That is what service technicians used to do, and it is what the Service Panel in Satin is for. Imagine opening up a tape machine, peeking “under the hood” and tinkering with the parts. Delay and flange immediately jumped to mind. Delay and flangeĪfter developing the components for a tape machine toolkit, our minds turned other popular tape-based machines. The perfect final sheen for your mixdown, or “glue” multiple drum tracks together, decode old NR-encoded cassette tape, or misuse Satin for extreme effects. For maximum flexibility in sound shaping, Satin is a toolkit of alternative parts, not an emulation of a single machine. Satin models individual components and lets them interact in the same way. Each contributes in one way or another-enhancing, reducing, combining-to generate the final sound. That tape sound depends on interaction between the various parts of a tape machine. Bringing these coveted characteristics of magnetic tape into the digital realm, in unprecedented quality-this is what Satin is all about. A world of non-linear behaviours, distortion, saturation and much more arises during tape recording and playback. So musicians, producers and audio engineers have turned to traditional analogue tools to bring some life back into overly clinical recordings. Despite all the advantages, however, digital audio can easily sound too clean and impersonal. It offers pristine sound and comfortable editing at a fraction of the cost of multitrack tape. Once reserved for major studios, digital recording has become widespread. Adjustable tape speed from 1.87 to 30ips.


5 circuit models for recording and reproduction EQs.Service panel: Controls for hiss, wow and flutter, bias, head gap, azimuth, saturation, high frequency compression and more.5 popular noise reduction encoder / decoder models.Control up to 8 instances of Satin at once using the Group panel.Includes historical developments in tape technology.All the good (saturation, transient smoothing, compression) as well as the bad (noise modulation, flutter, hiss) qualities are under your control. Satin puts the legacy of tape recording in your hands: from top-of-the-line multi-track consoles to humble cassette decks.
