Tape Sound In A Plug-In

US G-Sonique releases Analog Tape ASX-72      07/07/22

G-Sonique has released Analog Tape ASX-72, a 32bit / 64bit native VST effect plug-in. This is what they have to say about it...

Let's be honest. Most of "analog tape" plug-ins do almost nothing just simple classic saturation (comparing to real reel-to-reel hardware recorder which affect sound in many non-linear ways: for example it produces not just basic saturation but also natural non-linear compression, wow and flutter effect, variable noises and hiss, hysteresis, rounding and softening sharp transients and trebles etc.) Many producers need versatile analog tape plug-in that can emulate various types of analog tapes and their electronics (recording electromagnets, pre-amps) from various ages 1960 to warm 1980 and clean 90s.

We designed Analog Tape ASX-72 to offer various types of tape sound for various styles of use and high level of sound creativity: from very gentle "invisible" modern tape sound to add just little bit of warmth to very fat, grungy vintage sound. You can use ASX-72 during mixing modern tracks with subtle settings, to add massive amount of dirt to rock / indie music, to add real analog sound to techno or dnb tracks, to add noisy wavy sound to synthwave tracks, psychedelic atmosphere of twisted old tapes to psytrance / dub or psychill tracks or just to make your digital beats / synths more realistic and natural.

Analog Tape ASX-72 is lot of fun and sound creativity, it is not just another mix plug-in with almost inaudible effect designed only for few audiophile mix engineers, with ASX-72 you can totally change character of your drums, synths, guitars, vocals, strings and other instruments while you can still use it as very gentle mix processor with low settings.

Features:

  • Drive / Warmth control - to control input volume level (and level of saturation at the same time)
  • Fatness knob
  • Flutter knob - to control tape flutter effect, from very subtle to intensive
  • Wow knob - to control tape wow effect, from very subtle to intensive
  • Bias control
  • Feedback control - analog tape recorders/players produces little bit of feedback that affect sound, you can control amount of feedback in wide range with our knob
  • Drive switch from low to high
  • Emphasis - standard tapes makes trebles less intensive and tape's saturation make transients more rounded, muddy. With emphasis you can boost trebles and transients at the same time which creates interesting effect.
  • Type of tape selector: Tape A421 or C24
  • Device clip - tape recorder electronics and tape itself can create clipping when signal is too hot, but different type of clipping than ugly digital clipping. You can control it with this knob.
  • Device limiting - tape recorder and tape itself produces also natural limiting sound effect, which can be controlled by this knob
  • Hiss control - from almost no hiss of modern tapes to high amount of hiss of old 60s vintage tapes
  • Tape speed selector: 30ips / 15ips
  • Output volume knob
  • Power (bypass) switch to compare tape sound / dry sound
