AudioThing has released an update to the Reels tape emulation plugin with a built-in echo section.
Version 1.2 now features both tape-start and tape-stop effects.
Based on an old Japanese portable tape recorder with a very distinct Lo-Fi analog sound, Reels emulates all the imperfections of consumer reel-to-reel recorders.
We have modeled three different 1/4” tape frequency responses and saturations, along with all the analog imperfections of tape recording / playback.
Reels will add a very rough retro analog sound to your mixes. If you are looking for a Hi-Fi mastering tape emulation, this is not the plugin for you!

- Added: Tape Start Effect.
- Added: macOS 10.15 Catalina support.

Reels comes in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats. It is currently on sale from AudioThing and distributor Plugin Boutique for only 39 EUR (regular 59 EUR).
