The Reel ADT from Waves is a plug-in that emulates Abbey Road Studios’ pioneering process of ADT (Artificial Double Tracking). The effect was initially created at the studios in the 1960s to meet the needs of The Beatles. Using intuitive controls, the doubled signal can be advanced or pushed back to achieve lush-sounding delay and pitch variations. The plug-in includes both Native and SoundGrid licenses.

Each of the signals can be driven separately to add tape saturation. With an authentically modeled valve tape machine sound and emulation of wow and flutter, the plug-in can enhance any track with the impression of two separate takes, and provide results as close as possible to real double tracking. Other classic Abbey Road tape effects such as flanging and phasing can also be achieved with ease.
