It came out today: www.softube.com/index.php?id=tapeHas anybody tried it? I love Softube but I'm too lazy to test it against VTM, which I use on every track. I don't want to have MORE options  |

I was trying not to like the sound examples, but they are really good! However, it seems to me that it's geared more towards "tape as an effect", where the Slate VTM is more of "tape as tape", so to speak!

This is probably the tape emulation I like best in terms of pure tape. Softube Tape doesn't do what Tapedesk does when you add the console, so they're not really the same thing. It essentially reigns in dynamics and smooths out the highs while getting the clarity just right. And that's without much tweaking. 15ips is more pleasing to me than 30. But, this is me using it in sessions that also feature HG-2 Black Box, Halcyon, Bx_console, Tapedesk with the N-80, and Nomad Pulsetec with the clipper on. All the other tape sims seem thinner than I would like. So far swapped in Satin, AC202, Magnetic II, VTM, Kramer Tape, and Abbey Road vinyl lite. Based on what I remember of Reelbus, Phoenix II, NLS, Iron Oxide 5/Classic, and J37, none of them do what Softube tape does. So far liking it better on mastering sessions than mixing, but I have to try some more things.

Ive got the demo running.pretty cool.squashes/rounds transients a bit if needed.
still doesnt have the phatness of my m79 though.
still,not bad for an 80 buck plug.
