Plugin Alliance SPL Machine Head v1.0.0-BUBBiX screenshot
BUBBiX | 22 January 2025 | 42 MB
SPL’s Machine Head is the finest digital tape saturator ever built. With the tone of tape becoming so popular in pro production circles, this discontinued hardware is in demand. Many plugin developers have tried and failed to capture the magic of its code, until now.

So fast, thanks BUBBIX & hidera!
As of now I'm good with tape emulations, when it releases for macOS I still might give it a spin though.

this thing is not really a tape emulation in the literal sense. Its a recreation of a classic "secret weapon" rack unit. While the unit itself is a "tape emulation", its sort of its own thing in a way. def has a sound.

Make Beleve's was tweaked with Serban Ghenea's direct feedback and requirements. So for people wanting to use the tool that Serban Ghenea uses in his chain, MB is the way to go. For people that want an (hopefully) identical copy of the hardware, the SPL one would be the choice

I'm sure we can eventually get to Serban's settings on this one too by analysing both plugins and matching everything.

I think it's included. If there is a "Das Eine" preset in the list, that's Serban's.

From what I'm seeing they matched the settings, but if the plugin sounds different, which I'm hearing it does, the same settings would give different results. I was thinking about analysing the Mixhead with something like the Plugin Doctor and go from there. I never bought the MixHead as I don't support Metric Halo, but I bought the SPL one through PA and I'm liking it.

Being a real fan of the MBS version I can't wait to try this one

Edit: Hot experimentation, 2 plugins in one, an "original" version and a version with a BUMP style lowend compensator too bad in neither version of PA we can't put the tap in 3.75IPS like on MBS, too bad no Blend option available either to mix the two versions live on the vst, a little extra on the original PA version which seems to sound slightly more musical with better clarity and balance of the drive, the "ultimate" version as it is called does not me not really convincing I need to test more overall it's a good vst just a few small details of versatility would have made it ideal, the best of both worlds the chance to be able to test several emulations and enjoy them thank you Bubbix and all the teams

ahh nice, very curious about this one, since it's been developed with the same people who did the original machine head.
so this should be as true to original as possible.

quote by potroubwell bold statement but make believe studios version is really good

Is pretty bad. SPL got the OG digital code so you can't do better than them.
We are a lot in my head, but it's me the boss.
