Waves is once again making waves with their newly announced tape emulation plug-in – MPX Master Tape. The plug-in was developed in association with Eddie Kramer and is modeled after a vintage 1/4” reel to reel Ampex 350/351.  The plug-in will provide your mix with typical features such as tape saturation, speed and bias – but MPX Master has a few more tricks up its sleeve.

It's the reel deal!

The tape emulation plug-in from (Waves) is available now with the TDM version going for $300 MSRP and the Native version for $200 MSRP.
