Cassette Simulation vs Real Tape - SP-404 MK2 vs. Tascam PS 414
The Cassette simulation is a particularly unique and useful effect of the SP-404 MK2. However, the extensive setting options make it difficult to set a realistic sound.
In this video the sound of the simulation is compared to a 4-track recorder.
What influence does the effect have, how does a classic recording differ from a purely digital recording, and how to match the FX settings to the original cassette.
