Modeled after two of the most iconic tape machines in history, the Virtual Tape Machines Plug-In from Slate Digital gives your mixes that fat, rich, and punchy sound, once only possible in big-budget studios. Choose your tape type, speed, bias, and more, and then dial in the vibe that made analog legendary.
Virtual Tape Machines recreates how some real-world tape machines naturally reinforce the lows, giving you a subtle or dramatic lift where it's needed. It gives you two tapes speeds to play with: 15" per second (ips), for a rounder, thicker sound with some harmonic saturation, or switch to 30 ips for tighter bass with a cleaner overall polish.
The plug-in lets you choose between two machines: a 2" 16-track multitrack machine and a 1/2" stereo mastering deck. The multitrack is perfect for adding glue across your drums, guitars, and vocals, while the mastering deck delivers a more polished finish. VTM also lets you adjust the internal bass alignment to clean up muddiness and keep your low-end balanced.
