Time Machine

Authentic Sound Filters from the 50s, 60s, 70s & 80s

The Time Machine plugin gives you access to four unique sound "filters" that recreate the iconic tones of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s—at the click of a button. Each era is crafted with a tailored combination of filtering, saturation, and compression, along with recorded Lo-Fi noise samples from each time period.
