The ADT method used the oscillator to provide the vari-speed which lent the effect of human touch. Pictured here is the Levell TG-150m Oscillator which now sits pride of place in Abbey Road Technical Engineer Lester Smith’s office. The introduction of ADT was a milestone in the history of sound recording, and the technique was used heavily on many recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios. By having the capstan motor of the BTR on frequency control, controlled by the oscillator, the number of milliseconds between the two voices was totally controllable but normally between 8 and 12 milliseconds. The beauty of ADT was that you could move the second voice either before or after the original voice. This again worked without any modifications. It worked perfectly and he also considered that by putting one of the two outputs through a 180 degree phase shift, wobbling the oscillator dial, then phasing could be achieved.

However by running the BTR on frequency control fed from a Crystal Oscillator it should give perfect double tracking with the time differential controlled by hand. He realised that by taking the sync output from the Studer and putting it into the record of an EMI BTR 2 mono machine, then the two replay outputs would be fairly close time wise if it was to run at 30 ips. The Waves/Abbey Road Reel ADT plugin has won the 2015 Electronic Musician Editors Choice Award, recognizing the best, most groundbreaking production. These were about one and a half inches apart. The first was the synchronous output from the record head and the second was from the replay head itself. Reel ADT is available to purchase for the introductory price of $99 USD for Native (regular $200 USD) / $300 USD for Soundgrid.To solve the problem, Townsend made use of the fact that the Studer four track machine had two replay outputs on each track. Manual and automatic control MIDI-assignable manual control for the most authentic user experience possible.Different tape sounds for source and ADT signals.

For the first time ever, a full exact recall automation of the ADT effect.

Developed in association with Abbey Road Studios.

You can also drive each of the signals separately to add beautiful tape saturations. Using its intuitive controls, you can advance or push back the doubled signal to achieve genuine, lush-sounding delay and pitch variations. The effect that became an integral part of Abbey Road’s signature sound was initially created at the famed studios in the 1960s to meet the needs of some very special clients: The Beatles.Īll the character, depth and panoramic sound of this inimitable classic effect can now be created digitally, simply and for real: Reel ADT. Reel ADT puts the magic of that era in your hands within seconds. Waves/Abbey Road Reel ADT is the first plugin to successfully emulate Abbey Road Studios’ pioneering process of Artificial Double Tracking.
