Analog Comes Alive in a Digital World

Sweet Analog Outboard “Among the bright new ideas at AES was CLASP (Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor). The brainchild of Nashville producer/engineer Chris Estes, CLASP turns your 2-inch analog deck into a tape-flavored “plug-in” for your DAW. The system consists of a hardware interface, a VST plug-in (one for every channel), and a sync cable between the box and your recorder. Just run the session from your DAW as usual and CLASP performs real-time, synched transfers from the repro head of your deck. As the entire length of a reel of tape is used, there’s no waiting for rewind while quickly shuttling between session markers in your DAW.” Click here for the Mix Magazine Online Link
