- Version: 1.0 Regged
Let’s be honest. 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.
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. 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.
Analog 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.
A witch says,
Another scam plugin from Eplex7 / 123 Creative / G-Sonique.
In this plugin, wow & flutter is just "depth" and "speed" of pitch LFO, which is very wrong.
Also, their "oversampling" is massively wrong. They applies anti-aliasing filter AFTER the down sampling.
