Record a track through a modeled reel-to-reel. Slow the tape for head bump and weight, push the preamp for harmonics, and add wow and flutter to set the sound in motion.
Tape Machine is a tape saturation plugin built on a modeled reel-to-reel: a tube and transformer input stage, magnetic tape with bias and hysteresis, and a replay head with speed-dependent head bump and bandwidth.
The response changes with level and tape speed, the way a real machine does. Every other plugin in the pack takes its tape from here.
