“B” and “C” emulate a “transformer-based” and a “British” tape machine, respectively, and color the signal in more pronounced ways. The “A” tape model simulates the sound of “a classic Swiss high-end reel-to-reel machine, known and loved for its precision and linearity.” It’s by far the most transparent and flat of the three models, making it the most versatile.

Softube Tape cuts out the fluff while still offering a wide range of sound, emulating three different tape machines, presented as A, B, and C. It’s since gone to garner wide critical acclaim, including that of industry legends like Joe Chiccarelli (Beck, U2, Strokes), Howard Willing (Smashing Pumpkins, Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson), and BT.Īnd if there’s anyone I trust, it’s BT, the creator of This Binary Universe, one of the most prolific electronic albums of all time. So when Softube threw their hat in the analog tape emulation ring with Tape, people took notice. They are the creators of the Drawmer 1973 Multi-Band Compressor and the Drawmer S73 Intelligent Master Processor, some of the best sounding, warmest, most highly regarded analog emulations around. Softube is no stranger to the world of high-end analog emulation.
