Free vs Cheap vs Expensive Tape Machine Plugins

after researching for a few days I am so bewildered that no one will explain if you can lay a track down then go back over it with another track and repeat...Are you all taking that for granted that everyone would know that? Or do these plugins play /record files to WAV or MP3? I just feel so out of touch and confused I would like to evolve past Audacity

the Voxengo CRTIV tape bus plugin is worth checking out. it has the ability to change the knee of the saturation and also can choose from different tape impulse responses making it very flexible

Kramer Tape has the most shitty looking GUI foreal! 💯🤦🏽

Thank you for the vídeo but, I think the choice of a song full of "lo-fi like" timbres was mistake.

f..k you write free plugins if they cost money ???

Why don't my Reelbus look like this? Is there another version?

Is ReelBus better than Chow tape ??? Thanks for your videos !

V3 of Reelbus is now officially free.

Perfect video! I hadn't really heard of reelbus, and learned so much about the other two that I've owned and loved for years. Clearly and comprehensively presented with good music and no BS. Many thanks!

Maybe TB Reels has a bit to many controls for simple tape emulation duties.
Softube's Tape does a better job with less controls if not pushed to extremes.

Jus my opinion 😉

Have checked out OCS -45 by oversampled?

Thanks good explanation. I’m learning to mix, I purchased a buy one take one deal.. I already purchased channel strip, If given a choice multiband compression vs this tape, which would you recommend to get? Some so essential to having good mix. Thanks

I can't believe how articulate the commentator is with a very clear voice and I assumed knowledge of these products. Yet despite showing off all the wonderful features of these tape emulators, he has picked the worst possible playback source for use to demo these. When you start with a song that is so processed, you can barely hear any difference with each feature he is trying to highlight. There is nothing wrong with the song, just to busy and saturated with effects and artifacts already.

Thank you for sharing

Kramer Tape!

Yessir thanks for the tip. I agree the reelbus has more flexibility. I think I will be using it more. My goto is the Slate digital tape machine.

awesome content, where do I find the reel bus?

There is no demo mode.

you got the tape types all wrong bro

- Softube Tape Types:
A: Studer® A827 2 inch 24-track Tape Recorder
B: Ampex® ATR-102 1/2 inch 2-track Mastering Tape Recorder
C: EMI BTR-3 2-track Tape Recorder (Found Only In Abbey Road Studio)

Toneboosters ReelBus is not free. He's price is 39 euro.

Mia Pfirrman – How to Treat You Right. Nice song :)

What one so you use?

I subbed coz imma send you my tracks for master 🤗🔥🔥🔥

about Waves J37 ?

Demo mode does not means free, that would be the same that saying Reaper is free, and they are clear telling you it's not free

Hey awsome precise and to the point! Great job. Just did not see song tittle in bio. Thanks.

Does the softube tape has some kind of oversampling?

Reelbus 4 is not free !! not expensive but certainly not free

Love the deep dive, yet reasonable time you did this in. I was considering getting the Softube Tape sale for $40, but I think I might just give that money to Toneboosters. Great job once again!!! Barricade and EQ4 coming soon!!! :)

Thank you for awesome content almost everyday!

Esperando la version en latino por estos lados
