MAGNETIC is a plugin that mimics the flavor of Reel to Reel Audio Tape, giving that analog warming effect used to get that old vintage tape sound.

It can inject sterile audio with the warmth and character of analog tape saturation and classic tube circuitry.

You can use the plug-in on individual tracks, or during mastering over the whole mix.

Features:

• REEL SPEED controls the speed of the virtual tape machine. Higher speeds give you more studio-quality fidelity; lower speeds sound more like a cassette tape. The DASH setting gives you the highest-fidelity of digital audio tape predominately used in the 80’s and 90’s.
• SATURATION gives different levels of tube and/or tape saturation effects. Recreates the warmth and character of classic tube circuitry and analog tape saturation.
• TAPE COLOR provides the highly sought-after sound of Natural, Vintage and Modern Tape Compression.
• LOWS controls the amount of low frequency equalization. Select the boost/cut frequency range with the Body, Warm, and Lush Settings.
• HIGHS control the amount of high frequency equalization. Select the boost/cut frequency range with the Detail, Focus and Brilliance Settings.
• BOOST switches on/off the built-in Mastering Limiter section. This incorporates multiple stages of limiting and a look-ahead brickwall limiter to deliver first-class peak reduction. Adjust the Gain and Ceiling Knobs to achieve High-Resolution Limiting.
• GAIN sets the threshold for the incoming signal. Higher settings result in a louder sound.
• CEILING sets the brickwall output level so that it limits all peaks above the number it is set to.
• VU METER shows the amount of limiting taken place when the Boost circuit is engaged.
• POWER bypasses the entire unit.
