I run the plug-in in Pro Tools LE 7.4 that run with either a Digi 002R audio interface or a Digidesign Micro Box.
I am currently running the Softube Tube Delay on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM.
I haven't seen the manual for the Softube Tube Delay, so I can't say if it is helpful or not, but I would imagine that most users won't need one. There is also a tempo synch button switch that comes in handy pretty often. The interface has parameters for treble and bass, as well as a mix knob, a delay time knob, a feedback knob, and both a dry and wet drive knob. While maintaining a good amount of parameters to control your sound with, the plug-in is easy to understand as the typical functions are easy to find. It only took a matter of minutes and figuring out the interface of the delay didn't take long either.
I'm also mildly disappointed at the dramatic high frequency loss at the cleanest setting.The Softube Tube Delay was easy to install as I didn't have any problems at all with it. I suspect it's for when you want people to notice and say, "hey, that sounds lo-fi" or something. So, if you have anything to add to the story other than senseless arguments, you are more than welcome to reply.I have it. No need to prove anything my dude, you are not superior to anyone. So, if you have anything to add to the story other than senseless arguments, you are more than welcome to reply. That's what any reasonable person with a proper sense of semantics would expect. Even if it's called "dirty", I would expect some fidelity retained with the drive and dirt parameters set to their cleanest / lowest values. Hence I'm surprised my very lovely Sketch Cassette leaves more of the upper frequency content than "Dirty Tape"would at the cleanest setting.
One would expect a tape cassette to have a narrower bandwith. This is directly related to the frequency bandwith. While R2R tapes typically offer between 30 and 7.5 IPS, cassette tapes typically run at 1 7⁄8. In fact: cassette tape is in essence the compact, lower IPS version of a reel-to-reel tape. Both are based on the same technology: both are analog tape recording and playback formats. Then you claim: tape cassette and reel-to-reel tape have "absolutely nothing in common", which is obviously nonsense. It's obviously a deliberately exaggerated effect, I think anyone with a common sense and even only minor experience would agree. Sure, one would expect some degree of high frequency loss, but nothing nearly as drastic as the behavior Dirty Tape exhibits at it's cleanest / lowest settings. Look, there is no such thing as a commonly accepted definition of what a "dirty tapehead" (as you put it) would sound like. And because of that it's called dirty tape.Īn emulation of an old machine with dirty heads has absolutely nothing in common with the emulation of a cassette deck.You come off as slightly argumentative.
Like a filter for a photograph, Dirty Tape takes a track from flat to full color in seconds.įrom January 25th to the 31st, Softube Dirty Tape is complimentary, making lo-fi distortion from the masters available for all. Perfect for samples, instruments, and beat making, Dirty Tape can add grimy distortion and saturation or understated texture and movement to a sound. As soon as Dirty Tape is loaded, it imbues a track with warm, analog vibes. Now, the company is releasing Dirty Tape.ĭirty Tape delivers instant lo-fi modulation and distortion with Softube-quality sound. Linköping, Sweden, January 25th, 2021: The Rock & Roll Scientists at Softube have been called the “Swedish distortion masters.” With plug-ins like the acclaimed and much-loved Tape, it’s safe to say they know their way around a tape machine.
