15ips. Once its digital its there and sure, compress saturate and distort all 'ya want but its happening digitally.Īll these "analog simulators" are really just equalizers. Personally the whole idea of a "tape plugin" just doesn't sit with me as a concept. things like the difference between headbump at 15ips vs 30ips are pretty well ingrained. its all just an approximation of something real like auto-tune or drum replacement.Īs someone who spent the better part of a decade recording to tape, owning a JH24 and Studer A80 the sound of certain tape formulations & reference levels. Maybe but to some degree its also like comparing say, a POD simulation to whatever other amp sim. and what's really amusing is that generally speaking, when the 2" 24-track was king most people spent LOTS of time trying to make what came out of the machine sound like what went in!!! Hence the purpose of all those "options & controls" being there. more uniform.Īll these things do is generate a bit of harmonic distortion and act as giant wideband equalizers. Once it was all running the same "reel" one of the first comments was how much clearer and bigger things were. All were kinda random with mixed tape formulations, speed, some tracks were on repro, others on input and general wonky calibration. But none of the channels matched and it sounded WAY better bypassed. was they had the UAD studer across all the tracks, like a real tape machine. One of the first things i noticed, and fixed. So they sent a couple tunes out to myself & others and finally we decided to pull up their ITB mixes and go through it all. Real problems with frequency balance and things like vocals being much, much brighter then cymbals or anything else etc. When I first started that record they had already mixed it themselves and by all accounts they mixes weren't great. they give you more then enough rope to hang yourself from the rafters. but if I had to pick one over the other it'd be the UAD stuff simply because it allows you to actually setup and do an alignment.Īnd that's the rub. Obviously I have some mixed feelings about 'em all. The added control of UAD tape sims is the key to making 'em work and they all respond more or less about the same as an actual tape machine. That's why people love and still use tape, because its soft, gooey and very forgiving. Therefore, proceed at your own risk.Ĭlick to expand.Real tape has never really "sizzled" or been know for extended high frequency response.
