- Hey, let me get this right. You want an effect that makes your nice,
- clean recording sound as though it's been through an analog tape? Add
- some hiss, inject a little wow and flutter and knock a bit off the
- bandwidth? And you're willing to pay money for this, right? And,
- crazily enough, this machine is called a "Tape Eliminator"? I
- understand about "analog warmth" but is this the ultimate? Gee, I
- can't wait for the tape transport clunk simulator and the scratchy
- monophonic vinyl simulator. :^)
