Hello all,
The purpose of this post is to gather some opinions on the
use of 'tape distortion' plugins.
There are two other factors I know of that might be relevant.
At high tape speeds there is a drop in the replay amplitude of lower
frequencies. I believe that is due to the wavelength on the tape relative to
the width of head pole pieces. I don't know if that affects both record and
playback or just one or the other.
The background noise spectrum and amplitude changes with different tape speeds.
I think that's related to the grain size of the magnetic particles on the tape.
