Plugin Boutique has launched a limited time sale on Universal Audio’s native audio plugin that delivers the rich analog sound of the world’s most popular multichannel tape machine.

Offered at a 85% discount, the Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder lets you track and mix with the complete Studer A800 electronic signal paths to add warmth, presence, cohesion, and low-end punch to your audio.

For more than 30 years, artists and engineers alike have been drawn to the warm analog sound, solid low-end, and overall presence of the Studer® A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder. The sheer number of albums recorded on this legendary 2” analog tape machine — including classics from Metallica, Stevie Wonder, Tom Petty, A Tribe Called Quest, and Jeff Buckley — serve as shining examples of the musicality of analog tape.

Fully authenticated by Studer, and modeled by UA’s world‑renowned team of DSP engineers and magnetic recording expert Jay McKnight, the Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder plug-in is the first product of its kind. By faithfully modeling the entire circuit path of the famous A800 machine from Allen Sides’ collection at Ocean Way Studios, this is the most accurate representation of multitrack analog tape recording available.

Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), the Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder is on sale for $49 USD instead of $349 USD until November 30th, 2023.
