Some still have fan pages all over the web. Made in collaboration with TASCAM for their 50th anniversary, this collection includes 4 of their most popular and iconic tape machines. Now you can give your tracks that TASCAM warmth and character with officially certified versions of their most sought-after models, all together in the T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection. When it comes to the development of home-recording, no other company was more important than TASCAM, empowering countless musicians and songwriters to do more on their own. Join us as we celebrate TASCAM's 50th anniversary with the T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection. It's subtle, but the impact is anything but.Īnd the T-RackS TASCAM Tape collection faithfully brings all this magic right to your DAW.įresh from our experience creating the original T-RackS Tape Machine Collection, we're bringing that modeling technology back home where so many of the songs we love were conceived and first put to tape. The program coming out of these units is very similar to the one coming in, just better. This model works in symbiosis with a powerful dynamic convolution engine to capture the essence of the real machines, faithfully bringing the complete picture of these complex analog engineering marvels to the digital realm.

IK’s DSP engineering team then took each stage apart, analyzed them in-depth, and produced a model of the entire magnetic tape-recording process. Each machine then went through a complete restoration to bring them perfectly back “to spec” before the scientific modelling process started.

It’s imprinted in our DNA.įor the T-RackS TASCAM Tape collection, each machine was chosen specifically by TASCAM and TEAC themselves, recommending particularly sought-after models from their history and helping IK source the best-sounding units. More than just saturation, compression, or EQ alone, these factors work together, one affecting each other with the dynamics of music, adding a “movement” that goes into the soul of what we perceive.ĭecades of music produced on these pieces of artful human engineering have tailored the way we think music should sound.

What a tape machine adds to audio is the result of a number of interactions amongst several interdependent factors. They impart magic to the audio material, lifting the art within to a higher level. Analog tape audio recorders are complex systems.
