Looking for Analog channel/tape emulation plug for TDM/Direct X

Dynodawg · 7th September 2003

Is there a HIGH Quality analog channel/tape emulation plug that I can use with Wavelab 4.0 TDM/Direct X? I've heard great things about the one put out by McDSP but I don't run a Mac.

Thanks,
Dyno

I like psp vintage warmer. Some folks dont. Lots of folks do. In any case you can download a demo from them and decide for youself

Check it out!

I think McDSP is ProToolz only. I also prefer the PSP Vintage Warmer although just running it out through some transformer-coupled analog gear is often more effective than any plug-in.

I'm also going to try to run my mixes thru my pair of Telefunken V76's. I tried it thru my pair of Avalon VT737's and I really liked the results. Much sweeter, fatter and a little more punch.

Just thought I'd follow up on the Bombguys bait. Was there a new plug in like this at the show?

Nothing that I know of was released. Erik, that was a really good one, you had me fooled. I really thought you were going to have some cool analog emulation plug that made everything sound perfect. Hehe, maybe NAMM in Jan...

Looks like the Slightly Rude CompressorTM was released.

I'm digging the Cranesong Phoenix at present.....

speerchucker · 20th October 2003

Agreed. (wassup, Jules?) The Phoenix is wonderful.
I still also find plenty of use for dadTape. Apples and oranges...

One odd thing about the Phoenix, though: I seems to add about 2 db to the rms level of any track. (DadTape does not)

This may be a side-effect, or it may have been added as a rather clever marketing gimmick, hard to say. regardless, you must adjust for this when a-B'ing you unprocessed audio, as well as when A-B'ing against other plugins. I hope Cranesong can eventually "fix" this, as it drives me nuts.

Dynodawg · 20th October 2003

So hey guys, how do Pheonix and Dadtape compare to PSP Vintage Warmer?

Thanks,
Dyno

I was hoping that I would be amazed by loading up an old session I did and inserting the Phoenix on all channels without first auditioning and I was without a doubt amazed. It was one big distorted mushball. The gain that it added on each channel was more than enough to overload the master fader. This is a plugin that you need to add before you start your mix, not after. It does make it hard to A/B processed and unprocessed signals but I would rather it add 2db than to take it away and add it again. Once I started to get used to how it worked I really started to like it. I'm glad they gave me 20 days with it instead of just 10 cause I will end up buying it now.
