Console emulation with tape emulation?
Hello Cakewalkonians,
I've done a search but could not find an answer to this question.
I've started to use the Sonar Pro Channel console emulation. Is anyone using also using tape emulation at the same time?
If so, on all tracks or just the master bus?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ray

I use the console emulation (essentially) on all tracks though not necessarily the same console for each track.
I use the tape emulator for more specific uses... Such as for guitar/bass where I sometimes like the flavor...

I will echo Keni console emulation on all tracks. I reserve the tape emulator for my buses - although there are not hard and fast rules...

I use the tape emulator more like the tube module, to add some grit

I use the console emulator on all tracks and busses with both knobs set to 2.0. I use the tape emulator on the drum buss.

Thank you for your responses.
It may be just a matter of how much "warmth" one wants in a particular recording/ genre?

I use both the console emulator and the tape emulator on all tracks most of the time. I do, however, adjust all the emulators specifically for each track.

The emulations are designed to work of the sum of the the mix rather than on a single channel or bus.
Select an emulation and set every channel to that as if you were mixing on that analog desk.

I'll pile on... I tend to use the Console Emulator on all tracks and buses, but the Tape Sim only on tracks that aren't intended to be clean/pristine. The way I look at it, I get to pick and choose which tracks/instruments get that tape saturation effect and which do not, based on context and contrast.

This is something I have read about also but don't understand how it works. From my understanding it's almost like a cumulative effect is that right? To say that the effect becomes more pronounced with each track you put it on? If this is the case is the "cross talk" from a console also in this as well and if so how does that even work? And what the hell is cross talk any way? So let's say that in my dream world I could record drums and bass on a neve console, guitars and vocals on a trident a range then mix it all on a SSL how would I set it up? In this scenario I would also put tape emulation on each channel to simulate recording to tape right?
