Plugin Boutique continues its “Creative Effects” promotion with a limited time sale on Wave Alchemy’s tape plugin designed to effortlessly blend the crisp tones of analog tape with the nostalgic charm of aged, lo-fi cassettes.
Tapewave features authentic wow and flutter modulation, rich tape saturation, vibey analog compression, and 6 unique tape styles with adjustable tape age control to help you achieve the perfect balance of warmth and grit to take your mix on a journey through time.
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.
Available in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for Windows and Mac, Tapewave is priced $25 USD instead of $59 USD until July 31st, 2025.
