I call that the #danworrall effect. do not watch Dan's product run throughs if you are not willing to part with a dollar. Also- THIS is an awesome tool ;]
@@Also_Ran I don't know. Maybe you had tried both. Sketch Cassette was to my knowledge the most authentic sounding. So I was just curious if this one was better in some areas. Maybe I should demo it and figure out ;)
I was hoping this was a New Type Cassette deck! I have hundreds of tapes made from back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Just like I have hundreds of reel to reel tapes and 5 Reel to Reel Decks. 4 Akai GX 280D SS and a Teac 2340R. I even still have unused never opened Reel to Reel Tape and Cassettes for when I want to record something new or again. Vinyl is coming back so why not tape too!
@@wavesfactory Great, thanks! However, I bought this from Plugin Boutique, and it billed my PayPal, but they have yet to provide me a serial number. (sad face) It's been a real struggle to legitimately buy this, which is too bad because you guys have a great line-up. I bought Track Spacer a year ago and love it!
@@carlkarl8545 really odd - one thing I figured out with my crash is that it is related to the user interface - if I hide all the UIs then I can load up as many as I want, not sure if it's related to my graphics card or system or what (1080ti latest drivers)
I was about to trash this plugin as just an FX, but I think it might be quite useful as a tone shaping\taming on guitar amp sims\cab-IR as a harsh\sizzle trimmer. Have to test that concept out though... Might work miracles!
I get a "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." when trying to run the exe. Other thank that.... awesome
@sbmphr suuuure, just like my mate said he would have noticed, he didn't - multiple times. How low would I go.... I wouldn't stop you from commenting on the internet. :(
I prefer the real thing! It's a good thing magnetic tape is not sterile, it means it has "soul" "personality" ! Unlike digital which sounds the same! I want hi resolution with imperfections, it gives a much more "realistic" sound stage! Long live "pure analogue"!
yesss!!!! and more yesss!!!!!! , we have to admit that our David The Attenborough will at some moment morphe into all mighty being. we should start training our ears for the next standard cozy, household voice. I agree,,, 1 vote for Dan Da Dworrl
My favorite use is Satin with compander encoder only + Cassette + Satin compander decoder only with tape bypassed. Sounds better than just using cassette alone. Add crostalk on 1st satin and on cassette (how much you want) Can get bright, punchy and glued lofi master. Encoder: type-b, decoder: type-a mod, low bias and gap width, speed 7.25, circuit 7.25 on first satin, flat on second. But you can experiment with different circuits and encoder/decoder ofc, to get brighter or darker sound and different compression.
I'm really looking forward to a plugin that actually emulates Dan Worrall. If he presents the walkthrough it may result in a type of feedback that shifts us to another dimension of reality. Or we all all get teleported to Planet Dan.
What I remember about a cassette was how much we hated what it did to the 2trk scratch mix we'd just done after we spent all night recording, as we handed them out to the band members who had been asleep in the lobby waiting...
But I miss a lot! I want a Tape selector where I can choose extra wrong positions. Also an MPX filter would be very useful especially if you had a original License Dolby-B/C/S and DBX Noisereductions available. That's what I've been locking for a long time. In addition, my favorite cassette types SA-X and MA-R are missing.
I spent many years in the studio recording straight to cassette and then duplicating and distributing my mixtapes. This plugin sounds incredibly close to the real thing. I have to get my hands on it!
Might not be the same, probably not, but in Ableton I choose the Re-pitch algo before I double the length (half speed). Can't figure out though if I have have to record it with Cassette tape emulation on before I do that or use it after.
As a kid I thought I was something of an audio afficionado . I refused to move on to CD until about 1993. I stupidly believed that tape was not only a superior sound but also somehow more true to the spirit in which the music was made. What a pretentious twat I was. It amuses me that nowadays people are yearning for that tape sound once again. I even saw sample packs that were only available on cassette the other month! There's no doubt that a touch of C90 here n there can do great things to your sound but I wonder how the Youth would deal with real tape in their lives?? All that said, I think this a great plug-in.
I'm excited to demo this, looks and sounds great. I think for my workflow I would have liked a drawer at the bottom of the plugin for easier access to the wow and flutter controlls.
I’ve been looking for something like this for many years, so, despite the fact I’m penniless and haven’t bought a plug-in for years, I bought it before I’d even finished watching the video! I’ve demoed loads of similar plugins and effects chains in the past, but this just nails everything that’s important. Thanks!
I love this plugin. It is awesome. Probably the best tape plugin, well... for cassette anyway. It goes above and beyond to be quite honest, and is also great as a creative tool too for various sound design purposes.
I never noticed a change in performance from the tape being erased. Sometimes it wouldn't erase completely and needed another pass for complete silence but that was it. The damage and dropouts from stopping and rewinding the tape however were annoying, and that pre-recorded tape were slammed against 0 without any treble.
Am trying to think of a scenario where I could apply this magic to a voiceover reel. No, can't think of one. But I'm gonna keep thinking. Fancy this toy.
It's a good thing interface scalability is there, too many plugins have huge and unnecessarily spaceous interfaces that just take up screen realestate and are in the way. I wish more plugin manufacturers would consider more the usability than the aesthetics of their user interfaces...
Yes yes yes.... how awesome is that. Instant buy for me. Please add a dry/ wet knob for mixing purpose and to emulate degrading over time effects with DAW automation. Thank you.
*random plugin demo presented by Dan Worrall pops up in my feed* Shit. I wasn’t even thinking of buying this plugin but I know it’s going to be in my toolbox after I watch the video Plus I’ll at least learn something
Were you expecting the tape to run out or need switching sides? That would be an oddly specific level of attention to detail! Maybe there'll be a hidden feature where the tape gets randomly tangled and you have to spend an hour and a half meticulously untangling it.
5:50 loved everything so far but the dropouts / artifacts were always the one thing I hated about tape. I usually only recorded to BASF and later SONY Chrome, once only (not recording over and over), with an AKAI GX71 that optimized bias etc with 3 test tones. You would record with DolbyB (because C sounded awful) hitting the sweat spot (+4 - +7db peak) and then when the tape was faded listen back without, getting that sweet tape compression!
Works best on late 70s early 80s music. I wonder why there isn't a vinyl to cassette effect or attempting to cut the Radio DJ out of the beginning and ending of the track but failing effect. Or even a Hainbach effect.
