This Tape Saturation plugin from Softube is exactly what I was looking for. I tried many different saturators, but this one has that gentle, subtle touch that I needed.
Softube really has nailed the saturation plugins better than others. I often use their saturation knob on vocals, and it's amazing.
Thanks for taking the time to give us a great product review. I'd been wanting to pick up a saturation plugin but didn't think I would find one that had enough to offer at an affordable price. Now I have one. That said, I was most excited to hear Suzy's beautiful voice gracing the latest iteration of your song in progress. I can't wait to hear the finished work!
Another great video Mike! You are truly helping all those musically minded!
Thank you!
I've had this plug-in for about a year, I find it great for warming up guitars - it's a brilliant plug and cost me a lot more than it's going for in the offer! Thanks for all the info Mike, I even learnt something more about it today!
Well OK!!! Very helpful & informative!!! Thanks for a great video. I think your video on this plug is the most informative, showing the flanging effect with the mix is way cool, it makes for a very nice effect that I like better than most flanger effects - Much Appreciate this video!
I really like that Run/Stop feature.
Mike it sounds great. I love you channel, I used to be a guitar tech in the 80's and 90's . After that I went to school and get my degree in music production and engineering so now I'm doing a lot of writing engineering but like I said if channel is very very good Mike love it take care
Excellent review Mike - probably a bit of a subtle effect for me but that's because I'm from Yorkshire ;-) - great to hear Suzie's voice again!
Great Music - Not these usual synthetically boring downloaded horrible sounds which are often used to demonstrate a plugin. Keep up the good work and thanks for this informative video.
Agree, amazing music
Thank a lot for the review! It was so helpful for me)
Mike's recordings always sound so good.
Thank you!
You're welcome, I've been watching you for quite a while. I've learnt so much from you, Cakewalk is now my DAW because of you. I record at home (I'm just an amateur) but you and Glen Fricker are my favourites. Thankyou Mike
I really like the sound and I believe it is worth the $39. Thanks Mike!
Excellent show. Perhaps one day I'll be good enough to need/appreciate such a subtle plugin...till then I'm happy if I can bash out the odd tune!
Really nice video my friend, thank you!
Great review!! Thank you
Hi Mike. Thanks for the review. Funny thing, I was just looking at that plugin yesterday at Plugin Boutique. I'll follow your link and pick it up. I really like that it doesn't add volume, just effect. P.S. Don't forget to get a walk in today. :)
Thank you man. I'll get that walking after dinner. The BP is starting to go down a little the past few days!
Your content is superb!
Thank you!
@@CreativeSauce love from India ♥
It is the only 3rd party plug in that can be use as "mix fx" on studio one. It is really dope and I wish more devs will dig into cause it is one of S1 strength
Great plugin.. I love it.. feel free to check also the Softube Harmonics Analog Saturation Processor, which is also really powerful.
This plugin is a monster
Hi Mike. Great review of the plugin. I was wondering how you think this compares to the tape saturation plugin in Cakewalk's pro channel.
I think they are both quite subtle, and perhaps the cakewalk one more so. This really has a lot more options, which in the long run will be helpful.
Nice song
Interesting take on not making driven solely by input volume.
Hi great video.Is this the same exact plugin that is sold on the softtube site, thank you!
Thanks for all the great knowledge. Question: do you know of a stereo delay plugin with a hold button? Running Studio One 5 Artist. I've downloaded the old Ibanez dm1100 it had a hold button on it but it's not stereo and does not have a snyc feature . Doing some guitar loops. Thanks!
Sounds great do they force you to download the entire Softube suite to get this one plugin?
Hi Mike I like the sound of this plug in, I think you've just sold me one.
With the stop and run button can u automate it???
greettings mic, this plugin is good for lofi hip hop creators gonna love this on the piano.
I think so yes!
Wow... I'm fluttered by this feature!!
I see what you did there. Just don't use that joke too often because you'll saturate the comment sections.
Can this Softube Tape be also used as Master Tape on your mix bus???
I use Studio One 5 by the way.
Thanks for this review! I've heard about tape saturation plug ins before and had been looking at this one in particular. How does this measure up to other plug ins of this type... (Steven Slate.... UAD etc...) even at the $99 US Price point this still looks like a good investment for my toolbox...
