Get the sound of a vintage tape machine right in your DAW with the IK Multimedia Tape Machine 99, a downloadable plug-in that works in your Digital Audio Workstation, or within the T-RackS CS Standalone application. This software uses dynamic convolution and physical modeling to capture all the warmth, heft, vibe, and nuance of a tape machine, specifically the Revox PR99 Mk II, a compact, rackmountable stereo tape recorder made by Studer in the 1980s. This machine offered an unhyped yet elegant tone, one with a pleasantly smooth frequency response.
Tape machines add a quality to the sound that is the result of many interdependent factors working together. IK Multimedia broke these components down to the spec level to analyze and authentically recreate happens when the whole system is driven at once. They also modeled the controls, with selectable signal-path monitoring, transport modeling, adjustable biasing. The unit also offers a true signal stereo path for a more well-defined sound. They’ve also modeled four types of tape, each of which alters the sound. This software is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms. It will work in AU, VST2, VST3, and AAX formats.
