Nostalgic Saturation

Tape Cassette 2 is an audio plugin that emulates the warmth, noise and character of old tape cassettes. Following up from Caelum Audio's well-received Tape Cassette 1, Caelum Audio have 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), Caelum Audio have 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.

Output +/-24dB
Auto-Gain On/Off
