Description

NEW YEAR 50% OFF SALE! Ends 6th January 2024

Tape Pro is a multi-fx tape emulation AUv3 plugin and app that introduces warmth, frequency shaping, modulation, noise and delay. Whether you want to accurately replicate a microcassette tape running at 1.2cm/s, or you want to drive a mastering grade tape machine with strange distortion shapes into a high feedback delay engine, Tape Pro is the plugin for the job.

Saturation
The saturation module is the first part of the signal chain within Tape Pro. It’s very flexible as it isn’t restricted to the traditional sound of tape and can be used to tune into your desired distortion sound. The module has 5 user parameters: Type, Drive, Asymmetry, Hysteresis and Remanence. The types of saturation on offer are: Tape, Digital, Rectify, Half-Rectify, Sine & Smooth.

Response
The response module within Tape Pro models the dynamic frequency response of tape. This can bring warmth, presence, or even jarring qualities to your audio - this is entirely subjective of course! The module has 3 user parameters: Type, Low Pass & High Loss. Tape Pro includes the following impulse responses:
Cassette Type 1, Cassette Type 2, Cassette Type 4, Worn Copi-Delay, New Copi-Delay, Mod Copi-Delay, Master SA812, Master TM15, Microcassette 1.2cm/s, Microcassette 2.4cm/s, Semi-Pro RB77 7.5ips & Semi-Pro RB77 15ips. Tape Pro also includes Minimum Phase (MP) versions of the IRs listed above (not including the copi-delay versions). If you are using Tape Pro in parallel, on a bus or on a send, we recommend that a minimum phase IR is used. (For more information on this please see the explanation in the manual available from our website).

Noise
The Noise module applies real, sampled tape noises to the signal chain. The module has 4 user parameters: Type, Pre/Post Delay, Gain & Crosstalk. The noises included are the same as listed above in the response module.

Wow & Flutter
The Wow and Flutter module emulates the natural irregularities in the physical medium of tape. Wow recreates the low speed fluctuations of tape speed, while Flutter recreates the high speed fluctuations. The modules have 10 parameters in total. Wow: Depth, Sync, Rate, Mod, Sync x2 and Mod Rate. Flutter: Depth, Rate, Mod, Mod Rate.

Delay
The Delay module is an emulation of an analogue tape delay machine. The module has 11 user parameters: Dry, Wet, Time L, Time R, Feedback L, Feedback R, Portamento, Enable, Initial, Sync and Link.

Tape Pro is both a stand-alone application as well as an AUv3 plugin, meaning it works within iOS and iPadOS hosts such as GarageBand.

Bravo!

Well done. Solid emulation. Excellent feature set and UI. Integrates flawlessly with AUM.
I was looking at used old school tascam 4 track cassette recorders. Dawned on me somebody has made a plug-in for that. I bought a few and they really weren’t going to serve my needs. And then I found this gem.
Also bought a copy for my laptop DAW :-)

Ideal for musicians who need great presets ready to go

Since these are sampled instruments there’s no need to worry about having to fiddle with too many settings to get great sounds. Absolutely has a place among other synths and instruments on iOS. Now… if we could only convince the developer to bring all of these apps to macOS!

Developer Response ,

Hello, sorry for the issue that you had exporting from GarageBand. We have tested exporting with GarageBand using the newer version of Tape Pro (v1.2) on our devices and it is working. However, if you still have issues on your particular setup then please contact us at support@caelumaudio.com so we can immediately turn our attention to resolving the issue.

Dizzying number of options

Want mini cassette thinness and unreliability of fidelity or master 15 ips emulation? Want to add insane levels of Worbble to your synth tracks? This app does it all. A decent glue app for mastering but there are probably some better ones out there for twice the price. Still, at $5 USD you can’t go wrong to add this one to your audio arsenal.
