Reel ADT is the only plugin that delivers the authentic tape delay-based Artifical Double Tracking effect created by Abbey Road Studios’ legendary technician Ken Townsend to meet the recording needs of John Lennon and the Beatles. Many modern doublers simply delay the audio compared to the original track in order to thicken the source.
But with ADT sometimes the doubled sound was ahead of the reference track and sometimes it lagged behind with constant fluctuation keeping the doubling effect richer and more interesting rhythmically. Reel ADT delivers the depth of this original effect.
With two modeled tape machines (source and double)—each delivering separate saturation wow & flutter pitch fluctuations and more—Reel ADT creates the impression of two truly distinct vocal tracks out of one vocal take. Doubling That Dances Around the Source With Abbey Road’s technique the doubled part could go ahead of the original source—or behind. The doubled part’s position could also fluctuate over time for effects ranging from natural to surprising.
Reel ADT accurately reproduces this time-shifting mechanism to thicken vocals in an authentic-sounding way or add lush movement to stereo synth patches.
