Slate Digital VTM Virtual Tape Machines - Electronic Delivery
Tape machine modeling plug-in
MFR# 1035-1100
Product Description
Analog Tape Machines have a SOUND
Digital recording is now the standard for professional music production. But many engineers and musicians long for the days of analog recording, and for good reason.
Big, fat, warm, deep, rich, and exciting are just some of the terms used to describe what recording onto a piece of magnetic tape sounds like. Most of all, tape is more musical.
To capture the sound of tape is to capture a living, breathing sound that dynamically reacts to the music going on to it. Slate Digital Chief Technology Officer Fabrice Gabriel utilized his electrical engineering degree as a foundation for his comprehensive study of the physical processes that occur when recording to analog tape through a tape machine. What began with science led to Fabrice’s discovery of the seemingly magical properties of tape and inspired him to create his most advanced, dynamic algorithms yet. Two industry-standard machines were precisely modeled. What followed was a year of critical listening and algorithm tweaking, with some help from the expert ears of Slate Digital CEO, Steven Slate.
The result is the Slate Digital VTM Virtual Tape Machines plug-in. With models of both a 2 inch 16 track from NRG Recording, and a ½ inch 2 track machine from Howie Weinberg Mastering, the VTM will give your mixes an absolutely authentic analog vibe that will take your mixes to the next level. With added dimension, fatness, depth, and warmth, you’ll wonder how you ever mixed without it!

If I had this prior to releasing my mix it would have saved me thousands of dollars! It's a brilliant piece of gear which I would say is an absolute necessity. I found this and all of Slate Digital's gear while searching for an alternative to UA software. I had rationed that I could not afford to use this kind of emulation gear and found out immediately that I could not afford to not use it. All of the slate gear basically launched my studio into the next level. A level that I previously thought was reserved only for a select few geniuses who had dark magic and secrets unknown. The Slate VBC and VMC are standard on every track and are easy to use, effective and relished. I highly recommend the All Access Pass for every digital studio and musician.

Understanding Tape Machines And Emulating Their Sound
03.01.2018Read More
The recording process has changed a lot over the years. In the past, engineers used tube mics and analog preamps to record instruments directly to analog tape. The combination of unique tones from those three pieces of gear added a very pleasing texture to the music created.
While it’s still extremely common to see analog preamps and tube mics in a modern studio setting, tape machines are a somewhat rarer bird. While you'll still find them in many studios, the industry-wide shift to working in the box has made bypassing tape a somewhat more feasible practice. Because of this, many engineers feel that modern music is missing something. Continue reading →