Sorry, I need help. Softube tape, on Daw Reaper does not work. Can you help me?
I always have difficulties with "subtle" effects. What is the point in using them, when you can only hear a difference with studio equipment? My songs will be listened to heavily compressed on YT or Smartphones. I could hear the change especially on lower speed settings, but I couldn't hear any difference between 15 and 30. Even the noise was almost non-existent. And I listened with studio headphones (the same I use to mix). The whole topic reminds me a bit of homeopathy - you will say it works, if you believe in it.
There is credibility to what you say, in that if you don't feel its adds anything don't use it.
Some people say the type of wood used for the body of an electric guitar makes a difference. I personally don't hear it. On the other hand, the wood of an acoustic is like a fingerprint to me, each is very unique.
The one thing I will say, is that the differences I hear is very subtle, and may differ from one song to another.
But you raise a very valid observation, thank you!
Sometimes saturation is used as a mixing tool and not so much an audible effect. And this type of saturation might be the kind of saturation that a certain audio source is calling for. Or it might not.
I like to think that a good mix it's built around multiple steps that create the final product. It's subtle incremental details like this that add up and get you to a good sounding mix.
To be honest, the way you use this particular plugin is by driving the input volume in the hidden menu, so you get more colouration, then you start hearing the depth of the effect, otherwise the effect can be too subtle to hear when just using the amount knob, as the default colour is actually a low saturation setting, many other saturation plugins will give you an already hot input signal automatically to give you that wow factor when you first use it. Your brain is telling you “it’s louder” that means it’s good, and I like how softube hasn’t felt the need to do this.
@@tomleermusic I was just fiddling with it and stumbled across this!!! Raised the hidden input up to the brink of clipping then backed it off a little, pulled the output slider down a bit then bam!!! I could hear the difference in the various knobs. At first I couldn’t hear ANY difference whether it be on my studio monitors or grado cans. I treated it like it was one of my tube guitar amps lol
nice video, but I really wish you would have mentioned it was iLok.. such a pain to install that I would have bought baby Audio Taip instead maybe. No one likes ilok and I really don't like that it installed PACE on my computer. Good thing I test all plugins on my laptop before they go on the studio PC.
Let me finish my milk, I have to like Mike's YT video too😂
LOL :)
Oehh that is a sweet deal, i have IK Tape collection so i have to pass it.. but would get it if not!
Yup, both good :)
@@CreativeSauce 👌Nice
Hello!
I don’t understand why you would add saturation if the goal is to get clean clear and crisp mixes... what am I missing?
You typically dont want to use saturation to the point of distorting anything, just to beef up certain instruments without having to use compression or losing dynamics. Some people even use it to glue instruments and the track as a whole together.
Saturation is one of the core elements of a "crisp" mix.
Is this an advert?
No. Its my opinion. As I said in the video, I'm not getting paid for this. Also note that I wasn't entirely complimentary. Although I think this is worth buying I think the noise feature, and run/stop feature are not at all useful to me.
I thought it was a fair. balanced review
Gee it dose make a difference in the sound and it "LOOKS' cool but, Why?
Great video but I didn't get it Mike. Way too subtle for me.
It's about the harmonic character it adds. If you put in on different instruments it would make more sense. I love tape on drum busses. The harmonic and compression it adds is amazing. I've never used this plugin but most tape plugins is very noticeable especially if you slam the signal
matthew messner i’m trying to emulate the 80s signal flow and i want something i can add on my master. would you recommend this or the Waves J37 or Kramer?
i just bought it for 29 USD and am looking for videos to justify my purchase lol
The noise is too subtle that I couldn't hear it.
I agree, its very subtle indeed.
Try adding it to all your tracks!. I had tried once and I got horrible results!. I applied a tape saturation plugin as an fx channel on my orchestral template.
It gets way louder on lower speed settings.
There are two issues I would like to mention. First - you are using good music for the demonstration of this plugin. Most people just use stupid, boring and silly downloaded loops to demonstrate a plugin. Music should be played by real musicians using real instruments. And second - your explanation of this plugin is very informative. Keep up the good work and thanks for this video.
