A lot of the hype isn't necessarily just the hiss, though that too is as nostalgic as vinyl crackle. What I find as an engineer is that the saturation helped naturally tame spiky transients, which in turn helped our compressors work musically. This is the main reason why saturation is so helpful in a digital age.
And it has almost no low end, so it seem to be cool in parallel, as soon as no phasing issues gonna fuck the sub and mid lo frequencies up. Not sure 100% about it, but really interested in trying it out
@@yaroslavkryvda I would think it would be unideal to put this on the master in most cases, I'd put this type of thing only on individual instruments or groups of them.
This is by far my favorite cassette plugin. They/he did a really good job on it! I personally love the interface, I think it's a good mix between retro and modern design. I fail to see how a flat gui would make it more user friendly. My only complaint is that the shadows are kinda wacky.
If anyone is wondering, the song is Sebastian Forstund - All Around (Young Community Remix). Who is the artist though? This is a really well done song/remix.
as an 80s rapper who used to make beat tapes? THIS SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE the various tapes we would get from radio shack. And then the ones at the better stores.
Not only does Dan Worrall produce excellent videos about mixing, mastering and audio engineering in general, he is also responsible for basically all of Fabfilter's great introduction and explanation videos which is, as we all know, the plug-in brand of Wytse's choice! Bottom line: When you see a Dan Worrall promo video, it is safe to assume that the product meets some basic quality level.
I remember recording on my Yamaha mt50 4-track, Then mixing to my Sony Minidisc recorder via the analogue inputs. People say these mixes sound cool and “together”. And it does. However, recording on a DAW has many huge advantages.. I remember setting the levels a bit hot. Not as hot as in this review. I used a “healthy level “. Still have the 4-Track and MD recorder..
it sounds fantastic I've been using it a lot. I know tape well and this is very unique and it also has a hidden mix feature so you can blend the level of coloration!!!
No pencil needed, yes I am from the 80’thies. But it is some how wired, back in those days we where all looking for the digital sound from CD. We where tiered of the imperfect sound of analog tape, white noise and frequency noise. And now, there are even plug ins that produce that vibe. Honestly, I have no clue what I should think about that. Is that analog vibe really needed or is it just a passing trend?
Tape wasn't bad and the format has some pleasimg softening and saturation characteristics. It's just another tone shaper in the toolbox, but very good on synths and beats/percussion.
Well, the AMS RMX16 is a pretty crappy reverb from a technical standpoint but I still love the crap out of it for the vibe it has. I would not want it to be my only reverb however. It's about having it as a color of choice in your palette, not to be glued on to the master bus. The generation that grew up with cassettes are those who produce music now. It comes pretty natural that they will want to use it as a throwback now that there is some distance to it. I'm pretty sure that its as trendy as it will ever be right now, but it will continued to be used for quite some time. Probably even by those who have no relation to cassettes.
I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but look here, it's an awesome tape channel from an awesome developer: fuseaudiolabs.com/#/pages/product?id=300811205 I love it.
@@nichttuntun3364 You beat me to it. Haha. Fuse Audio Labs plugins are among my/our favorites, by far. Absolute sleeper company. Rei deserves waaaaaaay more credit and success!
TrackSpacer is a secret Swiss knife for making vocals fit. It speeds up the vocal mix process quite a lot with handling problematic instruments to give more space for the vocs :)
Native Instruments also released a free reverb for the Holidays. It's called Raum. Too bad I bought a couple Reverbs already for Cyber Monday. Now I have too many of them :)
I think there is more use than just for a bus channel. Applied to an instrument or a vocal, it can creativity push that instrument or musical segment into its own Retro space and perhaps provide some interesting contrast. On top of that the Mix control (Which Really should live on the front) allows the process to be used as a creative effect, especially if you are introducing pitch instability from cassette and only mixing it in a little as it will then interact with the dry signal.
The imperfection makes perfect. That’s why I love these plug ins. That’s also the reason why I’m still playing vinyl! I’m looking for a plug-in like this for a while now and I can’t make a decision yet. I saw a nice one from Klevgrand Produkter. In fact, two different ones: cassette and vinyl emulation to use inside the DAW. I grew up with the Walkman and vinyl so I’m all in for this stuff. About your first sentences in the beginning of the video: I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for uploading, Wietse. I wish you a great and musical 2020.
First we have audio gear reaching for perfection, now we have perfection reaching for imperfection... ladies and gentlemen we have reached the pinnacle.
they probably don't include a mix control on the main panel because the wow, flutter and a lot of other effects caused by cassettes would cause phasing and/or chorus like effects when mixed with the original signal, so you'd have to turn off certain parts of the emulation in the advanced options if you wanted to simply turn down the effect
Toneboosters reelbus v4 has a killer cassette preset....I grew up on tape and still use it. The best good tape plug is ik tapes studer A80....changed the game that plug.
OK, biggest trick missing here is the secret tapehead azimuth correction trick me and my pro engineer buddies used to use to correct tapes recorded on (other peoples) casseterecorders. The most expensive Nakamichis did that automatically I recall, but we cheapskates used a small screwdriver to do it manually by turning the screw that connected the head to the chassis. Lots of decks had a small hole there! Will always remember how this cleaned up recordings when playing back, sort of removing the blanket! With over 500 cassetes in my student room it really helped a lot to get all of them to play decent..
Cassette tape can sound very clear. My friend once blind AB tested me with a metal tape on a machine that auto calibrates itself for recording each specific tape by recording test tones and reading back. I couldn't pick out the tape on quality basis, I only noted a tiny treble boost and figured it was the original.. nope it was the tape!
well portable audio has a Headphone amplifier output of a few mw while a Home deck has a real line out. Thats quite a difference already. Ps: re-cassette i think is just simulating a tape that has been overwritten 1-2-3-4 times and wears off
I think the micro setting could either be a dictaphone or a cheap computer datacorder beeing used for audio playback. My first music listening experiences as a kid where one of those in the late 80’s. It had a simple mono speaker and a cheap mechanism, good enough for type 0 computer tapes but far from hifi. Did you know that “Radio Piet” in Arnhem has tapes? I bought some there a few months back. They where new old stock. The PDM chrome is my favorite casette so far.
If I want to make tape saturations etc, the waves J37 Studer emulation Would be my Choice. I like the waves factory plug-in but I question how many settings are actually useful.
It's to get some extreme examples of what cassettes can do. I've got a Fostex 280 and would really have to push it into the red to make it sound like that.
Klevgränd makes a plug like this called DAW Cassette that I like quite a bit. I don't know if it's quite as good as this one though. VHS Degradation Suite for Reaktor is cool too, if you want a rougher more lofi sound. Also I believe it's free.
Good work yet again. As I still have tape machines I can get the effect using outboard gear. Have you tried any of the tape effects at airwindows? There are heaps of plug ins there for free with VERY minimalist graphic on the UI though I find I have to watch the related videos to understand the how.
I was so happy when I got my first CD, after listening only to tapes. Everything sounding clean and noise-less, and not degrading over time. Now people want low fi, just like buying expensive clothes that look like they're from a second hand store.
The truth about cassettes.. i grew up with them... most of the time they got ruined - got suck in your player... especially when you were winding back and forth to find the desired track you wanted to listen to... sometimes you had to get meters of tape out of your machine -all folded up - and tried to get it back on with a pencil. next time you played your favourite track it wobbled through you speakers. Now, 30 years later... most of the tracks sound horrible due to loss of magnetic data on it... sometimes i really do not understand why people want that sound (back)...
It is a lot of work to be imperfect. From someone who used ferro cassettes because i couldn't afford records, i don't want to go back to that time sonically.
I love the user interface, skeuomorphism doesn't mean something is not user friendly or badly designed, you can make it smaller too. Sadly badly designed skeuomorphism has been used to sell snake oil so I undertsand why lots of people are just sick of it
Tape hiss was very prominent on cassettes, reel to reel, and 8-tracks so a clean analog filter would be a better idea...any retro vst analog filter will suffice.
I found some new metal position cassettes in Tokyo, but at $100+ each, it was a bit too rich for me. I collect tape plug-ins, so I have to check this out.

