Free Tape Cassette 2 plugin by Caelum Audio delivers nostalgic saturation

Caelum Audio has announced the release of Tape Cassette 2, an update to the audio plugin that emulates the warmth, noise and character of old tape cassettes.

Tape Cassette 2 is an audio plugin that emulates the warmth, noise and character of old tape cassettes. Following up from our well received Tape Cassette 1, we've updated the plugin with a sleek interface and more changes under the hood too.

Along with a brand new selectable Type 1 Cassette Impulse Response (IR), we've improved the saturation algorithm, wow & flutter engine and implemented real sampled tape noise, all which results in a wonderfully warm and more accurate vintage sound. In addition to this you now have two VU meters to monitor your audio as well as selectable oversampling. Specifics are listed below:

Selectable Type 1 Cassette Impulse Response (IR)
Dynamic saturation curve algorithm implementing hysteresis and including oversampling
Wow & Flutter engines rebuilt to focus on smoother emulation
Real sampled noise from a Type 1 Cassette
Low Pass range increased down to 5kHz
Now you can easily add that classic sound entire track, or use directly on individual channels, for added movement, texture and warmth. Alternatively you can take it further than the material limitations of tape and push the parameters into a far more experimental soundscape, as a sound design tool.

Powerful and Simple Parameters
Saturation +/-24dB
Low Pass Filter 5-22KHz
Noise -80 to 0 dB
Wow 0 - 100%
Flutter 0 - 100%
IR On/Off
Oversampling (2x, 4x, 8x, 16x)
