Endless Analog Machine Matrix

The Machine Matrix is the latest development of Endless Analog’s DAW-tape hybrid recording system.

Machine Matrix allows additional tape decks to be used with the system, during both tracking and overdubbing. Up to three tape decks can be connected through the Machine Matrix into a Clasp system, providing switch control and audio routing through a mastering grade audio path with the click of a mouse.

For example, record bass on a 2-inch tape deck and then click to switch everything over to a half-inch tape deck for vocal overdubs. Then click to a quarter-inch tape deck for guitar overdubs. The system supports switching between three 24-track machines by adding additional channels with the Machine Matrix I-O – any combination of tape decks can be used.
