A 2” 24-track running at 30ips has a larger bump with a narrower Q, and steeper LF roll-off than a ½” two track at 15ips.
The LF response is also a function of tape speed and track width. Push it harder and a perceptible shelving of the HF makes it sound nice and warm, further reducing the peak to average ratio.įinally, when the low frequency saturates, the “head bump” (a peak in the LF response inherent to all analog machines) spawns the beloved phat bottom. When tape starts to saturate the boosted HF hits the ceiling first, limiting HF transients and reducing the peak to average ratio. The playback electronics are calibrated to roll it back off thereby reducing tape hiss. Analog tape equalization (AES, IEC or NAB) curves boost high frequencies when recording. I think you are confusing "anomaly" with "feature".
#CRANE SONG PHOENIX DEMO PRO#
"PHOENIX is a TDM Plug-In for Pro Tools that is designed to put analog color into the digital domain by increasing apparent loudness without increasing gain (e.g., by modeling analog tape compression)."Īudio Dictionary: "Compression: The reduction of a span of amplitudes done for the purpose of limiting the reproduction of those amplitudes." The first line of the CraneSong Phoenix web page reads: QUOTE :"Phoenix has a strange anomaly, which I've mentioned elsewhere: It seems to boosts the overall rms level by about 2-3 db." well, it WAS for about a week, but then Bobby Nathan released his API eq! It is UN-FUNKING-BELIEVABLE. AC-2 is pretty useful as well.ģ: QUOTE: "best plugin of the last 2 years.". the two plugins do veer off in slightly different directions as you use various settings, with DadTape being drier, edgier, and more agressive, while Phoenix is a little fatter and creamier. I'm only pointing this out to defend my beloved DadTape. You can then get them to sound virtually IDENTICAL, at a few given settings. run an A-B test of Phoenix against DadTape, with the Phoenix track lowered by 2 db so they both have aprox the same level. I hope cranesong is able to "fix' this soon. This gives the impression that it's making the audio sound even better than it actually is (though it still is doing something great.) Before you say, "well, that's due to the added harmonics." realize that neither DadTape nor McDsp's AC-2 do this, so it's NOT inherent in the process. Phoenix has a strange anomaly, which I've mentioned elsewhere: It seems to boosts the overall rms level by about 2-3 db.
#CRANE SONG PHOENIX DEMO SIMULATOR#
While a tape simulator has a little HF compression, which is a major part of the magic, the L2 is a whole 'nother beast entirely.Ģ: Phoenix is very, very similar to the excellent (IMO) DadTape.
I don't see how this will compete with the L2, if that's your point. Thanks everyone for being a loyal visitor in these 24 years.Well, I love it as well, and recommend it, but three caveats:ġ: QUOTE: "I think all of you L2 lovers will also be shocked at what this baby can do." CheatingDome will continue to bring you the latest tips and info about all the games ever released on every system. Many sites that were competitors of CheatingDome in the past have abandoned their sites or switched it off. However, we do keep publishing tips and secrets for those games as well.
