Tape Deck Emulation
Bring your sound back to the golden age of cassette tapes (minus the tangle)
DAW Cassette brings back the magic era of the 1980s by emulating the sound of a tape deck. Saturation, distortion, noise, wobble, it's all there. While there's no real rational logic to it, the sound color gives us chills down the spines, (or it might be the mullet haircut that tickles). Fresh.
Choose your preferred level of cassetteness with the different controls for input/output gain, tape/motor/head quality, and tape/noise type. Now, look in the mirror and get stunned by your new mullet haircut.
Anatomy
1. Quality - Use these controls to set the desired quality of the Tape (magnetic band saturation), Head (frequency response), and Motor (speed consistency).
2. Emul80ies - Different types of cassette tape, as well as Noise reduction emulation.
3. Trim the sound, not the mullet - Input, Output, Mix. Serve chilled.
Flip It
1. Let it bleed - Adjust the amount of channel crosstalk.
2. Bring on the noise - Fine level noise adjustment for every noise taste.
3. Built to tilt - Skew the tape head angle for some nice phase issues.
4. Graphic Equalizer - Four excellent bands for your excellent band.
