Game-changing tape emulation plugin

Analogue purists have long alleged that digital recording, whilst highly accurate and detailed, sounds inherently sterile, lacking the added depth, warmth and smoothness of magnetic tape. Of course, this is a subjective topic, but it's easy to get a general idea of what's being differentiated here if you listen to an album from the 70s and compare its sonic character with something made entirely on a computer in the last decade or so.

Pros:

• Most flexible tape sim yet.
• Loads of creative uses.
• Smooth, cuddly sound.
• Plenty of handy presets.
• Authentic noise reduction.
• Built-in analyser.

Cons:

• Nothing worth mentioning.

Rating:

• 5/5 Stars
