Amazing plugin I love the difference from the UAD sound it gives me when looking for that different sound or color

我觉得3348 TAPE是很好的工具!

它在我的总线和母带上非常有用,我一直在寻找能够得到磁带机那样能够削平高频刺耳感的声音。但是模拟磁带机的频率响应往往是不完整的,比如说它们会带来一些高低切,这在EDM的母带中是并不适用的。我也尝试过Empirical Labs FATSO那样的Tape Simulator,或者是Soothe那样的光谱共振峰抑制器,又或是Ozone Vintage Tape。效果听上去不错,但对于低频瞬态感的响应并不是那么好。而3348 TAPE作为一款数字磁带机插件,它理应具有比模拟磁带机更宽广的频率响应,同时又能削平高频突出的峰值,对低频瞬态感的反应也是更好的,它就是我的立体声母带的版本答案。

level matching is incorrect

It doesn't completely null, so it's certainly doing something but the linked volume isn't the same level, so in bypass your original is quieter which tricks your ears.

When correctly level matched the effect is extremely subtle.
It seems like a sort of soft clipper with an EQ bump for the different models.

The image looks like Wallace and grommet claymation rather than an 80's slick reel to reel. The urine orange reel makes me want to vomit, just make them both white/silver please.

That being said, I do like it, the digital meters are cool, and I love the idea of it even if I don't know how close it is to the hardware sonically.
