If you rarely dial these in I wouldn't sweat it.Ĭlick to expand.Cool. The main difference is the lack of tape types. It's not a one to one match but you can get pretty close. The high boost/cut does what it says on the tin. The crosstalk will actually emphasize the lows & highs. Softube's tape by default is pretty subtle, however the trick is to play with the crosstalk and high boost/cut. If you're curious I may upload a shootout if I have a moment later tonight. Overall I've gotten great results with: IK A80 (Studer), ST Tape (think there's supposed to be a Studer in there), Slate VTM (Studer, not sure of the model), Ozone 9 Tape (Hybrid of a Studer and an ATR-102, at least from what I've been told from a buddy who used to develop there.)

The dynamics knob and tone sliders can get you pretty close results. I've also gotten pretty close with Saturn 2. (Akin to some of Acustica's heavier plugins). Again not one to one, pretty close, only downside is that they're ruthless CPU eaters. If you rarely dial these in I wouldn't sweat it.Īs Doc says IK makes some decent tape plugins as well.
