I listened to both recordings a few time. Yes I could hear the difference - you are right it's very subtle. I love your videos

[filecciabilly]

They are Simply the best out there. I own most tape plugins Waves, Softube, Black Rooster, Ozone, Acustica Audio, Reel Bus ect. and IMO IK blows all of them off on my mixes, I not saying I will not use the others, but IK is the final touch whether on separate tracks or the whole Wins, But you better have a decent computer or just freeze them when needed.
What the Machine 80 dose to the low end and Transients it's the closest to Take them for a test ride

I can hear it.. It doesn't change a lot but it really makes a difference.. To me these tape machines sounds like they just filled up the empty ness in recording😊.. I love your content like always and switched to cakewalk as my main DAW after watching your series on cakewalk😎..

Mixing is so fun... Loved the video, I have this plugin and honestly it was hard for me to understand them and get the best out of them. The way I was using them wasn't giving me too much color but after watching this it gave me a whole new perspective on them

I am a big Fan of the T-Racks VST's and have been using T-Racks 5 Mastering suite for about 8-9 years now. It isn't cheap but this will be a great add on to the mastering suite. Thanks.

Damn the 99 sounds amazing... Creamy and silky

I could hear the difference, It did change the brightness. 2nd setting you used I felt in solo? That gave it more top end sparkle, Which I feel that would probably cut nice on a mix. 3rd setting had more midrange focus on that vocal it sounded bit muddy I felt for a vocal... No doubt that setting will suit other material. T Racks V2 MAX to be fair in the sale? I think its like 47 squids! For what you get in that bundle? Is well worth it...

Excellent explanation, however I get a "page not found" on the download link ?

[vangibz]

i don’t think i’d be where i am today if it wasn’t for your tips and tricks honestly!

Interesting Mike 👍 Loved the Machine on the guitar....all very subtle.

[traezaX]

I heard the difference on the high end ... on the sss especially adds sparkle to them

[joegrint]

Very interesting Mike - very subtle though especially through my hi fi which I have my PC connected up to - no space for monitors as well in my attic. Bet you kicked yourself when you heard the glitches!

HI i used reel to reel decks for years

the thing is used tape has it's thing and sounds great using the logic takes that sound away i have soundcraft 760 deck
and otari there's something about the old decks that sound better in the mix at the mix down
i never use them a day to day work they would not take the hrs of using


tascam are doing the same plug in tape decks i know the real deck are hard to find now i got my deck when studio's
were selling them of

[sqwop]

I tried to download demo but when I finally register and open the product manager I can't find any of the tape plugins, even search says "no result"

[oinkooink]

warmth & fidelity....code for dullness & harshness

[MilkoOfficialChannel]

I can hear clicks and pops in the voiceover of an audio software review

[sevchyk]

Hey people, who tried these plugins on your own?

[Triumphinchrist]

How does this compare to Slate digital?

[jimfogle]

Interesting video. My biggest disappointment is they didn't include some version of the Teac 3340. I'd be willing to bet that the 3340 was in more home studios than all four of the machines in this collection All of these were originally designed for professional use in a studio.
It would be nice if the interface included (optional) sound effects. In real life working around the sound on the transport engaging was a big challenge for home recorders. The push button tape speed selector switch sounds very different than the toggle switch tape speed selector. When play is pressed transport engagement sounds different for each one. The visual is so realistic it's a shame they didn't include the sounds.