Now I will also look into Kazrog True Iron from your review, it sounded pretty awesome
For those who never seen a real cassette player: The two centers of the spools only turn at the same speed if there is an equal amount of tape on each spool. (Is there such a moment while playing a tape?)
The months I spent trying to process the output of cassette tape to make it sound like CD quality (Yes I know, I know NOW, I was just a kid then) it's just I hated cassette tape imperfection, why would I ever want to go back????
LOL, I must be missing it... I too grew up in the era of the cassette tape, and unlike the author of this software I hated every aspect of cassette tape and celebrated its ultimate demise as an audio playback mechanism... Oh well, sigh, to each their own. On another note, you should check out Arturia's free PLATE-140 reverb plug-in. It is not bad sounding, and best yet - it is free (for now).

Took me a while to work out the pencil reference but I got there in the end.
What about tape stretch and warble?
Yeah, I can see using it on individual tracks... Not so much the whole mix.
No pencil is needed for real cassettes, either! Everyone forgets. You can use a Bic pen to wind tapes, but a pencil is too thin and doesn't work.
I just used my fingers.
A Bic pen is perfect for the job.
Bic pen always worked for me. And my fingers if I hadn’t clipped my nails.
I just use my pinky.
yes, bic pen is what the pros use(d) :)
Another great thing about analog - even vinyl is it sounds different on different listens...
It should sound like Maxwell XL2S on a Nakamichi Dragon, but it sounds more like Philips Ferrochrome on a Yoko.....

Thanks for this. Turns out its a pretty good plug in after all 👍

For those who never seen a real cassette player: The two centers of the spools only turn at the same speed if there is an equal amount of tape on each spool. (Is there such a moment while playing a tape?)
Highly doubt this was intended for a master bus. I see producers and post production engineers using it. Dope review.
I think it's exactly where it supposed to be, to emulate listening medium.
Some ppl might opt to use it on tracks, cuz it's art.
The months I spent trying to process the output of cassette tape to make it sound like CD quality (Yes I know, I know NOW, I was just a kid then) it's just I hated cassette tape imperfection, why would I ever want to go back????

I think Pro is a studio grade cassette player/recorder, home is similar but somewhat downgraded and micro is what most people owned, a really cheap cassette player integrated into some system. I think that is what they mean
Does it have a delay built in?
The micro may be a dictaphone cassette type.
They used micro tape in answering machines
Ooh that makes sense. I never heard a walkman sound that bad.
No pencil needed? Does that mean putting the pencil in the hole and rewinding it?
Would you recommend this or Satin, or do you think they're too different to compare?
satin is more useful I think, if u can get both, get both.
Why does it always say snake oil on the pictures? what does it mean?
