Eddie Kramer Master Tape Plug-In User Guide

A description of the sound of the Kramer Master Tape is that it is best ‘felt’ as a warm,
sweet and clear musical sound. Start there as your basis and then experiment with the
controls to discover all the additional sonic qualities available to you, and choose those
that best suit your tastes and your style of music.
In Practical Application
It is not possible to create a model with this level of detail and flexibility and at the same
time keep it
s resource d
emands low. Running Kramer Maste
r
Tape does require a fair
amount of system resources as you might expect. If you want to use the plugin on
individual tracks, please do so, as there are no ‘rules’ in our art form. But Kramer Master
Tape may perform best on sub-mixes of drums and percussion, strings, guitars, vocals
and anything that requires analogue ‘warmth and clarity.’ Also, don’t forget what the
plugin could contribute to digitally sampled instruments and digital synthesizers. Many
will find that across an entire mix and especially in mastering, Kramer Master Tape may
prove to be invaluable. The Kramer Master Tape plugin is the result of almost two years
of failures and triumphs, and contains the heart and soul of many contributors. Waves’
sincerest hope is that you will enjoy Kramer Master Tape, and that it will become an
invaluable component in your sonic toolkit.
Kramer Master Tape used in conjun
ction with the Kramer HLS and the Kramer PIE
finally completes the magic of the original
Kramer Olympic Studio recording chain.
