i'm probably stating the obvious, but there are a few tape saturation emulators available in software. Steinberg's Magneto is the best i've tried, and it's a lot cheaper than finding an Otari and $50 in tape. you really can get a nice sound with it. of course, it's all limited to whatever resolution you're working with in the digital domain, but i can't see how that's much of a gripe considering that almost nobody has the means to deliver a recording that's been in the analog domain since conception. anyone think that using bit-dithering effects and insisting on analog recording is funny? i do. but i am merely an unfrozen caveman bedroom producer. . . -jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
