Tape Echo bug

Postby Anatolyj » Sat Apr 27, 2019 9:34 pm

Hi, bought recently Tape Echo and found bug it seems. It's related with backround noise level.
Simple reproduce: load plugin - we no hear noise. Load first factory preset "GTR Echo" - as well no noise. Then load last factory preset "Whacked..etc" - we hear noise. Then load again first preset - now noise here. Open tweak panel - we see that noise handle stay at zero. Touch it by mouse - noise will abruptly stopped, accordingly to value level.

Plugin version 5.1.1 (vst win10 64bit)

Hello Anatolyj

I've just tried to reproduce your issue in my setup (specs in sig) but Tape Echo is working as expected i.e. no parameter hangover when swapping presets.

As this is a user-to-user forum and not direct to IKM support, in case no one else chimes in here with advice or a solution, you should raise a ticket with IK official support here https://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/mi/

Perhaps it is just a Windows issue - either way, it's best to contact IK Support for some one-to-one help.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "Tweak panel", but I can reproduce the issue here (Windows 7 SP1).

Just had another playabout with this on headphones (with a quieter piece of audio running through the delay) and I now hear what you mean.

To get it to reset on a preset with '0' noise I have to raise the noise to '0.1' and back to '0'

I'll put a ticket into support - the more the merrier. ;)

No, I agree it's not good. What I meant was, I have to physically turn the control to 'zero' the effect. I was just trying to note a possible difference as you said that you can -

I generally don't see/hear these kind of issues as I don't often use presets.
