Hi,
maybe they already exists. But I could find them via search.
I'm looking for a tape sat plugin and a linear phase Eq for scope.
Thanks
Thomas

ConvolveQ is a Linear Phase EQ (and more):

Tape Saturation? Not aware of any device designed for this in Scope per se, but it'll be handy enough to simulate... Roll off the top end with an EQ, compress the mid range, mix in some noise from a simple oscillator, add a bit of sheen with PsyQ if you feel it's missing, stick a soft clip limiter at the end of the chain... You can help to increase loudness before a compressor with some Overdrive, or SpaceF's Fat Inserts, which sounds great on pretty much everything!
Adern's very cool Music Pack - with the thinking-outside-the-box FatCat compressor (increasing the volume of quite signals rather than reducing the volume of the loud signals, which might increase noise, which is desirable in this instance), Sat for straight-up saturation, and a nice 5-band EQ, might well be a one-stop solution...

There are tape sims, like Celmo's, that might help to get you there too:

There is also DAS free tape sim. It doesnt emulate the overall tape saturation but rather the bias control - which it is doing amazingly accurate! I have never heard any other plugin, vst or scope that gives you that hi freq "expensive" sheen that that plugin delivers.

Mix the DAS Plug with a FAT II-S or Sat.
