Although this
can be an effect in its own right - last week we
were trying out LADSPA Tape Delay, trying to get the sound of a
Watkins Copicat (explanatory picture follows for the
post-analogue generation):
Did you manage to faithfully reproduce that warm muffled warble of
worn tape?
Not really - digital is a bit too clean. You could fake it with a
second plugin after the tape delay though - maybe a valve effect, an
oscillator, some EQ...
I haven't found the good documentation for LADSPA
yet
http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html
I find some of the names of the plugins a bit obscure,
not being a
techie or sound engineer as such, I mean "Barry's Satan Maximizer"
sounds great, but what does it DO?
Try it - you'll see it's a very good name for that plugin...
Cheers
Daniel
