There are several.Reel TOO Real (R2R) Audio Plugin Suite'This plugin collection will transform any song mix and emulate the sound of the tape machine model you want to use. Choose from 24 track 2 inch multi-track tape machines to vintage 1950's vacuum tube tape machines, including two-track mastering Reel to Reel tape machines.The plugin software captures every detail. Frequency spectrum and complex harmonic distortion of world class tape machines are at your finger tips.'
VTM emulates both a 16-track 2-inch tape machine and a 1/2 inch stereo mastering deck. Not only that, you can also choose between the two most popular tape formulations. Different formulations have different properties and headroom, and ultimately will give you different sonic results.
-'IVGI can deliver very soft and subtle saturation, that feels at homeon the master buss. It is equally capable of very dense and dirtydistortion effects to spice up single tracks. IVGI's base sound is comparable to the DESK mode in the big brother.' -Nebula3 Free Bundle contains some tape saturation models.-And you can use Tube Amp to get a somewhat similar effect.'
Tube Amp is an audio effect AU and VST plugin that applies asymmetric tube triode overdrive usually found in single-tube microphone pre-amp boxes. The sound this plugin produces varies from a mild “warm” overdrive to a fuzzy distortion.Tube Amp also includes a -6 dB/oct low-pass filter that is built-in into plugin’s tube/valve modeling equation, and can be used to imitate a lower-quality tube triode.
Beside that, Tube Amp has a switchable output saturation stage which can be used to additionally overdrive the output signal.' -Here's how R2R and Nebula sound.

Analog tape has a smoothing effect and adds weight and glue to a mix – it turns the recording from a collection of individual tracks into a song, where everything is connected and works together.Tape, with its component-level and physical modeling of three different tape machines, gives you all the warm vintage cohesion you could want in one plug-in. Add a few premium level features, like the mastering grade high shelf filter, stability control, and wet/dry mix knob, and you've got a new secret sauce. There are many ways to use and abuse a tape machine, and many modern engineers have never had the pleasure of working with a real (reel to reel) analog unit. That's why, to get you started, Tape includes presets made by award winning engineers such as Joe Chiccarelli (Beck, U2, Strokes) and Howard Willing (Smashing Pumpkins, Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson).But there's no wrong answer.
Crank Tape to its extremes and you'll get sounds that wouldn't even be possible in most analog machines, at extra-slow speeds for example, or with insane wow and flutter. If you run Presonus Studio One, you can not only use Tape as a standard plug-in.
Adding Tape to your MixFX slot gives you Tape Multitrack. Tape Multitrack includes all the goodies of Tape, but in addition, you get selectable crosstalk between each individual track — and you can easily control the Tape Multitrack settings from a single interface.
The Tape and Tape Multitrack license is one and the same. This means that if you're not a Studio One user but at some future point decide to switch to that DAW, you will already have Tape Multitrack installed, licensed and ready to go. Left and right VU meters for level or Total Harmonic Distortion. Amount knob increases saturation. Three machine models (A, B, and C), each based on a different high-quality real world tape machine.
Five tape speed values, measured in inches per second (1 7/8, 3 3/4, 7 1/2, 15, and 30) each increasing in fidelity on the last. Dry/wet mix knob.
Stability control to introduce speed wobble. High frequency shelf offers mastering grade cutting or boosting. Crosstalk emulates bleed between channels characteristic of analog tape machines.
Increases glue and fatness. Tape noise can be switched on or off as required. Run and Stop buttons create the effect of the machine slowing to a stop, or rolling up to speed again. Input and output level faders give total control over gain staging.
System requirements. Mac OS X 10.12 or newer (older OS versions may work but are not tested). Windows 64-bit, versions 7, 8 or 10. Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 X2 or newer. Screen resolution 1280x800 or larger. 8 GB RAM or more is recommended, as well as at least 8 GB hard disk space for installation (individual plug-ins take less space, while sample libraries may require additional disk space.
