In fact i had a Tascam portastuido too, and i have not heard the worst cassette tapes to sound this lo-fi. My own Akai gx4000 which was a consumer absolutely-non-pro tape machine ran at 3.75 and 7.5 ips.Įven that did not lowpass the highs nearly as much. In the video you linked, its at 30ips 99% of the time, so no surprise you don't hear the 15ips lowpass. I personally heard various tapes from expensive studer to very vintage, and also 30k expensive tape machines affected sound a lot comparing to digital records. Price: 38.90 Eur, introductory price for first 100 customers: 18.90 Eur only!Īre you sure it wasnt some super magic plugin for 200 eur which literally do almost nothing? and not real tape? it was in your own studio on high quality mastering speakers not in some other studio with room and speakers which you really dont know personally?īecause here at this video I hear that it can goes from very gentle subtle almot unaudible tape sound to very vintage dirty warm tapes. Power (bypass) switch to compare tape sound / dry sound.Hiss control – from almost no hiss of modern tapes to high amount of hiss of old 60s vintage tapes.Device limiting – tape recorder and tape itself produces also natural limiting sound effect, which can be controlled by this knob.Device clip – tape recorder electronics and tape itself can create clipping when signal is too hot, but different type of clipping than ugly digital clipping.Type of tape selector: Tape A421 or C24.With emphasis you can boost trebles and transients at the same time which creates interesting effect. Emphasis – standard tapes makes trebles less intensive and tape’s saturation make transients more rounded, muddy.Feedback control – analog tape recorders/players produces little bit of feedback that affect sound, you can control amount of feedback in wide range with our knob.Wow knob – to control tape wov effect, from very subtle to intensive.Flutter knob – to control tape flutter effect, from very subtle to intensive.Drive / Warmth control – to control input volume level (and level of saturation at the same time).

You can use ASX-72 during mixing modern tracks with subtle settings, to add massive amount of dirt to rock / indie music, to add real analog sound to techno or dnb tracks, to add noisy wavy sound to synthwave tracks, psychedelic atmosphere of twisted old tapes to psytrance / dub or psychill tracks or just to make your digital beats / synths more realistic and natural.Īnalog Tape ASX-72 is lot of fun and sound creativity, it is not just another mix plug-in with almost inaudible effect designed only for few audiophile mix engineers, with ASX-72 you can totally change character of your drums, synths, guitars, vocals, strings and other instruments while you can still use it as very gentle mix processor with low settings.Īnalog tape AXX-72 comes as x32bit / 圆4bit native VST effect plug-in.

We designed Analog Tape ASX-72 to offer various types of tape sound for various styles of use and high level of sound creativity: from very gentle “invisible” modern tape sound to add just little bit of warmth to very fat, grungy vintage sound.

Most of „analog tape“ plug-ins do almost nothing just simple classic saturation (comparing to real reel-to-reel hardware recorder which affect sound in many non-linear ways: for example it produces not just basic saturation but also natural non-linear compression, wow and flutter effect, variable noises and hiss, hysteresis, rounding and softening sharp transients and trebles etc.) Many producers need versatile analog tape plug-in that can emulate various types of analog tapes and their electronics (recording electromagnets, pre-amps) from various ages 1960 to warm 1980 and clean 90s.
