Tape Saturation VST - Slate Digital VTM vs. Waves J37 vs. TB ReelBus

Tape Saturation VST - Slate Digital VTM vs. Waves J37 vs. TB ReelBus. Plenty of fine Tape Saturation VST plugins out there these days. Which one to choose? It depends on what you are looking for. Here is my take on it. - Subtle Saturation on Live Drums 00:05 Dry - 00:28 Slate VTM 00:51 Dry - 01:13 Waves J37 01:36 Dry - 01:58 Toneboosters Reelbus - Subtle Saturation on Rhodes 02:25 Dry - 02:41 Slate VTM 02:58 Dry - 03:16 Waves J37 03:32 Dry - 03:48 Toneboosters Reelbus - Subtle Saturation on Beat 04:11 Dry - 04:28 Slate VTM 04:45 Dry - 05:02 Waves J37 05:19 Dry - 05:35 Toneboosters Reelbus - Overdrive Saturation on Live Drums 05:57 Dry - 06:20 Slate VTM 07:04 Dry - 07:27 Waves J37 08:12 Dry - 08:34 Toneboosters Reelbus - Overdrive Saturation on Rhodes 09:24 Dry - 09:42 Slate VTM 10:14 Dry - 10:30 Waves J37 11:04 Dry - 11:19 Toneboosters Reelbus Overdrive Saturation on Beat 12:04 Dry - 12:21 Slate VTM 12:55 Dry - 13:12 Waves J37 13:45 Dry - 14:02 Toneboosters Reelbus 1. Slate Digital Virtual Tape Machines (VTM) http://www.slatedigital.com/products/vtm The best emulation out there imo. Subtle saturation adds some nice creamy quality to the sound. Love it. 2. ToneBoosters TB ReelBus Most versatile of the three. Gives you lots of configuration options. Great price too. http://www.toneboosters.com/tb-reelbus/ 3. Waves J37 http://www.waves.com/plugins/j37-tape This is more like a tape distortion machine. Over-exaggerated and hard to control emulation. Too much effect for my taste. Looks very nice though.
