Avid Pro Audio Community - FS Reel Tape Suite

Reel Tape Suite
Beef up your mixes and add that elusive magnetic vibe to your live sound
Avid brings the unmistakable warmth and punch of analog tape into the digital domain with Reel Tape Suite™. This powerful collection of three plug-ins — Reel Tape™ Saturation, Reel Tape™ Delay, and Reel Tape™ Flanger — is designed to beef up your mixes and add that elusive magnetic vibe to your live sound, without the hassle of actually owning and operating a reel-to-reel tape machine. Reel Tape Saturation models the inherent warmth of classic analog tape machines and tape formulations with astounding accuracy, instantly infusing your music with an authoritative "old-school" feel. Reel Tape Delay and Reel Tape Flanger duplicate electro-mechanical delay and flanging effects without cluttering your control room with large tape machines (or having to keep rewinding your echo tape), and give you real-time control over every nuance of these classic techniques.
• REEL TAPE SATURATION: Bring the warmth and punch of analog tape color and saturation into the digital domain
• Phase and frequency response characteristics modeled from three types of analog tape machines, Saturation effects modeled from two popular tape formulations
• Control the tape speed effect from 7.5 to 30 ips (inches per second), Noise controls adjust the amount of tape hiss
• Bias controls simulate the effect of under- or over-biasing the tape machine, Cal Adjust control simulates the effect of three common calibration levels
• REEL TAPE DELAY: Authentically modeled analog tape echo and delay effects
• Reproduce the fluctuations in tape speed, Adjust delays from 93 ms to 1,486 ms (1-7/8 ips to 30 ips)
• Feedback control adjusts the amount of delayed output fed back into the input, Wow & Flutter controls adjust tape speed fluctuation
• Bass and Treble controls in the echo/delay feedback loop allow for subtle to extreme feedback and saturation effects
• REEL TAPE FLANGER: Accurately reproduce analog tape machine flanging
• Adjustable speed control allows for manual flanging and artificial double-tracking effects, Feedback control adjusts the amount of flanged output fed back into the input
• Wow & Flutter controls adjust tape speed fluctuation, LFO Rate and Depth settings control the speed and depth of the flanging effect
