TECH
About

The Tape Machine 440 is modeled on the iconic Ampex AG440B stereo recorder. The 440 series dates from the late 1960s and delivers an unmistakably soulful color that made this historic mixing and mastering machine a legend. This machine became the standard for stereo mix-down since it offers a rounded, solid bass and a silky presence on highs and upper mids, leaving your mixes… finished! Pass your session through the 440, and hear your mix become a record!

Using a careful mix of convolution and physical modeling, the Tape Machine 440 re-creates the complex interplay of effects taking place in the analog audio tape recording process, down to the finest detail. From the sonic character of the tape formula, to the movement of the tape over the machine heads, every detail is captured with life-like accuracy.

Add warmth and character, low-end weight, ear-pleasing high end and glue your tracks together with this true-to-life slice of recording history.
