VirSyn Vtape Delay v1.3.0

Return to Analog

VTAPE ist eine Plugin Suite basierend auf einer realistischen Simulation der Tonaufzeichnung mit analogen Bandmaschinen.

VTAPE Saturator konzentriert sich auf die Simulation des Aufnahme/Wiedergabeverhaltens einer analogen Bandmaschine.

VTAPE Delay benutzt diese Simulation als Kernmodul für ein modernes, Stepsequenzer basierendes Multi-Tap Delay und führt damit den warmen Klang der alten Bandechos in das 21. Jahrhundert.

VTAPE Flanger simuliert den legendären "Tape flanging" Effekt der durch die Wiedergabe desselben Musikmaterials auf zwei Bandmaschinen mit leicht unterschiedlicher Geschwindigkeit ensteht.

Warum und Wie ?

Why bothering about going back to analogue tape recording knowing that todays digital audio recording is undoubtly more precise in reproducing the original sound ?

Perhaps you already guessed the answer: it´s the imperfection and the technical deficiencies which can add something wonderful to the sound if properly used.

Most emulations of the `tape sound´ focus on the saturation characteristic alone and underestimate the effect of a subtle amount of `flutter´ - high frequency fluctuations of the tape speed. This adds something which is probably the most important part of the special sound: The harmonic lines are "widened" by the effect of frequency modulation due to flutter which causes a 'thickening' of the audio signal contributing to the fat sound of analog, compared to the more accurate, but thin sound of digital. This effect called `Modulation noise´ makes it easier to mix tracks together by removing the static character especially of electric/electronic sounds. It´s interesting to know that many natural instruments have a "built-in" flutter effect which strongly contributes to their sound.

The distortion and compression effects due to the saturation characteristic of magnetic recording depend on the input signal level. With normal recording levels the distortion is around 1% which is away from sounding really distorted but quite audible and adds a pleasant color to the sound. Higher values should only be used as special effect on some suitable tracks dependant on the style of music you´re after.
The saturation is also responsible for the `instant compression´ effect which causes transient signals to be reduced in level. In contrast to a dedicated compressor this one is working with instant attack/release and therefore avoiding the typical pumping artefacts.

T-RackS 3 Singles
Single Effects Processor series

T-RackS 3 Single Effects Processor series offers each of the 10 modules included in the award-winning T-RacKS 3 Deluxe Mastering & Mixing Suite, available as individual processors that operate as native VST, AU, or RTAS plug-in, for more convenient usage inside any popular DAW when mixing individual tracks.

In addition to being used as a plug-in on individual tracks, all T-RackS 3 singles can be integrated into the the T-RackS 3 Standard Mastering & Mixing Suite as a user’s needs expand. For example, a user who owns the T-Racks 3 Standard suite can add the Vintage Compressor 670 module and integrate it into the 12 slots in the series/parallel chain for sophisticated routing and parameter recall.

The T-RackS 3 Single Effects Processor series includes these 10 plug-ins:

• Vintage Tube Compressor/Limiter model 670
• Vintage Tube Program Equalizer
• Opto compressor
• Intelligent, multi-algorithm Brickwall limiter
• High precision, high definition Linear Phase Equalizer
• Classic T-RackS Compressor
• Classic T-RackS Multi-band Limiter
• Classic T-RackS Clipper
• Classic T-RackS Equalizer
• High quality, high precision, complete metering suite

Features:

• 10 individual mixing/mastering processors series comprised of 3 analog and vintage emulations (including models based on the Fairchild 670 and the Pultec EQP-1A), 2 digital processors as well the 4 classic T-RackS processors plus metering suite with Peak, Perceived Loudness, Phase, and RMS meters, plus a Spectrum analyzer with Peak, RMS and Averaging indicator
• VST, Audio Unit and RTAS plug-ins for any compatible DAW on Mac or PC
• New high-fidelity oversampling with crystal clear transparency, for high quality audio processing
• A-B-C-D quick comparison settings allow to compare various processor set-ups with one click
• New SCC™ technology coupled with IK’s unique DSM™ technology provides the most realistic software emulation of vintage gear to date
• Can be integrated within T-RackS 3 Standard Mastering & Mixing Suite plug-in or standalone
• Presets can be read within module presets in T-RackS 3 Deluxe or Standard Mastering & Mixing Suite
• Extremely affordable: each plug-in are available for a fraction of what comparable sound quality plug-ins cost
• Current owners of T-RackS 3 Deluxe or Standard suites will be given the individual modules (included in the package they purchased) as a FREE download in their IK User Area

T-RackS 3 Single Effects Processor series has all the tools you need to create superb, tube-toned or digital-tuned, mixes and masters on you DAW.

Its rich, warm sound combines new tube-modeled and state-of-the-art digital processors on top of its classic top-notch analog classics. The complete metering section keeps all the most important variables of your sound under control. A truly superior set of processors that will put a polish on your tracks you may have never thought possible. All this, while adding the beautiful warmth and space of the tube devices it emulates. No other plug-in series offers this kind of dedicated environment for such an important task, and nothing sounds like T-RackS 3.
