In 1980, the MCI JH24 took the professional studio world by storm and became a multitrack standard in studios around the world. The JH24's high-performance, transformerless, operational amplifier-based design delivered original, phase-coherent, and incredibly faithful-to-the-source audio performance. Now, with the IK Multimedia T-RackS Tape Machine 24 plug-in, you can deploy the sound of this legendary multitrack recorder from the convenience of your DAW.
The Tape Machine 24 recreates the complex interplay of recorder, tape and electronics to deliver pristine vintage analog sound down to the finest detail. And, of course, you can fine-tune the machine with your choice of material and ribbon speed, as well as adjust the bias and calibration. If you want to enhance your digital tracks with the coveted - and elusive - analog musicality and capture the magic of every note, give the IK Multimedia T-RackS Tape Machine 24 plug-in a listen.
Professional analog recorders are highly valued, even (and perhaps even more so) in the digital age for the unique warmth, punch and character they convey. And in fact, professional studios often run their digital mixes through an analog tape generation to increase their weight and cohesion. Upon its release in 1980, the MCI JH24 took its place in the select group of technologically advanced analog multi-track "super recorders" that crowned the golden age of analog. Using dynamic convolution and physical modeling, IK Multimedia meticulously captured your sound for the T-RackS Tape Machine 24 plug-in. It's an ideal sound for multitracking and mixing/mastering in today's all-digital workflows, giving your mix the polished, analog "glue" that comes out of the speakers.
