I haven’t been able to get happy with ModMachine for that, it sounds quite metallic and phasy on voice, so much so that I went looking for alternatives. This is with all the ancillary processing (Drive, width, etc.) turned to zero. Using the HPF helps, but just a bit for me. Used as a send effect.
It’s a shame because all those other controls look like they could be very nice.
I poked around the presets on Magneto 2, but didn’t see a preset for that … Anyone know if that tape machine does tape delay, or is it only for saturation?
Currently I’m using a doubling plug-in with just a touch of timing modulation, then eqng the output. Sounds clean and great, but it’s far from the 1-step solution I was hoping to get from ModMachine.
Well the silver lining for me is I learned that a non-tempo synced delay can sound just fine!
64-bit too! Thanks for the link. I gotta few more things to troubleshoot with ModMachine first, I have a feeling it might not be playing well with the EMT 140 I set up immediately afterwards.
If I can’t get rid of the metallic sound, maybe I’ll head there!
Or if you want it hardware, I recently bought a Behringer VM1 which is a ‘modern’ vintage Echoboy clone that actually sounds great. On gearslutz most people preferred the VM1 in a blind comparison to a real Echoboy
And it’s very cheap!
edit: sorry, VM1 is a memory man clone, not echoboy. Doesn’t matter, it can do slapback
I did try to look for the Kjaerhus site to read about it and maybe download, but http://www.kvraudio.com/developer/kjaerhus-audio says … “no products currently available”. Though there are a bunch of 3rd party sites that allow download of Kjaerhus plug-ins, I’m hesitant to allow downloads from those sites I don’t know much about (concerned about “extra goodies” getting downloaded too).
I’m sure he gave up and disappeared! i’m sure i read this on either gearsluts or the UA forums…
I’m pretty sure they were only available in 32Bit form too although they did bridge quite well as far as i remember…
