IK Multimedia T-RackS Tape Machines 99 Reviews

When it comes to the sonic magic of analog tape, we tend to think of the gargantuan machines that were the backbone of professional recording studios in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. But companies such as Studer also produced more compact units that were used in broadcast and location recording as well as in audiophile home setups. One such machine, manufactured by Studer in the 1980s under their Revox marque, was the PR99 mkII, a variant of the company's high-end consumer B77 model with balanced I/O, a real-time tape counter, and auto-location features. Now, with the IK Multimedia T-RackS Tape Machine 99 plug-in, you can deploy the sound of this legendary 2-track recorder from the convenience of your DAW. Sweetwater's advice: If you want to enhance your digital tracks with that coveted — and elusive — analog musicality and capture the magic of every note, give the IK Multimedia T-RackS Tape Machine 99 plug-in an audition.
