We’ve teamed up with Waves Audio to show you how their NKS-ready effects can add subtle saturation and vintage vibes to your beats in just a few easy (and conveniently pre-mapped) steps. Watch the video to see how product expert Tim Cant uses Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter, J37 Tape, and Kramer Master Tape to distort and distress a finished beat in MASCHINE.
Want to try it out for yourself? Each Waves plugin is available as a week-long free trial, and you can grab the presets used in this video over on their site.
