Is recording or music production on analog tape ancient history? The answer is no. Analog techniques remain popular among professionals, who mix down tracks or record just the drum track on analog tape to enliven digital sound with no distortion, “give,” or noise.

These techniques require expertise. But Analog Tape makes similar effects more accessible by precisely reproducing the sound of analog. I'm sure you will enjoy creating nostalgic tones.

　Sampling Reverb is a technology to reproduce the spatial character of the sound.　Various products using this technology are now available and have been well-received for their high sound quality.

　The sampling reverb process is based on mathematical expressions and all products work by basically the same principle. What creates differences? Differences result from how and which the data specific to each space (impulse response data) is collected and put into the device.

　Even in one space, there are many acoustics characteristics, The key to success for manufacturers is how well they understand which data represents which sound and how effectively they can put together those data to reproduce the characteristic of the spaces.

　Wah-wah was one of the most popular effects used on electric guitars in the 70s. As is widely known, this unique kind of distortion is hard to reproduce digitally. The Vintage Wah proudly presented by Yamaha Corporation is capable of reproducing the wah-wah sounds of the 70s, making you feel like a guitar hero from that era.

　When a sound is conveyed as an electric signal, the quality of the sound is altered, Therefore equalizers are used to restore the sound to their original quality. Although nowadays, they are used more often to process sounds than to restore them to their original quality.

　Equalizers have a long history. Among the many different stages of development, this Vintage Equalizer follows the circuit system of the transistor age, reproducing even the feel of the saturation output by a vintage analog equalizer. In the digital world of the Internet, this smooth effect is surely a technology you would want to try.

　VCA was originally a volume control module for a synthesizer; in short, a volume controller.

　This VCA Compressor is a digital version of an analog compressor using VCA/RMS level detection, a standard compressor widely used for VCA live spectral recording (SR) and music production.　Since the musical qualities are close to those of the standard VCA compressor, this software may strike you as familiar but new.

　This effect can be used for guitars, pianos, drums, and many other instruments. It will help you create the exact music you have in mind.

　Major circuit systems for musical dynamics include VCAs, FETs, and Opt-devices. This compressor uses an Opt-device system, and when added to a vocal, the voice is given a unique but smooth and natural texture. Because of this unique texture, it is widely used for many applications as a hidden ingredient to beautifully finalize the sound.

　Please compare the sound with and without this effect. I'm sure you would want to use this technology in various music scenes.
