Hi Tomislav. Yes, that is correct. I find it a useful and good sounding tape saturator so I wanted to spread the word. It sounds great! :)

The problem goes away when I try exporting a couple of times, but this is a recurring issue. Anybody else run into this problem?

Hi Atme, thanks for letting me know! So, this is an older plugin but it’s now also 64-bit? At least that’s what I could gather from the product page. Is that correct?

Yes, I don’t mind a simple serial or a key file, the problem I have is with online activation (Challenge/Response), which means that if tomorrow the company will close down my plugin will become useless. That’s why I try to buy from developers like TAL, Valhalla, Audio Damage, Toneboosters and the likes (unless it’s something I really want to have and has no alternative, like the wonderful Unfiltered Audio plugins).

From the description on the website it appears that the computer you want to activate the plugin on needs to have an active internet connection during the activation. I prefer the method you describe Tomislav, where you can paste the activation code and activate on an offline machine.

Typically the zero db value should correspond to -18 dbfs, but it seems to be calibrated to -14 dbfs. Other than those two flaws, the plugin is pretty perfect as a quick and raw tape lo-fi effect.

What can I say, BMOVIE, except +1. Older v1.5 is still available on their website, also. No strings attached. And to add some wow you can always use Flutterbird. ;-)

I know online activation sucks most of the time, but the way Caelum Audio implemented it, it’s not bad at all. What’s most important for me is that you don’t need to log in when activating the plugin in your DAW. Just paste the code from your user account and it’s good to go.

Anyway, I prefer Ferox (payware) and CHOW Tape (completely free and wonderful) for tape saturation effects.
