REMEMBER THE FOUR TRACK TAPE MACHINES?

When I first started recording my music I used a 4 track tape (which i've still got, I think). I remember as a teenager recording a guitar, keyboard & vocals (we are talking in the 90s now). You were kinda limited to 4 tracks. Then once finished your song bouncing it down to 2 track. You would have to use cassettes to record onto.

These days we mainly use a computer (I know that some people still record using maybe a four track or 12 track recorder etc. Thats fine). 

TASCAM are celebrating there 50th Anniversary. IK MULTIMEDIA have bought out 4 emulations of TASCAMS classic tape machines.

  • TEAC A 6100 MK II- Add Tape warmth to your master buss etc
  • TEAC A 3340S- Tape recorder
  • TASCAM 388- Tape machine & mixing console 
  • TASCAM PORTA ONE- The popular tape recorder 
I think tape machine plugin seem popular these days. If you are looking to recreate that tape machine effect then these plugins could be worth looking at 

Until next time

CUBASE & LOGIC PRO X- BYPASS ALL PLUGINS!

A few weeks ago someone posted in Facebook group about how to Bypass ALL plugins in Cubase 8.5. (As some of you may know i use Cubase 8.5 in the main studio). It's a lot quicker than turning off each individual plugin. Here's how to do this: CUBASE- Go to File  Key Commands  Mixer (Section) Bypass Inserts Type in box a key (e.g. B etc) Assign OK When you press that key all plugins should be bypassed on the mixer LOGIC PRO X- As far as i know at the moment you cannot just press one button/ key & turn all the plugins off simultaneously. You can row by row.  Here's a quick video tutorial : Hope this helps Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services) Youtube Instagram Soundbetter
