loss of highs through self-erasure resulting from the HF stream ("bias",
pre-magnetization) and intermodulation between the wanted signal and the HF
signal.
Level: Sets the input level. You decide when the "virtual tape" is saturated and
how strong the effect of this color effect should be. The signal will gain more
"loudness".
EQ low/hi: Adjusts the frequency response (spectral balance controller). You
can choose whether you would like the output signal to have a richer bass
level or whether it should have more highs. This adjusts the pre-filtering at the
"recording end" as well as playback equalization.
However, please note that the frequency response of the simulation will not be
neutral even if the "EQ low/hi" controller is set to neutral. There will always be
some slight frequency-selective amplification.
The distortion resulting from use of the tape simulation can quickly create
"acoustic fatigue", especially for material that is rich in highs. A direct 1:1
comparison with the tape section switched off reveals the differences more
easily. Slight editing with the simulation is generally sufficient to achieve an
"analog touch".
