Magnetic II – How Does It Work?
“Magnetic II” features pure analog reel-to-reel tape speeds, tape/tube saturation and tape color effects, as well as a dedicated vintage style EQ and a built in Boost mastering section. The result is a creamy, warm sound that can only be achieved by Magnetic II.
Features
- Reel Speed – controls the speed of the virtual tape machine. Higher speeds give you more studio-quality fidelity; lower speeds sound more like a cassette tape. The DASH setting gives you the highest-fidelity of digital audio tape predominately used in the 80’s and 90’s.
- Saturation – gives different levels of tube and/or tape saturation effects. Recreates the warmth and character of classic tube circuitry and analog tape saturation.
- Tape Color – provides the highly sought-after sound of Natural, Vintage and Modern Tape Compression.
- Lows – controls the amount of low frequency equalization. Select the boost/cut frequency range with the Body, Warm, and Lush Settings.
- Highs – control the amount of high frequency equalization. Select the boost/cut frequency range with the Detail, Focus and Brilliance Settings.
- Boost – switches on/off the built-in Mastering Limiter section. This incorporates multiple stages of limiting and a look-ahead brickwall limiter to deliver first-class peak reduction. Adjust the Gain and Ceiling Knobs to achieve High-Resolution Limiting.
- Gain – sets the threshold for the incoming signal. Higher settings result in a louder sound.
- Ceiling – sets the brickwall output level so that it limits all peaks above the number it is set to. VU METER shows the amount of limiting taken place when the Boost circuit is engaged.
- Power – bypasses the entire unit.
- Real Tape Model Mode: to engage the new Real Tape Model mode, simply turn the Reel Speed knob between 1 and 30 and it will activate the selector buttons on the left.
- Wow & Flutter Knob: turning the Reel Speed knob between 1 and 30 also activates the Wow & Flutter knob which gives you the irregularities in the playback speed of analog recordings.
- Magnetic Tape Color: when the Reel Speed knob is set to DASH, this engages the original Magnetic Tape-Color sound. Any other Reel Speed Knob setting allows you to select between different Tape Model modes, including Magnetic.
When used on the master bus, “Magnetic II” can warm your entire mix and ‘boost’ it up to broadcast level. It’s just like having a 30+ year old reel-to-reel tape machine at your fingertips, without all the maintenance costs!

Dawoud – :
This is a very good Plugin. I have several tape simulators and I like this one the most so far. It’s easy to operate and gives the music that “Old School” warmth.
Gernot – :
The Nomad Magnetic II is an older plugin – but still a very good tube tape simulator. Especially on drums or when you have “duller”, less high frequency material, it can blow life into a track. As a saturator is is dirtier and more brute force than most of its more “civilized” siblings. If you are after this – it`s an excellent choice!
John – :
This is quite nice for mastering or putting on a single instrument. Variety of pre-sets offers a lot of choices to start with. Works as described and I’d recommend trying it especially if on sale.
Paul – :
I have a few tape emulators but this one feels more intuitive and adaptable to work with than my others.
I use them mainly for softening a hard digital tone and found on my first try outs it worked better than eq, compressor or soothing software.
I’ve only just bought this but I think it may become a regular in my set up.
Gary – :
Fantastic tape emulation plugin. Lots of options and flexibility with it, just be careful not to overdo the saturation! 😉
Donald – :
Very easy to use and the presets sound good. A nice starting point. Can use and Mix and Master. It has many saturation options. Most of all work fine.
Sheldon – :
I have a few Tape plugins, but Magnetic II is different from the others. The sound is a bit more aggressive and in-your-face, and it sounds great on drums. A good addition to my toolbox during mixing and mastering.
William – :
This really is an excellent tool. Gives loads of options for all kind of genres and instruments. Some really usable presets to build on and use straight out of the box. Get it!
Carlos – :
The sound is better than espected. I have some tape plugins but Magnetic II is way better.
I tested Magnetic II in vocals and instrumental buses and the sound improved a lot.
Ben – :
Does what you expect plus more. It never ceases to amaze me how it pushes my sound to the next level.
Krzysztof – :
Very cool tape saturation plugin. I really recommend. The price is extremely low. I use different tape saturation plugins, this plug-in has found its way into the repertoire of those that I will definitely use.
Julian – :
sounds pretty good. nice to switch the single modules on and off. it’s a shame there is no output gain link/compensation
Alex – :
Nice collection of tape models. Easy to install. Available as VST and VST 3. Good sound quality. Easy to use.
Andrew – :
I found this plugins very easy to use, but still retaining a deep feature set. More importantly, it sounds great.
Flavio – :
Great Tape Machine at an incredible price. Sounds amazing on strings, providing a natural vintage warmth.
Diogo – :
Despite being and old VST, it still has its uses. Not the cleanest tape emulation out there, but if you need/want a dirtier tape saturation, it delivers! And, for this price, it’s a no-brainer.
Chris – :
Sweet tape saturation effect granted. Price more than satisfying. Another happy buy from vstbuzz – thanks guys!
OLEG – :
A product with good functionality and easy to use. A large number of tape emulations with the ability to adjust saturation parameters, which allows you to customize the sound for different projects. And, of course, a relatively low cost compared to competitors with excellent quality.
