PRE-RELEASE 0.9.500 - TAPE-24 + Mackie Fix

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oxhWPJ3uhblczv6parYDT1M-gscoPojF

TAPE-24 has arrived! It will be updated alongside TAPE-16 each week! It's not a replacement of T16, it's just a different 'machine', with a whole different feeling about it. There are so many interesting limitations that a lot of folk love about T16, I felt if we kept adding features it would turn into something it is not. It will always receive future native plugins, bug fixes, UI improvements, DAW controller fixes and so on.

The types of new features it will receive will be a different pathway. After seeing the post about a TAPE-8, I thought something like that could be built into T16, along with deepening the limitations further with something like generation loss from over listening, making it a truly heart racing experience (completely optional of course). Always happy to implement features that make the experience more immersive. Once they're turned on they should be quite hard to turn off. Keeping with the commit ethos alive and true.

On the other hand TAPE-24 will head in the other direction of being a little more feature rich, already it's a much busier workstation with channel strips and automation. In the future I see it having something like an optional HDD Recorder Mode. With that mode having more forgiving options like a 3 step UNDO/REDO for those who don't enjoy the horrors of recording without it at all.

However it's really up to the crowd though at this point so be vocal about what you want to see in either one.

In other news Mackie Controllers are working this time (seriously!) It's been an absolute struggle over the last few months but after a lot of back and forth emails between a few legends we managed to get everything up and running. This will truly set a lot of people free from the mouse and keys which I'm very happy about! I'm going to include a hotkey editor in the near future so you can change the buttons to whatever you want.

Linux release will be later this week too.

All the best!

Output to OBS

Hi everyone,

I absolutely love Tape 16, I'm wanting to make a video about recording a song with it, but I'm being incredibly thick. How are people routing the output of Tape 16 to their screen record software? I feel like I'm missing something incredibly obvious.

Thanks!!

tape 16 24 12 and 8

Ive been with tape 16 since the spring and yesterday added tape 24. I removed logic from my computer and haven't looked back, thank you! one thing i love about tape 24 is that you can set it up for seeing 8 or 12 tracks at a time. one curious thing i discovered is that the varispeed is controllable numerically in percentages instead of Hz. I wish it were Hz since I like to punch in 415.30 Hz or 392.00 Hz to change the key of playback. I guess it's doable with percentages. One idea might be to provide "notches" available on the varispeed so that with a click one could move the key up or down one or two steps/keys... I really love having on board EQ. But the dials are so tiny it's frustrating with a mouse. Therefore i am setting up my AKAI MidiMix to control as much as possible. But the midi learn function does not seem to work on the EQ dials. So I guess this is a request to make that possible. Finally, Im posting tape 24 questions here since 16 and 24 seem like siblings. Will you be setting up a separate sub reddit for tape 24 that I should post this to? Thank you again for this ingenious software and your unbeatable responsiveness to bugs and questions!!! cheers -P

Anyone using a Softube Console 1 controller? Need your help!

It's the next target on the DAW controller list, and hoping to get it sorted for next week. If I can get any info on how it reacts to the latest updated profile of either T16 or T24 (v0.9.501) that would be awesome! Just add it to this thread, and i'll post test builds in here too till we get it perfect.

Preferred sample rates and settings?

I've been troubleshooting an issue that I'm trying to pin down between Tape 16 and my audio interface.

I recorded a few channels of drums in, and playback of the 2ch mix through one of my interfaces has pops and clicks that sound like sample rate glitches, but through a different interface it seems fine.

But other tapes sound fine, Ableton projects sound fine, other apps sound fine.

So... I dragged the wavs from problem tape into Ableton and I'm hearing the same glitching on the same interface! fine on the other interface. super weird.

I've never really experienced something like this before. I'm wondering if somehow this tape became corrupted in a way that those wavs just don't agree with my main interface?

Next up is trying a fresh tape and getting scientific with my settings from the outset. But I'm curious if anyones ever ran into something so strange as this before?
