Free/Cheap Analog/Tape Saturation plug-in for Pro Tools?
Wondering what my options are for a quality free or super cheap (under $50) analog saturation plug-in for use with Pro Tools 10. Just got the demo version of Massey Tape Head but doesn't look like you can run it on stereo tracks which is sort of a must for me. I'd really like to get the Sound Toys Decapitator but that's out of my price range. And yes I did a couple searches, didn't turn up a thread dedicated to free or cheap versions. Any suggestions?

Check out the stock lofi plugin that comes with PT. Try very subtle amounts of Saturation and Distortion on individual tracks.

Great suggestion, thanks! I remember trying to dial an overhead sound in the studio with the lo-fi, sounded ok but not great. Then we tried the decapitator and all thought "that's it!". But we were trying to go pretty extreme with the lo-fi, I'll try some more subtle settings. Still am open to more suggestions though
