CLASP is tape \u0026gt; at digital speed. CLASP routes all audio to tape then lines it up with sample accuracy in the DAW in real time. CLASP integrates your tape machine into the modern DAW workflow, making the most of both platforms. All functionality of the DAW remains, but your computer will sound like your tape machine. You’ll spend more time recording, and no time waiting for transfers, Lynx boxes or SMPTE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The DAW controls the tape machine, and you don’t have to touch it once tape is loaded. DAW features like playlists and quickpunch are not compromised. Perhaps best of all, CLASP delivers what is technically impossible with a DAW alone: zero latency, real time analog monitoring. Better for singers and the groove.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Switch tape speeds to get different tones all within the same project—track drums at 15ips, bass at 7.5 and vocals at 30, for example. CLASP is easy on transports because it’s not chasing anything. Standard tape reels are used from top to tails which means the tape wears down much more slowly, lasting anywhere from multiple songs to multiple projects. Record as many simultaneous tracks as your tape machine and converters can accommodate.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCLASP consists of mastering-grade hardware and rock-solid control software\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog auto-router with zero-loss and zero latency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTape machine remote emulator—works with virtually any professional analog tape machine that has a remote connection. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster control plugin to coordinate delay compensation, tape track arming and tape transport. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Mac and PC, Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase, and DP (coming soon).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDraw a sonic line in the sand: between normal studios | and studios with tape machines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWith CLASP your tape machine will generate business again and cost less to operate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLASP encourages overdubs on tape.
