Reel Deal - Magnetic Tape Simulation Plugin

Add authentic analog tape warmth to your digital recordings.

What It Does

Reel Deal simulates the sound of vintage reel-to-reel tape machines. It adds warmth, saturation, and subtle character that makes digital recordings sound more natural and cohesive.

This effect is based on an advanced, physical simulation of magnetic tape properties, as a result of our original research.

Features

• Tape saturation with adjustable drive and character.
• Variable tape speeds (3.75 - 15 ips) for different tones.
• Input and output gain controls.
• VST3 + CLAP + AU formats.
• macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon), Windows, Linux.

Sound

• 15 ips: Bright and clean, minimal coloration.
• 7.5 ips: Classic warm tape sound.
• 3.75 ips: Dark and lo-fi.

Lower speeds sound darker. Higher speeds are brighter.

Stacks with other Warmth plugins

Reel Deal pairs well with other plugins in our lineup:

• Run it with Pale Horse Transparent Overdrive for tape-saturated drive tones.

• Use it with Keys for instant lo-fi piano.
