Tape Cassette 2

  • Introduce warmth, shaping, modulation and noise to your music.
  • Authentically recreate Type 1 Cassette Tape's characteristics.
  • Push far beyond the limitations of hardware into the experimental soundscape.

Warmth

Use the dynamic saturation curve algorithm with embedded hysteresis to add a vintage, colourful character to your sound.

Authentic Response

Engage the selectable Type 1 Cassette impulse response for authentic modelling of warm tape and roll off the high end using the Low Pass control for an even warmer tone

Texture

Implement the real sample type 1 tape noise to develop the texture in your music.

Modulation

Bring life and movement to your tracks using the wow & flutter controls and push them beyond the limits of hardware.

Tape Cassette 2 is an audio plugin that emulates the warmth, noise and character of old tape cassettes. Following up from our well received Tape Cassette 1, we've updated the plugin with a sleek interface and more changes under the hood too.

Along with a brand new selectable Type 1 Cassette Impulse Response (IR), we've improved the saturation algorithm, wow & flutter engine and implemented real sampled tape noise, all which results in a wonderfully warm and more accurate vintage sound. In addition to this you now have two VU meters to monitor your audio as well as selectable oversampling.

Now you can easily add that classic sound to an entire track or use it directly on individual channels for added movement, texture, and warmth. Alternatively you can take it further than the material limitations of tape and push the parameters into a far more experimental soundscape, as a sound design tool.
