The thing is...
It depends on the program and how hard you are hitting the tape.
You really need a multi band dynamic eq/comp.

Not as easy to model as you might think.
Certainly not just a static eq.
The new neve box might be worth a look at. fatso and hedd also.
The Analog channel II plug can be interesting.
But it still ain't tape

I'm suprised to learn that tape accentuates the highs, at least according to your chart. I thought tape had the effect of rolling off the highs after around 3Khz. As far as the lows go, is everything under 60Hz gone, or does tape pick some of that up?
