Product Detail
Bring the iconic sound of early American analog tape to your digital recordings with Waves Kramer Master Tape. In the early days, analog tape defined the rock 'n' roll sound. Recording engineers pushed it into distortion, creating a powerful tape compression effect. The tube electronics added warmth and character. Even today, early 1/4' analog tape recorders are highly sought - after but extremely rare. From Hendrix to Led Zeppelin, these machines set the standard for classic tracks. Now, thanks to Kramer Master Tape, you can capture that same magic in digital. Developed with studio legend Eddie Kramer, this tool lets you customize the sound using speed, bias, and flux controls. It models the American tube recorder used in Olympic Studios. With tape delay up to 500 ms and controls for time, feedback, and filter, you have full creative control. Add wow, flutter, and hiss for extra authenticity and use tube saturation to warm up harsh - sounding instruments.
Using Waves Kramer Master Tape is easy. First, decide whether you want to use it on individual tracks or on the master. You can start by adjusting the speed, bias, and flux controls to get the sound you like. The tape delay feature is great for adding depth to your audio. You can set the time, adjust the feedback, and use the filter controls as you wish. To make your sound more authentic, add some wow, flutter, and hiss. And if you have harsh - sounding instruments, use the tube saturation to warm them up. As for maintenance, since this is a digital product, there's no physical upkeep. But make sure your software is always up - to - date to get the best performance. Also, don't overload the controls too much at once, as it might make your audio sound unnatural. Have fun exploring all the sounds this product can create!
