Waves Abbey Road J37 Tape - Vintage Tape Machine Plugin

Waves Abbey Road J37 Tape delivers the sound of the all-valve Studer J37 tape machine at Abbey Road Studios, which captured legendary recordings by The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Created with Abbey Road, it adds the warm harmonic distortion, depth and glue of analogue tape to digital recordings.

You can choose from three exclusive 1960s EMI tape formulas, introduce wow and flutter, and control bias, tape speed, hiss and other original tape qualities. Three types of tape delay recreate authentic echo effects, and the plugin is equally at home on individual tracks, groups or full mixes for mastering.
