Reaktor 6 Effects : VHS Audio Degradation Suite [FREE] screenshot
P2P | User Library: James Peck | 88.3MB
Free User Library. VHS Tape Noise and Flutter Simulator.
Summary: An audio multi-effect combining saturation, pitch modulation and noise, to emulate the imperfections of VHS tape.

USER DEMO:



DSP Overview
Input > Chorus > Mic Emulation > Preamp > Slew Limiter > Compressor > 2-Band Saturator > LPF > Wow/Flutter > Noise > Wow/Flutter > Output

Chorus
Controls: On/Off, Chorus, Speed, Delay, Width
Adds some additional pitch variation the input signal. Can also function as stereo widener.

Mic Emulation
Controls: On/Off, Mic Select Menu, Gain
Simulates the signal being re-recorded on a microphone. From “The Mic”. Adds about 15% CPU usage.

Preamp
Controls: Tone, Drive
Tone and Drive controls from the “Tape Mate” ensemble. This emulates the input circuit of a VCR (somewhat)

Slew Limiter
Controls: Wear
An idea from Tape Mate. Knob is labeled as “Wear” to simulate the age or generation of the tape

Compressor
Controls: Comp
Provided to beef up input signal more and limit dynamic range

2-Band Saturator
Controls: On/Off, Lows, LoSat, Split, Highs, HiSat
When a generation is added to a tape, the highs get lowered and saturated (around 15khz down to 7khz). A crossover control (Split) lets you split the signal into low and high band, and saturate each separately.

LPF
Controls: HiCut
To control the high cut of the signal. 4-Pole Lowpass filter.

Wow/Flutter
Controls: Warp, RPM, Shape, Flutter, Hz
Emulate the tracking and speed imperfections. From “Simpler Vintape”

Noise
Controls: Hum1, Hum2, Hum3, Hiss, Crackle, Noise
Actual samples recorded from VHS tapes, and a regular white noise generator. Able to be inserted post or pre effects.

Wow/Flutter
Controls: Flutter2, fRate, Wow, wRate, LoCut, HiCut
A slightly different wow/flutter (from Tape Mate)- if a tape were re-recorded it would have additional pitch variation like this. Additional low and high cut controls.

Output
Controls: Mono On/Off
Option to sum to mono

Notes:
-No master Dry/Wet control, as that would induce phase nightmares
-Use chorus sparingly.. on transient heavy material it will cause flamming and phasing
-Be careful with noise levels when inserted pre fx and compressor is used. When no signal present, the noise will be very loud
-CPU Usage: approx. 5% no Mic Emulation
-CPU Usage: approx. 20% with Mic Emulation
-Created with Reaktor 6.0.4

Acknowledgments:
-Jonathan Tremblay for “The Mic”; used for the Mic Emulation Section and Audio Demo 3
-Stephen Reid for “Tape Mate”; used for Drive, Flutter2 and Wow
-Stefan Knauthe for “Simpler Vintape”; used for Warp and Flutter

Dang, this just might be that alternative to Echomelt that I've been looking for.

Yeah, it's awesome! Better than any paid degradation effect I've used. Echomelt still has it's quirks though.

I didn't know this is one of the best effects until Satai@audiosex (mastering engineer) said he really likes it. That's why i decide to post it here. Thanks to Satai for confirming. +1

Werd!? Didn't know that Echomelt is having probs, understandable tho (early version). I think the only thing this one misses is that "snag" feature, where the tape gets caught periodically.

Nah, I meant quirks in a good way! It's pitch drift is awesome. Just waiting for it to get released here.

So this one will be my "goto" for the overall vhs feel.
Echomelt, when it gets available will be for those other nuances.

I'm so anxious!

I'm glad you all enjoy it.
It was my friend's project, I also let him use the microphone emulation that is included.
