Reels by AudioThing is a vintage tape emulation plugin designed to deliver the warm, nostalgic character of classic reel-to-reel recorders. It adds authentic tape coloration—from gentle saturation and glue to gritty lo‑fi textures—while letting you dial in wow and flutter, hiss, and dropouts for convincing analog movement. A built-in tape stop effect and simple tape-style echo make it easy to create dramatic slowdowns, dubby repeats, and evocative, warbly ambience.
Whether you want subtle warmth on a mix bus, punch and cohesion on drums, or degraded, dreamy tones on synths, guitars, and vocals, Reels provides a fast, musical workflow. Its intuitive interface and curated presets help you get results quickly, and it integrates smoothly with major DAWs on macOS and Windows. Reels is a versatile choice for producers and sound designers seeking authentic tape vibe without the maintenance of hardware.
Reels is developed by AudioThing. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5.
