Manufacturer's Description from Waves

Developed in association with Eddie Kramer, Tape, Tubes & Transistors features three meticulously-modeled vintage plugins: Kramer Master Tape, HLS Channel, and PIE Compressor. Together, they recreate Eddie’s golden audio chain, which he used to record musical icons like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles. Now, the legendary sound of London's Olympic Studios can be yours—with Tape, Tubes & Transistors.

Kramer Master Tape Plugin

Developed in association with Eddie Kramer, the Kramer Master Tape plugin is modeled on a rare vintage 1/4" reel-to-reel machine. With adjustable tape speed, bias, flux, wow & flutter, and noise parameters, the Kramer Master Tape provides comprehensive control over the contours of your sound. And to top it off, we’ve added a flexible slap & feedback delay, ideal for rock, dance, dub, you name it. For recording, mixing, mastering, and more, bring the richness and warmth of real tape saturation to your DAW with the Kramer Master Tape plugin. It’s the reel deal.

PIE Compressor Plugin

Developed in association with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, the PIE Compressor was precision-modeled on a vintage Pye compressor like the ones he used in historic sessions at London’s acclaimed Olympic Studios. A mainstay in esteemed British studios throughout the classic rock era, the original Pye processors are considered by many to be among of the best buss compressors of all time. The Waves PIE plugin features a meticulously modeled VU meter with superfast refresh rates that recreates the accuracy, sensitivity, and ballistic behavior of a physical analog meter.

HLS Channel Strip EQ Plugin

Developed in association with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, the HLS Channel was meticulously modeled on a Helios mixing console just like the one he used in historic sessions at London’s acclaimed Olympic Studios. (In fact, we actually managed to get our hands on the Helios from the Rolling Stones mobile truck, which was used on a slew of classic recordings during the early ‘70s.) In addition to modeling the Helios EQs with their sweet saturation, high-end presence, and fat low-frequency boost, we even modeled the unique behavior, coloration, and drive of the console’s preamps. To top it all off, the HLS Channelfeatures a precision-modeled VU meter that recreates the sensitivity, ballistic behavior, look and feel of the original.

Kramer Master Tape Plugin

SPEED selects the simulated tape speed.
MONITOR selects the monitoring mode.
BIAS controls the level of the ultrasonic bias signal.
VU METER displays input or output level.
VU CALIBRATION controls the VU meter headroom calibration.
DELAY TIME controls the time of the tape delay effect, with settings for 7.5 ips (266 milliseconds) and 15 ips (133 ms).
DELAY TYPE toggles between delay modes.
FEEDBACK controls the amount of the delayed output signal.
LOWPASS controls the LP cutoff frequency on the delay path.
RECORD LEVEL controls the input level.
LINK I/O links Record and Playback Levels controls.
PLAYBACK LEVEL controls the total signal output level.
FLUX controls the level of simulated magnetic radiation emitted from the record head.
WOW & FLUTTER controls the speed and gain modulations and fluctuations.
NOISE controls the level of added modeled noise but not noise modulations and signal additive noise.

PIE Compressor Plugin

Threshold sets the gain reference point beyond which compression begins.
Ratio controls the amount of gain reduction for signal above the threshold.
Decay Time (Release Time) sets the recovery speed of the gain attenuation when the input drops below the threshold.
Output sets the output level.
Meter Select toggles between Input, Output, and Gain Reduction metering.
Analog controls analog characteristics caused by noise floor and hum, based on the power supplies of the original units.
VU Meter displays input or output level in dBVU.
Clip LED lights up when levels exceed 0 dBFS.

HLS Channel Strip EQ Plugin

Source Select toggles between Mic and Line levels.
Preamp determines the amount of preamp coloration.
High Frequency Gain controls high shelf gain at 10 kHz.
Mid Gain sets the amount of gain applied to the midrange bell filter.
Mid Frequency selects frequency for the midrange bell filter.
Mid Mode selects between boost (PK) and cut (TR).
Low Band Freq/Cut is used to select the boost frequency, or the amount of attenuation of the 50 Hz low shelf.
Low Band Boost sets the amount of boost (in dB) for the selected frequency.
EQ Cut turns the EQ on (in) and off (cut), while maintaining the analog and preamp characteristics.
Analog controls turns the analog noise and hum modeling on and off, and sets the pitch of the hum to match either European or American currents.
Noise pads the modeled noise and hum by 20 dB.
Meter toggles the meter display between input and output monitoring.
Clip LED lights up when levels exceed 0 dBFS.
VU Meter displays input or output level in dBVU.
VU Calibrate controls the VU meter headroom calibration.
Trim displays the maximum peak level of the output signal and its distance from 0 dBFS.
Input controls the input level.
Output controls the output level.
