One Collection. Three Completely Different Reasons to Put Tape on Everything.

Every great tape machine has an opinion, and no two of ours agree. Studio 15 runs two independently controlled channels with a full set of REC, REP, BIAS, and HF Trim per side, tuned toward a slightly more colored, workhorse character. Master 30 splits Record and Reproduce into their own stages with independent Manual/Preset locks per side, built for the kind of warmth that answers back when you push it. Reference Two adds a real three-way Input/Sync/Reproduce monitor path most machines never gave you, and stays precise and disciplined until you flip Uncalibrate and ask it not to be.

Studio 15 is the workhorse. Two independent channels, complete REC, REP, BIAS, and HF Trim controls on both sides, 7.5 and 15 IPS operation, selectable tape curves, and genuine modulated-delay wow and flutter. Warm, flexible, and prepared to stay at the studio until somebody finally fixes the bridge.

Master 30 is the muscle. Record and Reproduce operate as separate stages, each with its own Manual/Preset calibration lock. Keep one stage perfectly referenced while pushing the other by hand, then add per-channel Bias and Phase when the sensible version of the mix has stopped being interesting.

Reference Two is the gentleman. Impeccable manners, beautiful posture, and an Uncalibrate switch. Its Input, Sync, and Reproduce monitor paths give every channel three distinct routes through the machine. Run it at 30 IPS for precision, move to 15 IPS for warmth, then engage Auto-Level and drive it harder while your listening level stays put.

Together, they cover pristine transfer, subtle mastering color, warm mix-bus cohesion, textured tracking tones, asymmetrical channel treatment, and full-drive saturation. Choose the machine that fits the session, or spend an enjoyable afternoon trying all three on the snare drum and forgetting why you opened the project.

The Entire Collection

Six Channels. Six VUs. Thirty-One Presets. Twenty-Nine Bucks.

You receive the complete versions of Studio 15, Master 30, and Reference Two. Every control, every monitor path, every tape speed, every factory preset, and all six illuminated VU meters are included.

One license key activates the entire collection. Each plugin includes three simultaneous activations, so your studio machine, laptop, and emergency backup machine can all participate in the increasingly elaborate explanation of why the vocal now sounds fantastic.

Purchased separately, the three machines total $87. During the introductory release, the complete collection is $29. That works out to less than ten dollars per machine, which is an extraordinary value and a fairly clear indication that nobody allowed accounting into the final meeting.

Studio 15

The Workhorse. Shows Up Early. Stays Past Midnight.

Studio 15 gives both channels their own REC, REP, BIAS, HF Trim, tape curve, and Function controls. Drive and shape each side independently, or disengage one channel's tape path while the other keeps rolling.

Global Input, Sync, and Repro monitoring follows the structure of a professional deck. Switch the transport between 7.5 and 15 IPS, select small or large reel behavior, and let genuine modulated-delay wow and flutter bring subtle movement into the signal.

It is warm, flexible, slightly weathered around the edges, and ready for another take.

Master 30

The Muscle. Four Tape Stages and Strong Opinions.

Master 30 divides both channels into separate Record and Reproduce stages. Each stage gets its own Manual/Preset switch, allowing any part of the machine to remain locked at its calibrated reference while the rest comes under direct control.

Push Record for saturation, density, and weight. Use Reproduce to manage the returning level. Shape each channel with its own Bias and Phase controls, then hit Calibration when your excellent adventure through gain staging has reached its natural conclusion.

Master 30 can be warm, controlled, and dignified. It can also make a drum bus sound like it has recently acquired legal representation.

Reference Two

The Gentleman. Impeccable Manners. An Uncalibrate Switch.

Reference Two begins from a clean, dependable calibration and gives each channel three distinct monitor paths. Input delivers the direct signal. Sync brings in the focused, textured character of the record-head path. Reproduce opens the complete tape chain with its full response and weight.

Switch between 15 and 30 IPS for warmth or precision. Engage Auto-Level to keep output steady while increasing Record drive. Use Link when both channels should move together, or leave them independent when symmetry has done quite enough for one day.

Leave Uncalibrate off for polished, repeatable operation. Switch it on and Record and Reproduce become active together. The gentleman removes his jacket. Things progress rapidly.

Three Machines, One Decision

Pick the Right Tape Machine. Then Change Your Mind Instantly.

Some mixes need the flexible, colored workhorse character of Studio 15. Some need the independent Record and Reproduce stages of Master 30. Others need Reference Two sitting quietly across the master bus, adding exactly enough tape to make everyone believe the mix was always that good.

The Master Transport Collection puts all three inside the same session. No choosing one character forever. No subscription. No reels to align. No demagnetizer hiding in a drawer beside eighteen cables that apparently connect to nothing.

Just three serious tape machines, ready whenever the music asks for one.

Introductory price: $29. Regular collection price: $59.
