Yea, tape phasing (running two copies slightly off) and tape flange (manually slowing one down a bit and then letting it catch up) sound much better than most of the digital equivalents that are out there today. That being said, analog stomp boxes can still do wonders with these effects... My old roommate had a Mutron BiPhaser (the key to the Smashing Pumpkins phase) and it sounded absolutely amazing... Way better than any VST plugin could ever sound... Very lush and warm. -- :: atomly :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.atomly.com | http://www.mp3.com/atomly
