Saturation

[TheFilmCreator1]

Never ever try to emulate the tape saturation effect with plug ins, to me it just sounds plain FAKE. And it's just worth it to get the real thing, I think.

Here's an mp3 of it

it was recorded and mixed on analog. transferred to digital for mp3.

I love the sound of Tape through a 50 cent camera mic. Thats like trying to demonstrate an HD quality picture on a Cell Phone.

@Rizzy55

Not really the intention here, this was just shot for fun.

[Joni0001984]

Could I achieve the same effect with a hifi cassette recorder... with two tracks I guess?

Could I run the whole mix in it?

If I record in my DAW first, then in tape, and then record to the DAW from the tape, won't that just ruin my tape effect?

[farsoh023]

No computers were used during the tracking or mixing of this. My best advise is if you want an analog sound, stick to tape.

@farsoh023 lol generic comment. the ironic thing is that a computer was used to capture this, and the effect was captured just fine, even at low quality. therefore you shouldn't 'stick to tape'. record onto tape then into your daw

[farsoh023]

@billeffbass

yes, you should record however you like. but this video was just shot for fun, not to represent the actual quality of the analog recording.
