The signal chain of Helios Console, Pye compressor, and 2-track tape worked magic that lives to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eNow you can travel back in time to Olympic Studios, and enjoy the warm, fat, analog character of those classic recordings. These artfully crafted plugins are a breath of fresh air in a digital world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eMore than Just Tape Emulation\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eKramer Master Tape models ¼” analog tape saturation with uncanny accuracy—but also delivers tape delay effects. You can even isolate the tube mic pre’s sweet analog sound, and use it independently of the tape effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eInsane Attention to Tape’s Details\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eWaves flew in virgin 3M Scotch 207 tape from Australia (really!) for the modeling process. The tape’s extended high-frequency response was the studio’s favorite for reproducing the sparkle of voice and acoustic instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eEqualization that Hits the Sweet Spots\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eKramer HLS Channel’s EQ has the uncanny ability to seemingly make anything that goes through it sound better. This wasn’t only about the circuitry, but the intelligent choices made for EQ frequencies and boost\/cut options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eFrom Low Bass to High Air\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eThe clever bass parameter design makes controlling the low end easy (even for vinyl). The comprehensive midrange options are ideal for tone-shaping, and boosting the 10 kHz range adds unusually sweet air and brilliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eThe Secret of the PIE Sound\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eThe Pye compressor used pulse-width modulation—not opto, FET, VCA, or other common gain-control elements—to control gain. This is the secret to Kramer PIE’s fast, transparent, low-distortion compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eMore than Bus Compression\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eAlthough the Pye compressor was revered for bus compression (whether for drums, background vocals, or masters), PIE is also a transparent compressor for any audio source--especially vocals and bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eCreated with Studio Legend Eddie Kramer\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eEddie Kramer helmed the studio—and worked this gear—when he recorded and mixed Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Eddie was also there to help us choose the precise units being emulated, and then inspect, fine-tune, and validate the analog modeling process, to ensure that the modeled plugin versions match the precise sonic qualities of the originals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-product__notes\"\u003eThe Signal Chain that Powered Zeppelin, Hendrix, Stones\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch-product__features\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading xch-heading--main xch-product__features\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"xch-features__list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eCreated in close collaboration with Eddie Kramer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eVersatile—process individual vocal tracks to mastering mixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eHLS Channel models the Rolling Stones mobile truck’s Helios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eModels the classic Olympic Studios signal chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eCaptures the renowned high-end presence and fat low end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eCan optionally include the charm of analog gear’s imperfections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch-product__requirements\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading xch-heading--main\"\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch-requirements__wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"xch-requirements\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-requirement__os\"\u003eMAC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"xch-os__border\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-os__details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-os__name\"\u003eOS X\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-os__version\"\u003emacOS Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-requirement__ram\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-requirement__ram--label\"\u003eMemory\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-requirement__ram--value\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch_requirement__disk\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__disk--label\"\u003eDisk\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__disk--value\"\u003e16\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch_requirement__cpu\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__cpu--label\"\u003eCPU\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__cpu--value\"\u003eIntel or Silicon Architecture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"xch-requirements\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-requirement__os\"\u003eWINDOWS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"xch-os__border\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-os__details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-os__name\"\u003eWindows\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch-os__version\"\u003eWindows 10 64 bit and Windows 11\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch_requirement__cpu\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__cpu--label\"\u003eCPU\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xch_requirement__cpu--value\"\u003eX64 compatible Intel or AMD CPU\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WAVES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46740501463261,"sku":"1432-2786","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/7899\/5677\/files\/tape-tubes-transistors.png?v=1758582855","url":"https:\/\/plugify.store\/es\/products\/waves-tape-tubes-transistors","provider":"PLUGIFY STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
