T-RackS® is a registered trademark property of IK Multimedia Production. The higher speed gives you more fidelity, and the lower speed delivers a warmer, rounder tone. Select the speed of the tape transport between 7.5 and 15 or 15 and 30 inches per second (“ips”), depending on the tape machine used. If perfectly identical left and right channel processing is a must, simply disable this feature. This is good and part of the analog recording mojo! The T-RackS Tape Machine Collection perfectly recreates these subtle differences to deliver the real experience. “Repro” passes your signal through the entire analog recording system: input-> recording amplifier -> recording head -> tape -> playback head -> playback preamplifier -> output stage.Įven a perfectly aligned tape machine will have slight level, EQ and distortion differences between the left and right channels. Depending on how the recorder is designed, the “Input” path can sound extremely transparent or just slightly more colored. With “Input,” the signal only passes through the input and output electronic stages of the recorders, bypassing the tape. This is the essence, and the T-RackS Tape Machine collection faithfully bring all this magic right to your DAW. It's subtle but you can feel that it is not. The program coming out a professional tape recorder is very similar to the one coming in, just better. This model now works in symbiosis with a powerful dynamic convolution engine that captures the full essence of the real machines, creating what we believe is the only way to faithfully bring the complete picture of these complex analog engineering marvels to the digital realm.
Then IK’s DSP engineering team took each of the stages apart, studied and analyzed them in-depth, thus producing a model of the entire magnetic tape recording process. Each machine went through a complete electronic and mechanical restoration to bring them perfectly back “to spec” before the scientific modelling process started. The T-RackS Tape Machine collection is the culmination of two years of full-time research and development on real world-class machines.
