Roundtrip's lil brother

Made For Each Other

Roundtrip has over a thousand different combinations of saturation and dynamics, but RT Mix sticks to one tape machine, one summing bus, and adds the ubiquitous sound of a Solid 4k mix bus set to the "now it's a record" settings, that you can blend in to taste.

Using RoundTrip on individual tracks, and then RT Mix on the mix bus to finish the last stage of the full path audio takes when recorded fully analog - summing through the console and printing to tape.

Thiccc tube summing

RC-6B

A faithful emulation of a classic 60's broadcast consolette built with heavy-duty transformers and a whole lot of flavour, guaranteed to spice up your record. With the added "drift" option, these tubes' harmonics modulate due to age, heat, and power source.

Amped ATR-102

A ubiquitous studio workhorse tape machine, custom-calibrated to my favorite settings. As the most used tape machine ever built, it is a go-to for simple, no-fuss mix glue. With "drift" engaged, expect some slight tolerance-modeled breathing in the harmonic series it creates.

Classic Mix Bus Compression In A Single Knob

4K Glue

An incredible hybrid of best-in-class Solid compressors complete with the classic auto-release and source-dependent ballistics. The settings are based on the most popular "Set and forget" settings for gorgeous mix cohesion on every mix, and have been tested at multiple different gain reduction levels to ensure maximum flexibility while still marrying your mix, subgroups or individual stems together. Comes with a blend knob, naturally.

Wow & Flutter

Tape modulation and flutter comes from capstan and pinch roller wear. Tape tension and bearing drag creates fluctuations as the tape sticks to heads and guides. These have been emulated with a one-knob, ultra simple control that gets exponentially more extreme as you turn it.

Classic Mix Bus Compression In A Single Knob

Drift

This makes RT Mix behave like an individual hardware unit rather than a perfect digital copy. Drift lets your plugin breathe: a slow, bounded wander around its historically accurate tolerances, nudging the harmonic balance over time, the way real analog gear warms up and settles and power conditioners introduce minute oscillations and imperfections into each recording. This completely avoids the "digital buildup" of identical EQ curves or harmonics and matches perfectly with RoundTrip's Gear Swap, which rolls a unique set of component values; every resistor, capacitor, and tube/transistor sits a few percent off its historically rated specs, based on the tolerances of the original hardware themselves.
