Just like real magnetic tape, lower Input levels will have a cleaner sound,
while higher levels result in more harmonic saturation and coloration.
Higher Input levels will also increase the output level from the plug-in. The Out-
put control can be lowered to compensate.
Tip:
Output
The VU Meter provides a visual representation of the
VU Meter
signal levels after the virtual tape. The
affects how "hot" the signal is.
Higher VU levels typically indicate more harmonic
saturation, coloration, and/or distortion. However, this will depend on the
other control values.
The plug-in operates at an internal level of –12 dBFS. Therefore a digital sig-
nal with a level of –12 dB below full scale digital (0 dBFS) at the plug-in input
will equate to 0 dB on the plug-in meters.
Secondary Controls
The Secondary Controls are exposed by clicking the "Studer A800" label or
the "OPEN" text above it. See

Click the "0" control label text to return to the Input value to 0.
Output acts as an outside gain control (like an external con-
sole fader) and adjusts the gain at the output of the plug-in.
The available range is –24 dB to +12 dB.
