The plugin always works at 192KHz sampling rate internally. Includes “Random Snap” for simulating the tape being caught momentarily causing pitch instability.Īs you can see in this panel, Cassette uses oversampling in order to get rid of aliasing. Artifacts: Control how the Artifacts parameter in the front panel works internally.Including the innovative “Re-Cassette” parameter. Extra: More of what makes a cassette sound like a cassette.Includes “randomness” in order to make things unpredictable and analog. Stability: Control how the Stability parameter in the front panel works internally.Tape: I always wanted to have a modular tape plugin in which I could enable or disable each step of the processing.There’s much more power under the hood than what you see at a first glance. Cassette imprints instant nostalgia, movement and analog feel all around in its path.Ĭassette has been designed to be fun, pleasant to the ear and true to the medium. Reproduction systems will also induce their fingerprint: wow, flutter, random high-frequency loss, crosstalk between channels, stereo unbalances and other.Īll of these little quirks and random fluctuations have been modelled meticulously. These include a different frequency response, frequency-dependent saturation, high-frequency compression, hiss, asperity noise and much more. Because of that, it will impart its own sound signature to signals recorded into it.

As a result, you get the same sound and behaviour of the original units. It has been carefully modelled after exhaustive analysis of a high number of sound signals recorded into real tapes. Rewind, listen again.Ĭassette is an audio plugin that emulates the sound of vintage cassette tapes and decks. Watching the meters move as they sang into an old microphone. They discovered the passion for music between quirks and random fluctuations. This is Wavesfactory's tribute to the sound that shaped their childhood. They are not perfect, in fact, they are far from perfect. The Wavesfactory team grew up listening to them at home, on the car or on a walkman. This is not a tape machine, this is a time machine.Īn entire generation heard the music that shaped their lives on cassette tape.

Cassette is an audio plugin that imparts the unique character and sonic imprint of an often maligned recording medium, one that offers a sound like nothing else.
