Explore the possibilities of Reelight PRO.
Tone Empire combines dynamic impulse-response techniques and DSP modelling to create the tape-processing options. Input saturation, crosstalk, hiss and stereo-width behaviour provide more decisions than choosing a machine alone. Use the same musical passage to compare those settings without being distracted by a louder output.
Key features
- Six tape-machine models
- Speed, bias and saturation controls
- Crosstalk, hiss and stereo shaping
Who it suits
Mixers and producers exploring tape-inspired coloration.
