Just to clarify...
if you place most of these emulations on a mix and then swap them for another, there is to my ears, a dramatic difference in the way that mix presents. VTM and Kramer, for instance, will restrict dynamic range and pull certain frequencies forward, adding saturation, way more so than the UA or Steinberg plugs. The differences are often exaggeratied when driving the emulations harder. Most of them don’t really sound like overdriven tape to me.
