Wave Alchemy releases Tapewave

Wave Alchemy releases Tapewave cassette player emulation plugin.

Tapewave

Introducing Tapewave– a versatile tape plugin that effortlessly blends the crisp tones of analog tape with the nostalgic charm of aged, lo-fi cassettes.

With authentic wow and flutter modulation, rich tape saturation, vibey analog compression, and six unique tape styles with adjustable tape age control, achieve the perfect balance of warmth and grit to take your mix on a journey through time.

Cassette Character

Cassette tape has a unique character that distinguishes it from high-fidelity studio machines made famous by Studer and Ampex. For decades, countless records – many still today – have used cassettes for their distinct saturation, modulation, compression, and EQ effects.

In Tapewave, we meticulously analyzed our favorite cassette machines to faithfully replicate their unique sound and character. Instead of relying on simple saturation and basic pitch modulation like many other plugins, we delved deeper to capture the true, intricate nuances of real cassette tape.

With just a few intuitive controls, you can effortlessly dial in everything from subtle warmth to the textured sound of lo-fi, degraded tape, providing an authentic cassette experience inside your DAW.

Press play on fun

Tapewave makes getting the authentic sound of cassette tape simple, fast, and fun. Each of its six distinct tape styles comes with a matching visual aesthetic, complete with animation.

Its clean, streamlined interface ensures that shaping your signature sound is effortless, letting you dive into creativity without distraction.

Six tape styles

Switching tapes is one of the simplest ways to achieve a different sound when recording to cassette – some tapes are darker, grittier, cleaner, or purely lo-fi.

Tapewave brings this experience to life by offering six distinct tape styles, each with its own instantly recognizable character. Plus, with the Age control, you can push each tape style even further, transforming the sound from brand new to the brink of total breakdown, capturing the full range of cassette degradation.
