Where to get itIncluded with Cubase. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.steinberg.net
Magneto II simulates the saturation and compression of recording on analog tape machines. It offers frequency-selective tape saturation with independent control over low and high frequency ranges, dual-machine mode for layered tape effects, and high-frequency adjustment to shape the character of the saturated signal. The plugin lets you apply classic tape warmth and harmonic coloration across the frequency spectrum with surgical frequency targeting.
