There are many here who use tape on a regular basis so maybe you can
answer
a question for me, as I never have. Are there any tape saturation
emulators
(plugins) anyone can think of that come somewhat close to emulating the
real
thing? How does the best tape sat emulation compare, in your opinion?
Obviously one is simulated, but what are the primary differences between a
good simulation and real tape sat?

I find it unendingly hilarious that people who haven't used tape work so
hard to emulate the very problems and defects we tried so hard to avoid when
using tape for recording, back in the day when that was all that was
available. Do you really think that the reason we got nice results
(sometimes) was *because* of the defects, rather than in spite of them?

Peace,
