Faux Vintage plug-in design case study


This "tube delay" plug-in has the simulacra vintage texture/knob UI down pat: there's scratches in the vinyl covering, shading and some wear on the faux wood finish, bakelite knobs, fake cables and switches. Audio plug-in designers take note! They really should start teaching this
stuff...

From the Harmony Central press release:
Softube is now shipping the Tube Delay plug-in for VST, AU and RTAS. Tube Delay is available today at the Softube web shop ($99 excl. VAT).
