Signal Noise SN03-G Tape Recorder

Signal Noise SN03-G Tape Recorder free tape-emulator by Sender Spike

Signal Noise SN03-G Tape Recorder is a free tape emulator VST plugin developed by Sender Spike. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

SN03/SN03-G is a tape sound emulation plug-in not based on tape speed or tape type (nor particular brand of tape machine). It takes the key components of analog tape recorders and gives the user tools to create a properly calibrated “custom tape machine” that operates in the range of 7.5 to 30 IPS, while conforming to NAB, IEC, and AES equalization standards. The plug-in is designed with ASIO/CPU footprint that allows use of many instances for cumulative effect.

Features:

  • input gain +/- 24dB.
  • output gain +/- 24dB.
  • NAB, IEC (15 IPS), AES (30 IPS) EQ modes.
  • adjustable recording EQ (LF +/- 10dB, HF +/- 14dB).
  • adjustable reproduction EQ (LF +/- 10dB, HF +/- 14dB).
  • adjustable “head bump” frequency from 65Hz to 105Hz.
  • adjustable “head bump” gain from 1dB to 8dB.
  • “head bump” bypass.
  • tape hiss gain +/-30dB from ca. -76dBFS (RMS).
  • tape hiss on/off switch.
  • complete I/O VU metering.
  • “Anarchy” button — to defy some norms;).

  • …and tape saturation, of course.
