UVI Tape Suite | Overview

[@MuchasDistracciones]

i just purchased this and im SO happy

[@synthboffin]

Thank you Cameron for another very slick demo . These plugins do indeed seem "really" good! 😉

[@wigglwrrm]

The PERFECT person to review this. Outstanding demo & product. Will be purchasing today 👍

[@victorykeys]

Oh my.... These plugins sound so good. I love the unique user interface and the sound is so... FRESH❤

[@traqmol4667]

The music software market is so oversaturated that even an UVI product is not flaring my GAS. As always, it does sound great. The thing I would really love to see from UVI is a better browser for Falcon and the Workstation. It's the only weak link in your amazing products IMHO.

[@venericanone]

Yeah I don't like their browser at all. Very clumsy/clunky going between soundsets and presets

[@lnguage8010]

Agreed, desperately needs a full overhaul that’s much more user friendly and matches the likes of NI, Arturia etc.

[@Peter-gu9ph]

Great demo - well done! I already have so many tape FX plugins but I might have to get this as it could be the best...

[@hasznoneother]

This looks incredible!

[@timweinheimer1]

Thanks Cool Tape Effect plug lots of creative options

[@nickyfinnicky1104]

How did you manage to make a tape model that sounds worse than the cassette deck I have is very interesting. Why does it seem like the Bias is in a bad spot no matter where I set the Bias setting (Hardness)? It's eating into the waveforms and adding crossover distortion regardless of how I gain stage it.

[@radiofaber]

Very nice! It seems like a new version of the U-he Satin, very similar controls

[@bLiNdEDM]

The SOUND is amazing. I own like every tape plugin out there and probably use the UAD stuff the most (LUNA daw mainly) But for lofi music im very interested in high amounts of customization and this one seems to deliver on the sound itself AND the feature list. awesome

[@fausto_colella]

with modern ultra hi-res screen those so little knobs controls in the middle of UI are a PITA to deal with... why not make them bigger like knobs on the sides ?? and the lettering too... we have big screen but so small lettering ?? 🤔

[@drydessert4198]

I miss an envelope follower as a modulation source. And I would like to have a separate control for the level of noise that comes for each model of tape.

[@juliebabygirl]

This is a MUST HAVE! :)

[@garyphillips725]

Pretty cool. Reminds me of Strymon's Deco pedal which I wish had this puppy's tape delay. I'd like to hear if those tape heads can create polyrhythms with with simple percussion. Cheers.

Whats the cpu load footprint of this vst? Interested..

[@ManOf1000Vocals]

Who cares? I’m buying it! 🔥🔥

[@illwafer]

5:42 magic! I had headphones on and perked up immediately.

[@victorykeys]

I totally agree with you!

[@tekis0]

I like GUI! I wonder how it would sound as a "multitrack type of effect?

[@sandrovanhetgroenewoud5817]

Why are the reels turning in the wrong way? Really????

[@estevancarlos]

Nice work.

[@BartekEVH]

UVI is magic!

[@mcadder]

can you sync delay time to bpm?

[@Cornholio0494]

mmh they also changed the design or their UI it ressembles more at what Output or Excite does than UVI used to do right?

[@estevancarlos]

Well, a lot of their UIs are different from each other.

[@bronxcartel6193]

Kinda, but UVI have always had killer GUIs

[@jonathansaunders6697]

the whole industry is copying output,...because their success and the pandemic has shown who the biggest consumer demographic left is...uvi quality has gone down, but this pivot combined with the FL Studio merger is probably making them more money

[@stizan9185]

@@jonathansaunders6697 Not true at all.

[@ManOf1000Vocals]

You mean to tell me I didn’t need to buy Rhodes MK2 software and the effects module? OMGoodness!

[@spaceiswater6539]

I really like UVI but I cant see me ever needing or wanting to use this, the GUI looks rather nice I must say.

[@Roland_Tr909_Swing]

Cool username

[@venericanone]

I may get this...at some point lol any discounts for owners of all your effect plugins?

[@nickyfinnicky1104]

I remember this bad sound from when the tape machines at the studios i worked at were poorly calibrated. The rolloff sounds a bit cheesy too. Some tape machines when you overbias them have this silky top and mid thing going on, but this plugin sounds like a lowshelf/lowpass filter. You said the model is "parametric" and I know what that means. It's not supposed to sound this bad.

[@daviHuggMonster]

wohoooo now I am glad I did NOT buy those new thenathan plugins...these are far better

[@lnguage8010]

That’s a no brainer lol. UVI is a muuuuch much better company 😂

[@mimoochodom2684]

Newbee here. How would you automate it in Reaper? Sounds fantastic.

[@LouisWeiserUVI]

Hello, as for any fx parameter you last touched, you can always do this action: FX: Show parameter modulation/link for last touched FX parameter you can add lfo, audio control side chain and midi link.

All I care about is how this sounds on the 2-bus for mix or master. Don't care about the effects.

[@gunnersdream44]

This is useful as creative tool, but if you think Tape Suite for your bus duties, you can forget it. As any sort of realistic tape machine plugin this can't compete with your usual suspects when it comes to tape machine plugs. Delay, chorus, flanger - OK, but as a tape machine a big NO. This time UVI disappoints.

[@eklipseRomania]

I played with this on instruments and it sounds great but it's a huge no-no on any bus that requires any amount of finesse. Context: I'm a bedroom producer and I make music strictly for myself. This allows me to get very creative with the master bus, for example adding a Pulsar Echorec at 10% wet or a Satin etc. However, when I tried this on my master bus it was a disaster. I get weird phasing issues with the dry/wet knob. Even with only 5% or 10% wet on Tape Color everything sounded like shit. This is very weird for UVI which usually have such consistently high quality releases...

[@UVIofficial]

Hi! In Tape Color, phasing issues can be introduced by having modulations active and using the Mix (Dry/Wet) knob ; to avoid this effect, use the Amount knob instead. Don't hesitate to contact our customer service team if you have any further questions - they'll be happy to help! You can contact them at uvi.net/contact-us.

[@lnguage8010]

@@eklipseRomaniahe literally covered that wet/dry knob and amount knob thing in the video lol. Also I think it’s fairly obvious that these are creative tools for instrument stems and buses, not for your master bus (unless you are using it as a send in Logic etc. or return track in Ableton). So really not the best criticism. There are many other tape plugs for master bus processing if that’s what you’re after. This is clearly a different endeavour.

[@712Jefferson]

I was ready to purchase this until I found out that it requires an iLok. No, thanks.
