Copy protection
The HoRNet Cassette644 has no copy protection, we don’t believe in copy protection, they are always cracked and they are annoying for the users, we all know you are not going to give away the plugin on the internet…
So simply download the plugin and enjoy your recordings!
It sounds fantastic!
Use it mainly on busses and the master.
Really nice saturation.
Absolute bargain!
Much more useful and interesting than I imagined.
Brilliantly quick to work with. Does exactly what it says on the tin with a great interface.
I tested the way this plugin evens out transients on vocal tracks by driving the input. Very pleased to say that this does just that beautifully. Went and bought it immediately.
You out did yourself on this one! Your able to slam this thing hard and get that pleasing distortion, saturation just like real tape. I watched your youtube short series on the making of the plugin…That sold it for me… other companies need to take notes!
This is a serious sound-shaping tool! On drums (where I have used it so far) it is phenomenal. switch to Chrome tape, carve out those muddy mids, crank the input into saturation and your drums will come to live! There is another tape mixer plugin from a well-known German developer (another model, same hardware brand) but it is very polite sounding. HoRNet's tape mixer is a true colour box! I love it!
On first use, I think a very cool device for the right situation, which can be pretty flexible if you take care.
