we work with a j37. it was built in 1963 and in mint condition! Original j37 building period was 1963 until 1970. Still a phenomenal machine. Along with our C37 a perfect match for producing the 60s mojo...
Hi, here is an in-depth tutorial video where you can hear audio demos of the plugin: www.waves.com/plugins/j37-tape#how-to-use-the-j37-tape-plugin And here is where you can download a free 7-day demo to try out and hear how it sounds on your own source material: www.waves.com/demo
@@waves there is literally no video where this plug in is actually demonstrated, without someone talking over it and just quickly flicking through presets and not giving any time to compare -before-after. The link you supply is one of the few where the plug in is actually used, although the host talks over it all the time. The over videos are just this or that guy talking about it and praising it, with nothing to back it up.
The constraints of "internet sound" bandwidth, computer speakers, and/or the headphones most people use would not allow a full awareness of the subtleties of the enhancements and changes anyway.
this thing is a CPU BEAST. Im currently running a few DAWs... Pro Tools 10 Native (waiting for UAD, Slate, Softube, etc to port to 64bit AAX), Pro Tools 11 Native, Studio One 2.6, and Logic Pro X. When using this in a non 64 bit platform (PT10, PT9, etc) it kills your CPU. 1 stereo instance in Pro Tools 10 consumes 15% of your CPU. Awful. BUT: the Catch 22 is the thing sounds INCREDIBLE. Makes the Kramer sound like a toy. I tend to use it on my 2buss and all Aux Sends/Busses to save on CPU.
It's funny to advertise a plug-in of a dedicated, historic tape machine and no, no, never speak out the name of the manufacturer of this machine, especially if it is the best kown. Studer J 37 is its full name.
New is not always better. In fact there are many examples when new is worse then older. For example food grown and made in old way before food chemistry was invented was alot more health and much more testy. Analog music instruments sound better then best modern digital recreations. Analog recordings with analog consoles and tape machines delivered to people in analog format sound much better then digital recordings delivered to people in digital formats. Ancients languages are miles more superior to modern languages. And so many other examples.
Every Beatles song I've ever heard has a super lo-fi bad quality 60s sound to it, just like every other band/recording from that era. I don't understand why people praise old equipment that worsens your sound instead of improving it. It's like praising a dot-matrix printer and brainwashing yourself that it prints sharper than a laser printer when it doesn't. Yes tape has its own character but people praise old microphones, compressors, tape machines, etc for their "fat" sound, yet the music from the era when they were used sounds lo-fi and "telephone" quality compared to today's fat, pristine sound.
It distorts (create harmonic), compress and equalize the sound in a subtle way that make the tracks sound less flat, digital and boring, in my opinion.
fat, obese, chunky lump, pristine digital nothingness just doesn't stay in the consciousness and has no nostalgia value says nothing and is instantly as forgettable as the add that preceded it even though they sound the same. Long live Iron Oxide and the Dialatron that tells you theres one on the way..

The delay on this plug in is fantastic.
I have the J37, very happy with the plugin.
Best thing I’ve bought in a while
place it on every track...instead of just on the stereo bus.
why are we only hearing these guys talk and not hearing the plugin itself?

Waves Audio great thanks!

Completely untrue
false
Proud owner
everybody talks about the cpu load but that was nearly 10 years ago. how will that stack up to my 8 core?
Feel free to demo it and try out for yourself: waves.com/j37

Depends on the DAW. In Reaper, you can throw it onto every track and it barely makes a dent on the CPU.
Check out the demo and it made my track "Aurora Spark" come alive.... It sounded great... Considering to buy
How Difference BT J37 and Kramer Tape???
BT J37 Sounds better, it also actually does, what you need and nothing more.
all wave plugins work on reaper I tryed them and they work on vst and au
If you put this on every track in a normal, 50-100 track session, you'd kill your CPU. The J37's a BEAST. At least thats been my experience.
Reaper can handle it, no prob.
how about the cpu consumption?, krammer tape is a cpu killer
no support for Reaper?

Waves did a very nice job here....but the original is the original ;-)
better than nothing
I really WAAAANT to believe.... But it sounds like snake oil and nostalgia.
pure digital? its still pure digital did I miss something?
well duh its a plugin

52 tubes ! Not solid state.

its the imperfections that make somthing perfect ;)

Cuarzo Software yup

Great. For FIVE minutes, you "talk" about the plugin. Unbelievable.
This is what's wrong with modern recording.
blah blah blah.
