Imagine experiencing Analog tape recording as easy, effortless, & endless. For the first time in history, Endless Analog has developed and created an exciting new product that revolutionizes analog tape recording by simplifying the process to the touch of a button. No more time code, transfers, buying multiple expensive reels of tape, or worrying about storage and archiving. Now you can have the warm and expressive sound of real analog tape combined with the speed and editing capabilities of your DAW.
The Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor or “CLASP” is an electro-mechanical-software controlled analog audio signal processor system, which consists of hardware, firmware, and software plug-ins that work with your pre-existing Digital Audio Workstation and Analog Tape Machine. The primary design purpose of CLASP is to give recording engineers and music producers a true analog front end recording solution employing all the sonic character and benefits of real ( not simulated ) analog tape sound while simultaneously using any “DAW” such as Pro Tools or Nuendo maintaining all the speed, flexibility and editing capabilities we have all become dependent upon. CLASP provides up to 72 simultaneous channels of recording and three CLASP hardware interfaces may be used simultaneously to synchronize three analog recorders. CLASP introduces a pure direct signal path not adding coloration to your signal other than the warm sound of your analog multi track tape recorder.
With CLASP, for the first time ever, you have a system that provides Analog Tape Integration with no more time code , no more waiting / cueing up the tape transport, and no more waiting for tape transfers. CLASP gives you a incredibly fast and seamless system where all recording and tape transfers are done in real time, effortlessly with speed and ease, saving thousands of dollars in time.
