    This sounds interesting, what kind of music do you produce, and in what way does Tapedesk help you achieve a sound you want? I'd like to try putting some plugin in the first slot of all my tracks as well but I don't know which one to use.

    Toneboosters ReelBus 4.
    I use it on my group busses. I like how it separates the effects of tape, so you can get saturation without compression or vice versa etc.. which makes it useful for all genres.

    1. this code is slightly modified depending on the game, version, console and purpose.
    2. gradius had UUDDLRLRBA. Select and start have nothing to do with the code :winker:

    I wish I could be as carefree as you are because Paul Third and Wytse keep teeling me that aliasing is bad for my mental heatlh.

    I can't remember if I ever played Gradius (most likely, though), but the Contra code, which also worked in some other Konami games, is forever ingrained in my brain:
    UUDDLRLRBA (same as what you have). As far as the next buttons, select and start, I always did the code then start only, but someone else told me they did select then start.. I don't know if that's some 2 player thing, or what.

    EQ, compression and knowledge are my 3 secret weapons actually. There is not a single plugin that does magic, all you see out there is stupid marketing for you to buy their stuff, because a compressor sounds more "analog" if they put a 3D picture of a compressor as a HUD, right?

    Love what you said but the HUD is just a UI... You want to tweak stick figures?

    I often use the NI Solid Bus Compressor and Solid Dynamics for many tracks I would normally just use standard Logic plugins for. I only list as "secret" because so many people have them installed, and never use them. many probably don't even know they have them already. :)

    I dont have one "Secret" Weapon but I have a few favorites.
    FxPansionGeist2, Sononym Sample Manager, Schwa OLGA.

    If you want something I use that is rarely talked about these days, it would be Araucann by Iraisynn Attinom (Resample heaven.. or hell if youre into that sort of thing.)
