TB ReelBus User Reviews

Top reviews

Superb and incredible

This is a must have plugin in your toolkit. I use this on every single track, on busses and on the master buss. It just makes your sound better, warmer and sweeter. You won’t regret it. Just get it.

Versatile

I’ve used TB ReelBus for several years and continue to find new use for what it will do, over and above the obvious of adding controllable warmth and character to a mix. Treating it as a full-blown effect in its own right offers loads of surprises, I’ve used it live to treat and mangle guitars for instance. And it’s totally reliable, I’ve never had any issues with it. Very highly recommended.

I just want to listen to my digital music in substandard quality

I like the Trouble preset with hiss turned off

Ran one render through it and i’m in love

This app is absolutely beautiful, i’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. I had found a competing app and let’s just say I wasn’t too happy with the results, then I found this one and it blew me away. I’ve only ran one render through it so far and the audio quality is just mint.

As another reviewer mentioned, other apps are definitely inferior to this one, and it’s lucky I could discard the offending app and request a refund. If you’re after a tape app, this is the one you want right here. Amazing for the price!

Excellent

A lot of uses for gritting up your sound and taking off digital edges

The Best Tape Emu in iOS

ReelBus can nail tape saturation, compression, and the BOC/LoFi wobble better than just about anything else. (Most other “tape” sims in iOS only give you a static wow/LFO in place of random instability.). It’s also great for general tone polishing and master bus “glue”, especially with the SSL style compressor in Auria Pro.

This program is so good that it converted me to using it in Reaper on desktop as well. 5 stars, no question.

Extraordinary

This is my favorite effect of 2019. I now use it on EVERY SINGLE TRACK, as a pre-mastering step in Auria Pro. And the tweakability is incredible. Beautiful sounding when heavy or ‘transparent’.

A bus worth getting on!

ReelBus is easily the best of the tape/ retro effect apps, offering great versatility. Everything from a heavy distress to a light feeling of organic warmth. Now with Master Bus mode, it is even more useful. I can honestly say as someone who owns both, that the IOS ToneBoosters apps sound as good or better than the Fab Filter equivalents, for a fraction of the price. Sometimes less really is more.

The tone I’ve been looking for

There are only a few tape effects available on this platform but so far only this one offers what I need. Excellent sounds and so many options to choose from. Well designed UI and so versatile. ToneBoosters have really designed some high quality effects and at the price offered they are an absolute no-brainer. I’d have paid twice the price for this effect. Well done TB. I’m off to buy the EQ now.

ToneBoosters can do no wrong.

These plugins are the real deal. This one in particular can be as subtle or drastic as you want it. And the added tape delay and stop effects are really lovely as well!

It's time to change

This app is deep, beautiful sounding and capable of bettering the performance of other apps in its field. I suspect it will make me delete other similar but inferior attempts to do all this app can do.

From an Old Tape Guy

I worked with tape in the 70’s and 80’s an audio engineer; AGFA, Ampex mostly, and in 1/4, 1/2, and 2 inch formats 15 and 30ips with Dolby and without. This is a wonderful emulation. Great work.

Saw this demo’d on TheSoundTestRoom

Top Tier Effect

I was reluctant to try the TB apps and have held off but who doesn’t like a tape sim. Glad I caved in as it is by far the most organic sounding tape effect on iOS, top drawer. Might have to try the reverb.
