The T-RackS Tape Machine 440 captures the essence of the iconic Ampex 440 tape machine, a staple in professional studios since the late 1960s. Renowned for its warm and soulful character, this tape machine delivers a distinctive analog warmth that enriches mixes and masters. Its sound has become synonymous with classic recordings, offering a rich tonal palette that enhances the musicality of any track.

Designed to function both as a standalone application within the T-RackS CS environment and as a plugin, it integrates seamlessly into various digital audio workstations. The plugin employs high-quality oversampling and precise digital processing to faithfully emulate the original hardware’s analog characteristics. This results in a natural, transparent sound that preserves the integrity of your audio while adding a subtle, pleasing coloration.

Supporting sample rates up to 192 kHz and full latency compensation, the Tape Machine 440 is built using IK Multimedia’s proprietary DSM and SCC technologies, ensuring an accurate digital representation of the vintage tape hardware. Its compatibility with 64-bit systems and applications guarantees smooth performance across modern production setups. This combination of authentic sound and advanced digital technology makes it an essential tool for mixing and mastering professionals seeking that classic tape warmth.
