DUY DaD Tape AU/VST/RTAS released

[mobilemozart]

Hi,
DUY just released DaD Tape Native for RTAS, AU, VST, MAS.

299 € / 367 US $ + VAT

[keithl]

is it me or is that price a tad steep?

I bought the everpack a while back and I thought that package was the price of
tape!

I could be wrong though.....guess I'll stick with AC1/AC2 for now

[Schmacko]

It's actually $293 for US customers this month. Still ridiculous!

[siddhu]

But is it any good???

[keithl]

I remember trying to get my everpack authorized...that was a nightmare,

(nothing against the company, I use the valve and wide plugs all the time...they are really good)

Just with the authorization and cost..... I will probably just step sloooowwwlyyy away!

[cl516]

colortone... PSP... Massey... there are other choices aren't there?

i couldn't even get a demo from DUY awhile back.

does this DUY tape plug still hold up, today is Feb.9, 2007.

Im Native Mac user. How does Duys Tape plug stand up against the TDM and RTAS versions of other MAc based tape emus? McDSP Cransong ad Massey

cranesong phoenix is THE tape emulation plug-in, sounds amazing!

[t_d]

been playing with the Tape demo on a couple of mixes.. and i'm finding i'm liking it quite a bit... it seems you have to be careful adjusting it, which i think is a plus... because it allows control to have it be pretty transparent but also you can push it for a really analog sounding subtle distortion which was a bit too much for an entire mix, but may be really nice for individual instruments.

it seems to be a totally different beast than ColorTone Pro... which doesn't have the pushing features, imho...

hmm.. tasty indeed..

back to playing...

watching how Dye abused these plugins on milar......

I wish they were for PC. Watching MILAR got me interested in them as well.

Well, someone mentioned Voxengo TapeBuss, also there's Colortone Pro with the portico tape impulse - so far the best in the PC land that I have found. The other alternatives - magneto, Samplitude's tape, Izotope Trash's tape, PSP saturator, +some others I have tried don't really cut it as far as "tape" sound is concerned.

But DUY tape is totally in another leauge. I have logic on my macbook and just trying the DUY demos out - it's THE best tape plugin I've heard period. I have done some great mixes, getting much more from the plugin than I expected. I'm buying and going over to the Logic land. Unless they have a vst version for mac, I'm a cubase user - but have several years of Logic experience in the past, so in any case it doesn't matter - I'm getting these plugz some action. I'm glad they came to the "native land".

I also use Logic Pro on a Mac G5, and I installed the demo, but when Logic was going through its Audio Units verification, it hung on DaD Tape and I couldn't get past that. I tried several times, but the same thing happens.

Anyone else have that problem, or any suggestions?

Thanks.

I could be that the authorization window is behind the AU validation screen. Its not actually hung, but it waiting for you to input the serial/C/R/ilok.

Check to see if its something like that.

[Macaroni]

That was it!

Thanks Pete!

Now let's hear what this thing can do.

[KingUgly]

It's cool, but not $300 cool.

Cool! glad I could help!

As an upgrader from the native Everpack 2.5 its comes to $341.00 with tax and Vat crap. Thats from DUYS online store. Im gonna wait a few days to see what happens when the US online stores have it in stock.

[cl516]

hey hey... just downloaded the tape demo.
it's not bad... subtle and nice.

is it worth the dough though... $$$. gotta think about it over the next 14 days of demo time.

[gk_nz]

No PC VST ?

[t_d]

i gave in and bought it.. i've been using it on a track i'm working on and really, really like it... and have a feeling i'll be pretty upset in 12 days when the demo expires.. so i just bit the bullet..

i think it's a wonderful tool.. it can be pushed a bit with pleasing results. i haven't tried it on vocals, but i bet it could be really sweet...'

[id-rejected]

Last year I emailed DUY *3* times regarding my iLok authorization and NEVER got a reply. Totally unacceptable. You have been warned.

[Mixocalypse]

I just bought the Tape Plug last night. Got everything within the hour. ilok asset was delivered this morning. Less then 12 hours for full authorization. I think thats pretty good!
I was wrong above. As an upgrader that VAt was dropped at check out. the total was 293.00

I also bought the Everpack last year and that when very smoothly. Then last march I did the upgrade to use iLok, no hitches there either.
I did however have a problem last year before I bought anything. I had emailed asking a question then never got a reply. i guess they had some serious server/web problems at the end of 05.

From the movie of Beavis and Butthead do America:
"It's coming out of the ass' ass!" :D

In this case, yes - emlulator's emulator.

Interesting thing is though - it sound very different when using it with colortone pro, voxengo pristine space, or for example SIR - with the colortone sounding the best, followed by voxengo and SIR not sounding good at all with the same impulse.
