Mike, there are a few tape emulators out there, some which are free. Try
Dblue's stuff, they have a tapeStop plug and some other stuff. There was
also 1 that waas a similar 1 to Cubase's tape emulator, which did a few of
those things. You could even simulate multiple tracks, and slowing 1 down
while the other remained intact, speed warp and everything. I can't remember
the name, think it was magnito or something like that; if I come across it
in my plugs collection I'll shoot it to you.
I'm sure if you google tape emulator vst, you'll come across some good free
stuff; whether it's accessible/usable or not, well, that's another story. :)
HTH, D!J!X!

Brandon,
I think a lot of it depends on what you're looking for in terms of editing
features. For instance, you can use Gold Wave to apply effects to audio that
simulate warping or speeding up and slowing down audio. Sonar can't do that
- or at least it can't without a plug-in that'll give you those features. I
have a plug that'll simulate tape stops, but I don't know how to apply it so
it'll do it in real time or during a rendering process. You can automate
some things, but I don't think it'll give me the results I want. I also want
to be able to simulate fast forwarding and rewinding like what you used to
be able to do with tape. You can do it somewhat in Gold Wave, but it's
really not what I want to do. Another thing I want to do is to be able to
simulate the idea of the tape being slowed down or sped up while you're
recording; it's kind of like messing around with the old recorders when you
wanted to manipulate voices and other sounds to come up with crazy
cartoonish stuff.
Now there may in fact be VST plugs out there that'll do it, but I haven't
run across any yet - free or otherwise. I use Sonar to do all of the
recording and whatnot; but once in a while I have to export a track and run
it through another editor to try and get what I want. I have Gold Wave on
the system right now, and I don't have plans to do anything else unless I
run into something with another editor that'll do some or all of what I
mention.
Mike
