I mean, it was a lot better than the old cassette tape analog multitrack home studio stuff, but after hearing all the hype about how digital was the way of the future, and then using some of that gear, it was very, well, meh. Kinda like all the weaknesses of old cheap analog systems combined with all the weaknesses of early digital systems at the same time. I'm still waiting for someone to reproduce that sound from back in the 90's of 8 track minidisc systems. Know what else we need? A simulator for improperly setup sound systems! Simulate a stereo speaker array with the speakers too close together and aimed at your shins! :D set the headphones next to the tape dropouts? What about the different "clunk" sounds hitting stop/start made on the really shitty decks for home recorded tapes? You folks doing that too? For the nostalgia of your favorite song getting chopped in two? Does it have a dropout simulator? Are there settings for tape chewed up dropouts vs. There were officially released pre-recorded cassettes like this, not bootlegs. It wasn't respooled and restarted for the fade back in. proper too? What about the thing with a pre-recorded tape where the release was so cheap that they would fade out a song at the end of one side and fade it back in in progress on the other side? This was done to conserve tape (not leave a blank section at the end of one of the sides) and it faded back 'in progress' meaning you miss the bit during the fade out/in. I find that the question: "Yeah but how does the 24 bit HD copy sound to you compared to that vinyl?" is usually met with "What's that?"Īre there settings to mimic the different mutilations from high speed dubbing vs. Someone compares a CD that was mastered for 'portable devices' with the brick wall slamming and high end eq blast and finds some vinyl copy that is significantly better (and actually truer to the sound of the master). I suppose to be fair, there's an element of confusion in this one. So just like the faux "vinyl resurgence" which is also all about reproducing the sound of malfunctioning equipment. Pretty darn close to 1:1 with proper calibration and free of most of the common artifacts form malfunctioning or cheap equipment or tape stock. I remember being able to get a pretty decent recording with my Nak MR-1 with Maxell MX-S tapes. With the MRX-90, he released another free tape-like effect processor for Reaktor. The ensemble does not attempt to recreate any known tape or tape recorder from the past.We're doing nostalgia for damaged cassettes or malfunctioning or uncalibrated cassette decks now? One of these is MRX-90 from James Peck, the same developer who released the great VHS Audio Degradation Suite or the lovely Bluewave subtractive synth. In this huge number of available user ensembles, there are of course repetitions and then but also real pearls. They range from classic to experimental synths, unique effects up to inspiring new blocks for R6. In the Reaktor user library, you will find an incredible amount (5000+) of instruments, effects, and modules that can be download for free. Not only because you have endless possibilities, but also thanks to its huge community. Reaktor is one of the most beautiful software synth platforms out there. With the new MRX90, James Peck shows us another beautiful free Reaktor 6 tape-like effect processor that adds saturated goodness to your tracks
