  • This is a tutorial of the U-He Satin Tape machine plugin. You can use it as a tape recorder, delay or flanger. This is a high quality tape emulation plugin which you can use for LoFi applications as well as more subtle tape glue and saturation.

    [tape speed] _"If you set it really fast you start getting more kind of Lo-Fi sound"_
    This is wrong, faster tape speed (more tape passing the record head when recording) will give you a higher quality (less Lo-Fi) sound.

    • @davelordy
      @davelordy 2 роки тому

      ​@aniss That's not actually what's happening, it's not that a lower speed will give you _more_ low end, it's simply that a lower speed will roll off the high-end.

    • @davelordy
      @davelordy 2 роки тому

      ​@aniss _"I didn't say lower speed gives MORE low-end"_
      You said faster IPS has less low end, this is not the case, the low end is pretty much the same for both speeds.

    you explained this unbelievably well in a sense that you made it simple for any level of skill to understand. Ive been producing for 5 years now and would consider myself only an intermediate level in knowledge but I always learn tremendous amounts from people like you who tell it straight forward without any crazy musical terms or things i need to google halfway through the video. Keep on simplifying your explanations into pictures like you did in this video. Definitely the best way to learn.

    BTW, tape speed affects the frequency range: faster = brighter. If you really want to hear other aspects/effects that are mostly heard when high frequencies are present, the speed should be at maximum.

The Mod Amt modulate the pitch of the delayed signal only, not the distance of the heads at all, so no change in delay time as a result when you change the Mod Amt value. The LED visualization is misleading. If you have Satin, fire one up and see it for yourself.

      @@SheldonTam pff because satin uses distance for the time parameter
      Lemme ask you where in the plugin do u see the delay time parameter? Delay time in the sense the gap between each repeat that is normally in ms or time divisions.. If u ever used satin , in satin the "distance" parameter = time parameter u see the dots in the distance slider? Those are the time divisions and if u know music well modulation in any delay plugin is the slight modulation of the "delay time" that causes pitch fluctations
      Hence its not pitch modulation just go read the manual its the "delay time or distance" modulation and as its a tape delay u hear pitch fluctations

      distance-
      These sliders set the distance (in inches) between each repro head and its corresponding record head. More distance means longer delay. The delay times depend on the current tape speed (the faster the tape speed, the shorter the delays) except in Tempo Sync mode...
      When Tempo Sync (see previous page) is active, clicking anywhere on the track of the slider then dragging left or right will snap to 16th-note values. Note that the centre position corresponds to 4/16 i.e. a quarter note. When the slider is clicked and dragged in the normal manner, you can set arbitrary values and/or fine tune them by holding down SHIFT beforehand.
      mod rate / mod amount-
      The distance i.e. length of each delay can be independently modulated by a sine wave LFO. Use this feature whenever you need extra movement or more ‘organic’ textures. Careful editing of the modulation parameters here can even result in stunning, reverb-like dispersion effects.
