The newer Nomad stuff is supposed to be a step up in emulation - the neve etc.īut I am finding I'm using more and more clean stuff for mixing. You could probably get most of the effect from the blue tubes channel strip. Their blue tubes package is good for a change up in tone - the time based stuff is very good and useful and the pultec/fairchild models are good for a thicker tone. I have the nomad stuff too that I'm fond of. That pretty much covers eq and compression. Once you get the card you can demo the product for two weeks (I think) and see what you like before spending your cash.įor my own stuff, I use mainly the PC stuff - including the softube bundle and the opto comp. Most people get the classics (they are hardware classics for a reason) - the 1176, optical etc. The basic UAD stuff (that comes w/ the card) is good. Not a large pool I know, so take it for what it is.
I recommend that you start by installing a trial version of a tape emulation plugin, and experiment with adding different amounts of analog warmth and saturation.Although I don't have it, the UAD stuff is what most of the professionals I know use - that and Waves if they don't have UAD. Here are 3 tape plugins they have developed: UAD Oxide Tape Recorder, UAD Ampex ATR-102 and UAD Studer A800. One brand I feel I need to mention is UAD, which does amazing plugins which work well on their hardware DSP. Now there are of course a few more tape emulation plugins on the market, so you can dive deeper into this subject if you wish. Developed in association with Eddie Kramer.Created in association with Abbey Road Studios.Includes models of three exclusive tape formulas.Switch between modern and vintage tape.16-track 2-inch tape machine and a 1/2 inch stereo mastering deck.Extra features speed stability, cross-talk etc.Includes three distinctly different tape machine types.But which tape emulation plugins should you choose? 5 Tape Emulations VST Plugins 1. The great thing about tape, and the reason for us wanting to use it even today, is that it colors the sound in what many consider a very musical way, much like vinyl, due to the analog “roundness”.
And it shaped the sound with that analog, warm vibe. In the classic vintage era of music production they used analog master tapes to record the music to. Using a tape emulation plugin is one of the easiest way to get this sound, unless you happen to have high-end analog hardware to route your audio through.
