Tube Analog Bliss

NOTE: Beginning with version 9, Waves plug-ins no longer require an iLok to use. Click Here to learn more about registering your Waves plug-in.

Breathe tubular analog life into your DAW tracks with the Waves MPX Master Tape plug-in. Developed in association with Eddie Kramer and modeled on an Ampex 350 with 351 electronics, MPX Master Tape gives you warmth, sweetness, and lucidity - without a trace of muddiness. Treat your entire mix - or just individual elements to offset the oftentimes harsh, clinical quality of digital. Take the digital edge off synthesizers or sampled instruments, or jack up the drive level to get tape saturation's punchy brand of compression. With Waves MPX Master Tape in your toolbox, you have the best of analog and digital at your fingertips. It's a wonderful time to be alive and recording!

  • Modeled on the Ampex 350/351 reel-to-reel

  • Slap & feedback delay
  • Up to 24bit 96kHz resolution

Warms up the digital cold.

by Adam from Merchantville, NJ USA

This plug-in is great at warming up digital tracks. When the plug-in is engaged, I can immediately hear the harsh, high frequencies of tracks get rounded off, the low end becomes thicker, and more de... read more [+]tailed is added. Engaging this plug-in can quickly make tracks sound more "real," with analog coloration. Be sure to use caution though. It is easy to dial in too much flux, noise, or wow and flutter when tracks are soloed. I find it best to use Trim before the plug-in, select a preset in MPX, and increase or decrease your gain, in Trim, until you find the sweet spot. close [-]

Wonderstruck

To be completely honest, I don't like the other Kramer plug-ins. They seem more gimmicky than useful. But this one surprised me tremendously. I don't believe this is the best tape emulation out there.... read more [+] But it definitely shouldn't be this cheap. Its sound and functionality great exceed its price. You can definitely tell they spent some time on this one. Its not just a pretty picture like a lot of the other Waves stuff is. I still just don't understand why this doesn't cost more. This should be headlining their bundles right now. close [-]

Eddie Kramer Master Tape is a unique plug-in in the world of WAVES. KT fills a very subtle and subjective niche better than any other Analog Tape emulation I've ever heard.

I love it

This plug-in is great. I use it on my master track(s) to glue the mix together. As other reviewers have stated, don't get too crazy with the knobs.

Ironic really. close [-]
