Satin
Tips and tricks
Tape saturation, delay, and flange emulator.
Vintage mode loses high frequencies earlier.1
Pre-emphasis acts as a pre-record high-shelf boost, as defined by gap width and tape speed.1
You can use it for the Dolby A mod trick.2
Matt Boudreau says it works well with the workflow of boosting to its limits and then dialing it back.3
Anti-aliasing and post-ring is not as good as Wow Control, but it’s easier to load up and render across an entire project, since oversampling is already engaged. Group functions are helpful too.
Benefits from Reaper’s x2 oversampling.
More hifi than Wow Control on the 2buss.
One commenter says to use the Outside the club preset before a room or hall reverb.3
Lower inches per second settings result in less high end detail. Warren Huart says the low bump of 15ips can sound great for drums.3

Some very slight post-ring ! [[ satin impulse modern.png ]]

Hammerstein test
Input gain at 6dB It has a bump in the harmonics regardless of where the bump knob is set. Use this instead of Wow Control or Saturn 2 when I want some saturation in the bass frequencies.
