[VCM] Vintage Open Deck
Vintage Open Deck emulates the analog circuitry and tape characteristics of a legendary open reel
tape recorder.
This plug-in consists of a recording deck and a reproduction deck, and there are four variations
available for each.
Vintage Open Deck is a stereo effect. When it is added to a mono rack, only the left channel of the
plug-in is used.
Selecting a Deck
The pop-up menus at the top of the plug-in panel allow you to specify the type of recording tape deck
or reproduction tape deck to use. You can use the switch between the pop-up menus to select the
source of the signal to monitor with the deck’s peak and VU meters.
Recording Deck Controls
The recording deck controls are on the left side of the plug-in.
RECORD
Adjusts the input level of the recording deck. Increasing the input level will increase the tape
compression, narrowing the dynamic range and distorting the sound.
AUTO MAKEUP
When this is on, the [REPRODUCE] control settings are set to match the [RECORD] controls.
This ensures that the overall output level is the same when you increase the input level of the
recording deck. Therefore, you can control the distortion level without changing the output
level.
