Review - Tape Plug-in by Softube

[@FirstnameLastname-dm2xl]

drive the input man whats wrong with ya

[@johnjenkins6435]

This the best tape emulation plugin

[@vigilant545]

Check out blackrooster audio! I love their tape Plugin a lot

[@aex2170]

all the people sold they multitrack tape machines to enter to the new digital era... now, all want tape distortion on your mixes... crazy world....

[@rockingstar3534]

Alejandro Suazo Exactly. Some people just don't really know what they want and therefore are always uncontented and non-appreciative of the things around them.

[@ghostnomad6012]

it's almost as if different people like different audio effects!

[@bonchbonch]

@@rockingstar3534 I think that's an inaccurate characterization. What happened is that the benefits of digital were too great to ignore, so people made the best decision and migrated to digital production. Eventually, computers became powerful enough to digitally recreate the analog warmth of the pre-digital era as an effect. It's not a refutation of digital, which is here to stay no matter what. It's just a consequence of technological progress.

[@humansrants1694]

Now they have best of both worlds.

[@TheBroadcastStudio365]

@@bonchbonch You said that correctly. It is actually an added value. We really appreciate the digital age, but the analog warmth these plugins can bring is fantastic. I use the Satin plug-in and am really excited to consider buying the softtube tape plugin as well.

[@ladex142online]

So many good tape options now, lol

[@ChrisCaaa]

A B & C, definitely industry standard label for me now

[@voyagehearth323]

The interface looks nice and minimalist and the art design on the GUI s nice as well. I like the sound too. Your voice recording is also very crisp and clear! Nice music session too :) Oh and GUI is said as "Gooey" so not to disappoint the computer nerds out there ;)

[@YoungNino2017]

Unless you change the in/output you can't really hear anything unless it's either on B or you put the color all the way to 10... it helps to go through the presets to see what they consider a sound... all of them alter the in and output

[@WheelieMix]

We're getting really close but still a little bit to do to sounds "competitiv" to the famous Studer (the tape that I know the most). I think a mix of this one, with the crosstalk, the more boomy bass of the VTM and perhaps the stereo image of the Waves J37 (that sounds like a disguised S1 to me) would be even closer. Nice demo, I would be curious to see the impact of the high-end boost (as the UAD studer one). The design reminds me of a Studer more than an Ampex in general anyway.

[@gorogne]

what a cool song!

[@DanubioRodriguez]

like slate digital virtual tape machines, reelight & gem tape desk are very nice too

[@zfalcon1]

The b sounds amazing

[@mcdanielmarc5386]

Is it for mastering songs?

[@guillerob99]

Tape B is wonderful. But why is Amount always full?

[@rt-uh6mt]

Don't blow money on gimmicky nostalgic plugins that often go way too far imo - I don't want flange and grit applied to the master! The whole idea here is essentially making a mix more cohesive sounding, which isn't always an issue, but if it is and you've recorded in the box and haven't captured a great room's ambience then maybe you need something. But instead of this simply throw some tape hiss, vinyl crackle or room noise or whatever you want on a track and mix that into your song. You might even get creative with this ... but typically this kind of thing should be subtle, just above the threshold of hearing.

[@ApexArtistX]

I came for sound, not features talk

[@ProductionExpert]

Download the demo from softube. Let us know what you think of Tape

[@ApexArtistX]

Production Expert downloaded demo, doesn't sound like tape. The distorted compression sound nothing like the tape

[@ArthurStone]

Nice demo; thanks.

[@HarmonicInventions]

Nice!!!

[@jeha1852]

bla bla bla....2:58

[@jonnathangarcia2068]

Thanks

[@tamtamstudio9467]

unlucky it's not AAX DSP.. improve it and it will be perfect!

[@erikjacobsen7939]

This is an amazing video The first I've seen of people not using shit music

[@JuanJacinto]

Are you sure the plugin was not bypassed?

[@ProductionExpert]

Absolutely sure

[@gerdmilano8137]

LOL Amount at 100% and that's IT? snakeoil...

[@oinkooink]

How exactly do you get "tape flanging" with the wet/dry knob?

[@Claidheambmor]

By turning it up and down...

[@angellopez-negrin2002]

What do you guys think Waves J37 or this?

[@sonnybrasco9735]

J37 is the shit. A lil cpu heavy but a really nice sound

[@gonebymidnight2881]

Does it work in Logic 10.6.1 on Big Sur?

[@XLmega]

Nota 100

[@JULIOHpsp]

4:13 some phasing issues on the dry and wet mix there...

[@mrjimx]

I think #Tape is one of the best, of all the ones I've tried! Artistically. #MrJimX 🃏

[@bouguification]

You know the Wadsworth constant ? It says the first 30% of every YT video is useless. You've managed to make it 50%. And I'm being nice because the demo itself is pretty weak. Downvoted man, I'm sorry.

[@vamsikrishnavempati5215]

It was just 5 minutes and it wasn't even that bad of a review. Most of the other reviews of this plugin were much longer.

[@mrcgeraldes]

Too subtle ......

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

Dude reading whatever's on the screen for us is nothing smart intuitive or useful

[@nandoblondemobydick5438]

too phase issues to me, sound strange sometimes, at least some settings

[@D40Oz1]

Nando & Blonde Moby Dick you’re not listening to what he said in the video...

[@makaynchealhalibbealkhooo9673]

Way over priced waves sale it cheaper

[@mikoajdobber2425]

yeah, right, and you have to pay for updates every year :)
