A TAPE MACHINE FOR THE DAW ERA

Tape recordings have a musical quality that digital mixes often lack. We wanted to bring this quality into the DAW in the most uncompromising way. 

Sonically, TAIP offers a faithful, AI-based, emulation of a 1971 European tape machine. Our plugin will add the same harmonic richness and non-linear magic as the hardware. But feature-wise, we’ve taken the liberty to go one step further: TAIP comes packaged with a set of innovative sound-design parameters that let you go from just ‘tape’ to ‘beyond tape’.

The result is a happy marriage between classic sound and modern versatility. And we encourage you to drive it hard!

• Drive: TAIP’s most important parameter - add a subtle touch of warmth or extreme saturation (or anything in between).
• Mix: Run your tape sound in parallel. Or combine the “Wear” and “Mix” parameters to create tape flanging.
• Model: ”Single” brings you one tape emulation, while “Dual” combines two tape machines in a series under the hood.
• Lo / Hi-Shape: Saturates the low/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum.
• Glue: Exaggerates the compression effect that naturally occurs in tape recordings.
• Noise: Adds more tape noise – or removes it entirely.
• Presence: Brings back the brightness that gets lost on tape recordings.
• Wear: Recreates the instabilities of a worn-out tape machine and subtly alters the tape speed.
• Input: Lets you distort the signal more - or less - without affecting the output level.
• Auto-Gain: Lets you add more drive while keeping a consistent plugin output.
• Color Modes: Switch between black, gray and white background colors.
• Resizability: Fully resizable plugin window.
