Product Description

  • Tape Revisited Play The TCS-68 pays homage to one of the most popular multitrack cassette tape recorders introduced in 1990
  • just before digital solutions started to enter the consumer recording market. While the basic technology got outdated
  • its high-grade lo-fi sound characteristic is something that a lot of users looking for a more organic tone are missing in their productions these days. Record
Sending your tracks through the TCS-68 creates lovely sounding crunchiness refined by the inherent tape compression effects. Pushing the pre and tape sections works pure magic on percs
  • single drums and full sets
  • as well as synths and pads. Looking for creative recording techniques
  • this channel is just perfect for applying unique textures to different parts of a mix. Fast Forward The TCS-68 offers several sections which can be used in combination or individually for special tone shaping or effects. Use the preamp to create a straight forward sound
  • then apply some tape to glue things back together again. The 3-band EQ complements very nicely as toneshaper or compensation for tape bass bump
  • high frequency rolloff
  • or overstated preamp edginess.  Rewind The ultimate goal when creating the TCS-68 was to catch the original vibe and nostalgic sound quality
  • hence it is highly recommended for lo-fi experts
  • tone shapers
  • and all those who like to add some unconventional spices to their tracks. The emulation remains exceptionally true to the original hardware
  • so the results always sound convincing and real. Plus
  • it's so much fun and easy to use! Features Nostalgic Tribute: The TCS-68 emulates a popular multitrack cassette tape recorder from 1990
  • offering a high-grade lo-fi sound that many seek for a more organic tone. Creative Crunch: Tracks processed through the TCS-68 gain lovely crunchiness and inherent tape compression
  • enhancing percussions
  • drums
  • synths
  • and pads. Flexible Sections: Features multiple sections for standalone or combined use
  • including a preamp for straightforward sounds and a 3-band EQ for tone shaping and compensation. Authentic Sound: Captures the original vibe and sound quality of cassette tape recordings
  • making it ideal for lo-fi enthusiasts and creative tone shapers
