PastToFutureReverbs MCI JH-16 2 Inch Multi-track Tape Recorder IRs! Impulse Responses (IRs) WAV AiFF

it is possible to use impulse responses to build functions to model and inform time variant functions, but 4.22mb of tape tone impulses cannot capture the nonlinearity of tape- saturation, crunch, high and low end rooloff when driven, because those are program dependent / time variant. using these solely for convolution is just a roundabout way of doing eq.

the tools you mention use multiple irs to build functions that eventually become compressors and tape emulators, and can use ir for tone, but you don't get compression or dynamics or modulation from impulse responses and convolution alone.

this is why the acustica coffee pun pultec emulation is close to 8 gigabytes in size without the copy protection.

please go aead and use the irs as you want, just don't expect it to behave like tape. i also dont think anyone should buy these ir either because past to future know dumb people buy them thinking an ir can be a tape emulatior.
