Analog Stereo Sound

Even perfectly aligned tape recorders have slight differences in level, EQ, and distortion between the right and left channels, which is part of the nature of analog recording. The software recreates these subtle differences to give you a 1-to-1 experience of the real thing. If needed, this feature can be easily disabled.

Tape Speed

The speed of the tape transport can be changed to provide either more fidelity or a warmer, rounder sound.

Transport Modeling

This is where the behavior of the mechanical transport is precisely modeled to reproduce the small irregularities in the movement of the tape that lead to sonic changes. However, it is also possible to bypass this effect if you prefer a more natural sound processing.

Record Bias

Ideal bias voltage settings provide maximum sensitivity and low distortion. Deliberate overdriving is a common technique to create a warmer, slightly saturated sound. Underbiasing can be used to uniquely boost high frequencies and add distortion and other non-linear effects.
