Digital Tape Machine Sound For Your DAW

Mixland has announced the release of 3348 TAPE, which they describe as a groundbreaking emulation that brings the sound of the legendary 3348 digital tape machine into your DAW for the first time ever.

A spokesperson told us, "3348 TAPE takes everything we learned about emulating analog equipment and harmonic distortion while making the UNFAIRCHILD plugin, and brings that technology to the next level: this is an incredibly-flexible color box full of buttery harmonic goodness, with sounds that range from subtle enrichment to aggressive distortion. Whether you're adding warmth to your tracks or creating bold, experimental soundscapes, 3348 TAPE has you covered (in goo)."
