The one thing I haven’t figured out about tape saturation is this. If you dial up the preamp gain on a mixer, you will drive the circuit, whether it be tube distortion from a tube console, or transistor distortion from a solid state console. So how do you push a signal hard enough to saturate the tape without inadvertently adding overdrive from the tubes or transistors themselves? This question, of course, applies to actual analog tube, transistor and tape situations rather than digital emulations.
That is a great question! Yes, you would need to have some sort of very clean and high-endy signal chain going into the tape, something that can give you lots of clean gain. But also, you can also work with the tape machine and calibrate it in ways to make it easier to overdrive. But yeah, from that perspective it is easier to work with digital emulations:)
It's all about recorder alignement. You can make it less driving recorder input transformers and more driving tape heads or the invert.
And of course, on big analog studio console, you got a small fader to control the signal send to the recorder independant from the preamp gain.
when to use which?
virtual tube saturation?
Choob saturation 😊
You can change the tape type on UAD tape emulations too.
Yes, that is true:) Thanks for watching
