ToTape3Demo was the precursor to ToTape4. It’s the ‘high-resolution’, realistic emulation in contrast to Iron Oxide, which is the ‘for effect’, tape-slam sort of plugin. ToTape doesn’t tend to have striking changes in behavior version by version, because it’s toward an emulation target that is itself very high-resolution. It’s about mimicking the tone of magnetic tape […]
IronOxide3Demo added tape flutter to Iron Oxide, and tuned the antialiasing. This is much like ToTape: the basic concept of the plugin doesn’t change that much, though 3 added flutter and 4 added an inv/dry/wet mix control. These are the tape effects, not there to be radically reinvented each year. If you like this one best, […]
IronOxide2Demo is the version of Iron Oxide that introduced separate controls for the top and bottom cutoffs of the plugin. It’s got input and output gains, and also was the first Iron Oxide to introduce antialiasing, which it does in an interesting way: it’s applying randomness to the ‘blur’ between adjacent samples, which is a trick […]
ToTape2Demo is the version of ToTape where I brought in antialiasing. The earlier versions of ToTape went through changes mostly relating to the head bump: trying to get it smoother, managing its tendency to become unnaturally enormous. If you like this earlier version of ToTape best, buy the current one and ask me for a copy […]
