To celebrate TASCAM’s 50th anniversary in 2021, the company partnered with IK Multimedia to create the IK Multimedia T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection. Since many home studio owners, including a legion of Sweetwater employees, cut their teeth on TASCAM tape machines, the time is ripe to reintroduce their classic sound to the world. This plug-in bundle includes carefully modeled re-creations: TEAC A-6100 MKII, TEAC A-3340S, TASCAM 388, and TASCAM Porta One. TASCAM selected and restored the best-sounding vintage units before IK’s team of engineers took over and created a true-to-life software-modeled sound. IK Multimedia’s modeling technology and high-powered dynamic convolution engine serve up a faithful re-creation of the original hardware units. Purchase the IK Multimedia T-RackS TASCAM Tape Collection and add the warm tape-style saturation to your mastering bus today!
Made specifically for mastering, the original TEAC A-6100 MKII was a semi-pro, 2-channel tape recorder. Its remarkable sound and bulletproof build quality earned a loyal following among home recording enthusiasts and studio owners alike. The A-6100 MKII’s unique sound makes it a must-have for tape enthusiasts. And now, with the IK Multimedia T-RackS TEAC A-6100 MKII plug-in, you can have that sound in your DAW! IK Multimedia even interviewed the designer who engineered the A-6100 MKII to ensure that their plug-in sounds just like the hardware units! This plug-in comes with four tape formula emulations, two tape speeds, and all of the controls found on the hardware units. What’s more, you’ll benefit from IK Multimedia’s “true stereo” operation and transport modeling. Users at Sweetwater report that the IK Multimedia T-RackS TEAC A-6100 MKII plug-in offers a stunningly accurate re-creation of TEAC’s home recording staple.
The T-RackS TEAC A-3340S plug-in re-creates the magic of the TEAC A-3340S 4-channel Simul-Sync tape deck. Those vintage semi-professional units enabled artists to overdub in sync, which opened the door for some serious creative potential. The TEAC A-3340S, which recorded many famous 4-track demos and secured a record deal for the Doobie Brothers, among others, remains in use today — most notably by Brian Eno. With the IK Multimedia T-RackS TEAC A-3340S plug-in, you can imbue your music with that coveted old-school 4-track sound. This plug-in gives you the choice of four tape formula emulations, two speeds, and lets you individually calibrate the record and playback heads. And with the flexible controls, simplified interface, and powerful processing, the IK Multimedia T-RackS TEAC A-3340S plug-in will deliver a lifelike reproduction of the original analog sound right in your DAW. Pick up this plug-in from Sweetwater and experience the superb analog sound for yourself.
Looking for a plug-in that imparts some analog magic on your digital recording projects? The T-RackS TASCAM 388 plug-in, a partnership between IK Multimedia and TASCAM, is just what the doctor ordered. This true-to-life software emulation of the classic TEAC/TASCAM 388 reel-to-reel recorder comes with one channel of the original 8-channel mixer, complete with tone-shaping controls and new features. Users at Sweetwater are fond of the four selectable tape formula emulations that let you tailor your sound even further. What’s more, the T-RackS TASCAM 388 plug-in comes with handy presets and allows you to save your own custom settings for later. T-RackS TASCAM 388 is certified by TASCAM to produce the beloved sound of the old units right within your DAW. You don’t need to spend thousands on temperamental vintage equipment when you have the IK Multimedia T-RackS TASCAM 388 plug-in in your library.
The ’80s kicked off the home recording revolution. In the thick of it all, TASCAM’s Porta One Portastudio played a huge part in changing the way many musicians recorded music. Decades later, those vintage units enjoy a rabid following among lo-fi enthusiasts and tape-obsessed home producers. Now, everyone can experience the magic of the Porta One with IK Multimedia’s T-RackS TASCAM Porta One, a plug-in that offers streamlined controls that make it easy to access the perfect sound. You get awesome features like selectable tape formulations, adjustable signal path selection, “true stereo” operation, selectable tape speed, transport modeling, and record bias. Of course, as a T-RackS plug-in, Porta One can work as a standalone plug-in or inside the T-RackS 5 shell. Whether you’re looking for a Springsteen-style lo-fi sound or vintage warmth and clarity, you can achieve it with the T-RackS TASCAM Porta One plug-in.
