Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder Plug-In

...a plugin that can recover whatever was missing in the tracking stage. Although having used the VCC and the UAD studer plugin on a bunch of mixes, I do like what they do. Arrangement and talent all around are always going to be the number one factor in a great final product....

...push the signal and get more compression as an effect. However the 7 cons are much more than the pros. The UAD Studer or Oxide tape plug ins are a great way to add some smoothness back on a recording. Portico, Cranesong, and some other hardware also can be another option as well. Today's converters...

A fun trick with that is to put it on 7.5ips and turn the bias all the way up. This kills high end. Then add it back with the eq, which gives you a nice high end that is mellow but clear. Great for sources that are a little piercing- I do it on overheads/...
