[RWP] Anybody know of a good free vst tape simulator?

[Chris Belle]

One has to count the cost of doing business with hiring help when needed.

And also choosing products that aren't necesssarily
the popular go to ones like kontak, and native and such, there are 
alternatives which are sometimes better or just as good.

If you have sonar, there is a nice tape simm in there, reaper is nice 
but the things you give up for cheap
is having a nice compliment of good plugs for audio production but we 
all know that.

Another free option I like are the modern plugs from antress
the analogger
is pretty good.

Voxengo has one to I think.

It might be a tube warmer, can't remember right now, but there are lots 
of these things around,
both paid and free.

A nice suite of plugs which doesn't cost the earth but I think are high 
quality are the tonebooster plug-ins.

I've been happily finding alternatives and giving the hard time plugs 
everyone thinks they have to have to have game the cold shoulder and 
doing just fine with myclients.

Don't sweat it, there will always be stuff out here for us, we just have 
to do a little hunting sometimes.
