Massey Plugins go VST with the TapeHead

[dto4music]

Thanks for this, downloaded and love it. When can we look forward to seeing the rest of these plugins?

All of you who are mindlessly defending Steve and his team are just a bunch of sheep.

Great developer? Obviously. Company that has made some great contributions to our work? Obviously.

But did they royally screw up this roll out? OBVIOUSLY.

So awesome that they are above all criticism and beyond reproach? OBVIOUSLY NOT.

Steve and his team screwed up.

If he's half the pro you think he is, he probably feels the negative response is completely warranted and understandable. I bet you won't find him complaining about the complaints even for a second.

That's because the complaints are valid. So calm the F down, Steve isn't Justin Bieber and you (probably) aren't a screaming 13-year-old girl.

So stop acting like one.

Couldn't disagree more!!

Firstly, the announcement was made 4 days ago and it was fixed 3 days ago. Leaving us one day without something we certainly are NOT counting on to get our work done.

I haven't even tried the darn thing yet. Why? Because as a professional, I don't use my "working" time for trying out new toys.

Secondly, there's a generous demo available which means I highly doubt anyone purchased this software and didn't get what they wanted.

I've been using Massey plugins from the very beginning and have never had an issue with them. They don't require iLok (which most people complain about) and they sound fantastic. They're incredibly reasonably priced and each time I buy a new computer and have to re-authorize it, Massey is always the first to respond with my codes.

I can think of very few companies I would endorse as much as Massey.

In fact, my only complaint has been having to make Reaper tutorials without them. No more.

Enjoy.

Jeez. Thanks Dad.

Working great here on Digital Performer 8.01 @32 bits. Looking forward for the rest of the plug ins. Also, could be great if a 64 bit version is coming too!

Great News

We plan to have at least a couple more released next month. Right now, CT5 and vt3 are closest to finalization.

After that it's a little less predictable which will be ready next. As folks have noted, we also need to tackle VST3/64-bit at some point soon. But, the mood of this thread implies it might be prudent to prioritize THC to the top of the list . I also want to use the opportunity of a new platform to make some minor improvements here & there. It's always tricky to tweak a plugin after release as it usually involves breaking preset and/or sonic compatibility, so now is a great time.

It's not a piece of life saving technology, it's a TAPE SIM. Calm down man!

Absolutely.

It's exactly the kind of people I'd not like to work with. What a bad state-of-mind.

[SWAN808]

Ive got an issue where the vst tapehead demo is not showing up in my plugin list - Ableton 8.3.4 OSX 10.7.5...

[jamwerks]

Maybe a stupid question here but, who using the vst format is still working in 32 bit?

[basic]

So glad Massey is making new products, just wish it was all-new rtas plugin designs, rather than redone designs for cranky vst users, haha.
I own literally all Massey plugs and never had one that was anything but totally smooth and bug-free, high quality stuff for sure.

[thelivingroomgr]

Just raising a voice for the AU crowd! Would love to get my hands on the De:Esser and the L2007!!

[gear is cool]

I like the massey d'esser, its used it often around here- yes, I paid for it.

I also think it is great that they rolled out something new and useful to some -thanks Steven.

I find it somewhat unsettling the sense of entitlement that some folks have displayed on this thread.

Its like saying "now I can't finish the record I'm working on without something I've never used before".

Really...ok...

That's great news! But please don't make us wait too long for the L2007 Limiter. I really liked it when I tried it at my friends studio.

Well, that's not my case at all, I own and use all the Massey plug ins in my Protools Rig. The thing is that I hate to compose and arrange in PT, I do most of my stuff in DP, so Massey moving to VST is great news because I love his plug ins.

Best regards.

This is the one I am waiting for too. That limiter is excellent.

My comments weren't directed toward you, sorry if you thought they were.

I think the dude should cut massey some slack, that's it.

Its cool

Honestly, I really like Massey stuff, that is why I jumped like a teenager girl when read the news.

[twoifbysea]

Way too many options right now to bother with a vst that isn't 64 bit. Good luck though.

[mika2011]

thank for steve! bought it instantly...

I WOULD LOVE TO USE THE L2007 LIMITER in my vst system.

worked with it on pro tools and never found something as good for drumbuss (dance, rnb)... huge fan of pensado's place and he is using especially this one (and the de-esser) all the time too!!!!!

best wishes,
mika

[peter_martin]

Seriously, that tape head medium AU is kind of what had me waiting, waiting, and waiting for years to finally get to use this on my project rig.

Can't wait for the limiter to be released VST/mac.

[diogo_c]

Great plug. Really loving the simplicity of the free version.

[zinzin]

i have the free AU demo from 2007. is there a difference sonically to this new version?

[Googlyman]

Bump.

I downloaded the demo and it only contains the Tapehead vst. Is the rest also ready ?
