Do a Logic dark theme instead. You’ve got a customer! :)
I would love to do this, but Logic Colorizer is $100 for theme vendors. It's a very big investment for me, so unfortunately I can't do it at the moment.
The way forward...

I mean as competition to the colorizer.
Check out my OSC (One Synth Challenge) entries and more Logic Pro sequences on SoundCloud and YouTube.

Oh, sorry I didn't get that.

Well, at it's core Colorizer works by modifying .plist files and then also working in the background to make sure when you update Logic it replaces original theme .plist files with modified ones (at least as far as I know).

I don't really have any coding experience (except with Waves GUI framework), so I could try to do it, but I'm not sure how long that would take.

You've done this before with your other skins, and you're actually good at it. Shoot for the stars bro town! 8)

That code doesn't work, but this code from the latest Baby Audio mailer DNSBA15 does work for 15% off :party:

Do we get access to Softube Fet Comp mk1 if we buy the new one?

I don't see it in the Softube Essentials Collection, so probably not.

Dirty Tape
Are there also crossgrades to the Softube Model? Maybe from one Model synth to another?

Who am I kidding, we're all looking for blowout prices on Behringer synths.
Hi Eric. Last time there was a soundtoys sale I saw an upgrade from little plate to super plate for $29. Are those not available anymore?

Not currently, but there was one in the recent past. Although I think Model synth crossgrades are very occasional.

The Softube Essentials Collection is a fantastic deal and well worth it even if you like/want a couple of the included plugins.

Sorry, I don’t know. We’re not able to sell Soundtoys upgrades or crossgrades.

After requesting a 3rd trial extension (somehow I thought maybe I was wrong previously two times), I think I'm going to pass.

Tape Echoes is a great plugin, I would say it's like a Space Echo, but can sound a bit more dirty/gritty. I demoed it against my EchoBoy and Replika XT and, while being nice, I preferred both EchoBoy and Replika XT over Tape Echoes. EchoBoy (in space echo mode) especially has a very fat sound, for a lack of a better word.

So, for everyone who is looking at purchasing Tape Echoes, I recommend saving up a bit more and just getting an all-in-one delay plugin. Replika XT is very cheap (especially here on KVR) and is wonderful.

EchoBoy is almost universally considered to be one of the best delay plugins ever made. Why are you looking for anything else?

Tape Echoes is very specialized. I would say it’s similar to RE-201 and an Echoplex when at different tape settings. I prefer this one over some other Echoplex modeled delays.

It is not an all-in-one as you’ve noticed, but it’s not made for that.

Definitely not trying to convince you to like it, or anyone else to like it, but I found it reached places where other plugins couldn’t without overlap of the ones you mentioned and many other. I have a ridiculous amount to compare to. :oops:

Not trying to sell anyone on it, but I do think this one has its place as a tool if you like these classic inspired sounds.
