Waves Audio Kramer Master Tape vs. Reel to Reel Analog Tape – A Shootout!

Can the Kramer Master Tape plugin effectively model a tape deck? Watch as I demo and compare it to a real analog tape recording!

Follow-on to the “Analog Tape Recording vs. Direct to Digital Shootout” video (http://youtu.be/D2quieLxCE0), in which I compare identical digital and analog tape recordings. In this episode, I demo the Waves Kramer Master Tape plugin, using it to see if I can tweak the same digital recording and make it sound as close to the corresponding tape recording as possible. I also demo the V-Comp Vintage Compressor plugin.

Watch, listen and see what you think!
