How long have I been out?
I have lately been trying out Acustica Audio's Taupe, Jam and Pumpkin Pro (the non-pro version is free). Pumpkin is supposed to include improved anti-aliasing techniques in addition to oversampling.
Jam and Pumpkin only have a few tape options, Taupe has many.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to recommend any of these. The IK Multimedia ones are great for mastering; and Universal Audio's Studer really impressed me when I demoed it. Plus I have question marks about the integration of the saturated signal with the clean one. But the range of options and sound shaping have enabled me to create some results that I find very pleasing.
Black Rooster Audio's Magnetite and NeOld's Warble are both excellent, the former for subtle mixing and the latter for characterful saturation and warbling. If I had nothing else but Magnetite, I wouldn't feel like I was seriously lacking for basic mixing needs.
