Plugin Boutique has announced a limited-time promotion on IK Multimedia’s Total Tapes 2026. The series of T-RackS plugins is on sale for $79.99 USD through the end of May, with the offer expiring May 31st, 2026.

The Total Tapes 2026 bundle emulates classic analog tape recording machines from the 1970s through the 1980s. Each plugin models the specific sonic traits of historical recorders, including tape saturation, frequency response, and mechanical artifacts like wow and flutter.

Music producers and audio engineers use these plugins to add analog warmth and cohesion to digital mixes within their DAWs.

This deal bundles eight emulations into one package at $79.99 USD for the promotional period.

The bundle includes:

  • Tape Machine 24: The MCI JH24 was first produced in 1980 and was a staple in studios across the US throughout the ‘80s. This completely transformerless, high performance op-amp-based design delivers a pristine, phase coherent and remarkably true-to-the-source audio performance.
  • Tape Machine 440: This machine became the standard for stereo mix-down since it offers a rounded, solid bass and a silky presence on highs and upper mids, leaving your mixes… finished! Pass your session through the 440, and hear your mix become a record!
  • Tape Machine 80: The A80 was produced from 1970 through 1988, and remained a studio staple throughout that time. In its various revisions, the A80 became an essential part of countless influential records, with a perfect blend between transparency and subtle harmonic enhancement.
  • Tape Machine 99: The Tape Machine 99 re-creates the Revox PR99 Mk II, a compact, rack-mount stereo recorder produced by Studer in the 1980s under their Revox brand. Engineered around a hybrid design that takes the best of discrete and op-amp topologies, it offers an un-hyped, elegant sound with an extremely smooth frequency response.
  • TASCAM Porta One: Able to run on batteries and with affordable cassette tapes, the PORTA ONE was literally the multi-track you could throw in a backpack, take anywhere and use to record. Now with the officially certified TASCAM PORTA ONE, you can tap into that free-spirited frame of mind and enjoy the sound that inspired some of history’s greatest songs.
  • TASCAM 388: The TASCAM 388 was a large format studio in one unit. It featured a standard mixer with full faders along with a tape machine section, which could perform 8-track multi-track recording. The sound of the 388 is described as “magic” by many musicians, becoming legendary over the years.
  • TEAC A-3340S: The TASCAM 388 remains the most sought-after tape recorder ever made by TEAC or TASCAM. You can easily spend $5,000 or more for a working unit today. You’ll find in this officially certified plug-in version, for a fraction of the cost, the original’s tone-tweaking controls and exactly the right sonic flavor to enhance your next musical production.
  • TEAC A-6100: The T-RackS TEAC A-6100 MKII puts all the controls from the original at your disposal, along with some additional features to help you create just the sound you’re looking for. You can calibrate the record and playback heads, or choose from 2 tape speeds and 4 tape formulas for a wide variety of tape-machine effects.
