hishelf + loshelf + (very mild) distortion + very slight pitch modulation + white noise / boost somewhere between 6-12k?
alternatively you could just record your mixes to an old tape

Honestly, the easiest and most "high quality" solution for this is to bounce the mix to tape and then record it back in. I'm sure you could build a system for this for 50 bucks or less.
While i'm sure its theoretically possible to make a perfect tape emulation plugin, the problem is it would take someone with deep DSP audio knowledge and expertise in stochastic modelling. Stochastic modellers can command too high a premium doing more interesting projects than audio so that will most likely never happen. |

altho im sure a good tape emulation plug has been released...
what exactly is Stochastic??
it sounds interesting....
sorry for thread hijack

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_processes
Its basically the opposite of a deterministic process like what a digital plugin would do to a signal. Same result everytime for the same input signal. To me this is the fundamental reason we don't have good analog emulation(or more precisely better discrete models of continous signal processing). There is a degree of randomness/probability involved but its far more subtle than adding a randomn lfo/signal to any one digital parameter.
Its overkill though for what we are talking about. A cheap amp/deck can do real tape "emulation", it will just take 2X the length of the audio(record to tape, playback, record in) |
