AIR Music Tech Releases Tape Double Track - A Free (until December 7th) Plugin Inspired by the ADT Studio Technique

AIR Music Tech today announced the release of Tape Double Track, a brand-new plugin that faithfully recreates the (ADT) effect classic Automatic Double Tracking, first developed in 1966. AIR brings this iconic sound into both MPC and DAW workflows and it's launching completely free of charge ($99.99 value) for a limited time. ADT revolutionized recording by creating the illusion of double-tracked performances using tape delay, varispeed, and modulation, without requiring artists to re-record parts. First used by John Lennon and popularized across countless Beatles recordings, the effect quickly became a studio staple for its ability to add depth, width, and natural variation to vocals, guitars, and instruments. With Tape Double Track, we wanted to honor a truly historic studio innovation while making it accessible to every music maker. This is not just another doubling plugin — it's a faithful recreation of the classic technique, enhanced with modern flexibility, and free for everyone to use. Neal Gustafson, Software Marketing Manager at AIR Music Tech Key Features: True ADT Behavior: Tape delay and oscillator-driven varispeed recreate the original Abbey Road process. Expanded Modulation: Choose between sine, triangle, and random modulation shapes, with adjustable warp. Randomize Heads & Recalibrate: Capture the unpredictability of tape playback. Channel Control: Independent pan, drive, mute, phase, and level for both source and double-track channels. Low-End Options: Bass Mono and Solo Bass toggles with frequency control for tighter mixes. MPC + DAW Integration: Available as an effect inside both standalone MPC hardware and all major DAWs.
