This meticulously crafted collection brings the iconic character of four classic tape recording machines from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s directly into your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW):
- Tape Machine 440 (Ampex 440B): Dating from the late 1960s, this model delivers an unmistakably soulful color that made it a professional and historic mixing and mastering legend. It has the power to transform your mixes into finished tracks.
- Tape Machine 80 (Studer A80 Mk II): Engineered and manufactured in Switzerland from 1970 to 1988, the Studer A80 Mk II became the de facto standard for professional high-end multi-tracking and is an essential part of countless influential records. Its sonic signature is a perfect blend between transparency and subtle harmonic enhancement.
- Tape Machine 99 (Revox PR99 Mk II): A stereo professional recorder produced by Studer in the 1980s, this model boasts a hybrid design that offers a very smooth frequency response, especially on bass, with almost no trace of the typical “head bump” phenomenon. It was a standard for broadcast and classical music, appreciated by audiophiles for its exceptional sonic quality.
- Tape Machine 24 (MCI JH24): First produced in 1980, the JH24 was a staple in US studios during the 1980s. Its completely transformerless, high-performance op-amp-based design delivers a pristine, phase-coherent, and remarkably true-to-the-source audio performance, resulting in a moderate and elegant polish to your music.
IK Multimedia invested two years of full-time research and development on real, meticulously restored world-class machines to ensure incredible accuracy. The collection employs a careful mix of convolution and physical modeling to recreate the complex interplay of machine, tape, and audio, capturing even the smallest detail of each machine. The internal magnetic recording physical model operates at a remarkably high 384 kHz sampling rate, enabling authentic replication of true tape characteristics that other “tape saturators” may miss.
