CLASP is tape \u0026gt; at digital speed. CLASP routes all audio to tape then lines it up with sample accuracy in the DAW in real time. CLASP integrates your tape machine into the modern DAW workflow, making the most of both platforms. All functionality of the DAW remains, but your computer will sound like your tape machine. You’ll spend more time recording, and no time waiting for transfers, Lynx boxes or SMPTE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The DAW controls the tape machine, and you don’t have to touch it once tape is loaded. DAW features like playlists and quickpunch are not compromised. Perhaps best of all, CLASP delivers what is technically impossible with a DAW alone: zero latency, real time analog monitoring. Better for singers and the groove.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Switch tape speeds to get different tones all within the same project—track drums at 15ips, bass at 7.5 and vocals at 30, for example. CLASP is easy on transports because it’s not chasing anything. Standard tape reels are used from top to tails which means the tape wears down much more slowly, lasting anywhere from multiple songs to multiple projects. Record as many simultaneous tracks as your tape machine and converters can accommodate.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCLASP consists of mastering-grade hardware and rock-solid control software\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog auto-router with zero-loss and zero latency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTape machine remote emulator—works with virtually any professional analog tape machine that has a remote connection. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster control plugin to coordinate delay compensation, tape track arming and tape transport. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Mac and PC, Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase, and DP (coming soon).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDraw a sonic line in the sand: between normal studios | and studios with tape machines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWith CLASP your tape machine will generate business again and cost less to operate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLASP encourages overdubs on tape.

This takes place in the power supply, transport and audio boards. Roughly 500 solder points and 80 IC chips are reworked, re-soldered or cleaned... and that’s on the two track machines.

All head adjustments are made (heads are not re-lapped unless needed) and all audio channels are aligned at all speeds. Certain capacitors get replaced, like the capacitor that controls the accuracy of the counter. I do not recap the audio cards unless they don’t meet spec. I strive to have a complete restoration, yet meet an affordable price point. For instance, a total audio recap and head re-lap on every machine would increase the price drastically and is rarely actually needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all of that I burn them in by using them in my all-analog studio called \"Welcome To 1979\" to make sure no other issues pop up before they go out the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI should also mention that every machine comes with a six-month warranty!

Typically the heads are the best part of the machines we select to become Mara Machines. If the heads are bad, it’s an indication of the condition of the rest of the machine. Heads, like tires, have a wear indicator so I can easily judge whether a machine is worthy of refurbishing. I’ve had my own 2” machine running full-time in my studio for three years - a machine that’s been running full-time from the early 80s to the mid 90s - and I've have had no reason or inclination to re-lap the heads.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChris Mara | Mara Machines\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #d89126;\"\u003ePlease note: \u003c\/strong\u003eThese are authentic vintage tape machines which are tediously restored on a 'per order' basis.

The Mutator is a stereo analogue effects  unit based on technology developed for synthesis in the late sixties.

You HAVE heard this machine before - it was the workhorse machine for studios all over the United States for all of the 1980s. These machines record at both 15 \u0026amp; 30 IPS , and have separate controls for both speeds, so you can toggle between speeds at the flip of a switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003ePer Chris Mara, regarding the restoration process:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\"I achieve the same level of restoration for each machine. I basically tear the machines completely down to the frame, and re-assemble as I re-solder the Molex connectors and other stress points on the machine. This takes place in the power supply, transport and audio boards. Roughly 500 solder points and 80 IC chips are reworked, re-soldered or cleaned... and that’s on the two track machines. The total number of solder points and connectors multiplies quickly as tracks are added.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll of this happens before I even turn the machine on. I re-solder everything to help insure that future problems are headed off at the pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAfter that, every transport adjustment is made - lifters, brakes, tensions, etc., then on to the audio. All head adjustments are made (heads are not re-lapped unless needed) and all audio channels are aligned at all speeds. Certain capacitors get replaced, like the capacitor that controls the accuracy of the counter. I do not recap the audio cards unless they don’t meet spec. I strive to have a complete restoration, yet meet an affordable price point. For instance, a total audio recap and head re-lap on every machine would increase the price drastically and is rarely actually needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all of that I burn them in by using them in my all-analog studio called \"Welcome To 1979\" to make sure no other issues pop up before they go out the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eI should also mention that every machine comes with a six-month warranty! The beauty about the MCI decks is that they are very, very modular. Each channel is broken up into separate cards to handle the different tasks of the channel. If a problem is to occur, we can diagnose it together by swapping cards and the problematic card can be shipped to me for repair or replacement. The same goes for the transport and power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eRegarding the heads:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThese machines were built to run tape across the heads 10 hours a day for years. Typically the heads are the best part of the machines we select to become Mara Machines. If the heads are bad, it’s an indication of the condition of the rest of the machine. Heads, like tires, have a wear indicator so I can easily judge whether a machine is worthy of refurbishing. I’ve had my own 2” machine running full-time in my studio for three years - a machine that’s been running full-time from the early 80s to the mid 90s - and I've have had no reason or inclination to re-lap the heads.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mara Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450406465639,"sku":"116700","price":8950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_116700_1_a0bda6f0-4718-49a1-8af4-1525e69593ce.jpg?v=1787092936"},{"product_id":"mara-machines-jh110-preview-machine","title":"Mara Machines JH110 Preview Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMara Machines JH110 Preview Machine\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed for vinyl mastering with custom delay times available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mara Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450524266599,"sku":"131627","price":12500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/mara-jh110-preview_131627_1_ce88d071-ca9d-4977-8ac5-2b9f9129ffab.jpg?v=1787093411"},{"product_id":"mara-machines-mci-jh24-2-8-track-tape-machine","title":"Mara Machines MCI JH24 2\" 8-Track Tape Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMara Machines MCI JH24 2” 8-Track Tape Machine\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the ultimate analog format! 8 tracks on 2″ tape width – each track is the same width as a track on a 1\/2″ 2-Track machine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mara Machines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450524299367,"sku":"131625","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/mara-mci-jh24-2-8-track_131625_1_4c2b9c8d-e4fe-4d51-a6bc-9a044c0fddba.jpg?v=1787093411"},{"product_id":"mara-machines-jh110-1-2-track-tape-machine","title":"Mara Machines JH110 1\" 2-Track Tape Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eA newer offering from Mara Machines!
