Description

ToneBoosters ReelBus is a top-quality, authentic, versatile and accurate magnetic tape simulation AUv3 / IAA plug-in bringing warmth and excitement of tape to your iOS or iPadOS device!

Instant gratification from 80s compact cassette sound to professional 30 IPS studio recorder simulation. Sweeten your mix with a touch of tape hysteresis, saturation and compression. Create that 'Boards of Canada' sound by adding a tad of wow-and-flutter. Top it up with tape flanging, echo and tape start/stop effects.

The ToneBoosters ReelBus app captures the microphone (or external sound card) input and processes the signals in real time. To use it as a plug-in, use an AUv3-compatible host app such as Steinberg Cubasis, Apple Garageband, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio, Auria, AUM, or others. ToneBoosters ReelBus will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins.

Key features:

- The same professional sound as the acclaimed desktop version
- Wide variety of tape and saturation modes available
- Saturation, hysteresis, wow and flutter, tape hiss, asperity noise controls
- Tape speed and amount controls
- Unique drive EQ to drive certain frequencies harder into the tape model
- Tape wear model for worn-out tape simulation
- Tape flanger and dual tape echo modules, with beat sync functionality
- Tape start and tape stop effect modules
- Oversampling and anti-aliasing filters for top-quality output
- Input and output VU meters showing peak and RMS levels simultaneously
- Master Bus mode with analog VU meters and macro controls to get great results efficiently
- Undo/redo, and A/B comparison
- Color themes for the user interface
- Max screen support in Garageband
- Legacy Inter-App Audio (IAA) support
- Optimised for iPad and compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch

What you should know:
- Inter-App Audio (IAA) can only use one instance of this app simultaneously. We recommend to use an AUv3 host to use multiple instances.
- Licenses acquired for this platform are not compatible with other platforms.
- Audio Unit (AUv3) extensions require an iPad mini 2, iPad 4 or later models.

The tone I’ve been looking for

There are only a few tape effects available on this platform but so far only this one offers what I need. Excellent sounds and so many options to choose from. Well designed UI and so versatile. ToneBoosters have really designed some high quality effects and at the price offered they are an absolute no-brainer. I’d have paid twice the price for this effect. Well done TB. I’m off to buy the EQ now.

The Best Tape Emu in iOS

ReelBus can nail tape saturation, compression, and the BOC/LoFi wobble better than just about anything else. (Most other “tape” sims in iOS only give you a static wow/LFO in place of random instability.). It’s also great for general tone polishing and master bus “glue”, especially with the SSL style compressor in Auria Pro.

This program is so good that it converted me to using it in Reaper on desktop as well. 5 stars, no question.

ToneBoosters can do no wrong.

These plugins are the real deal. This one in particular can be as subtle or drastic as you want it. And the added tape delay and stop effects are really lovely as well!
