Tape recording possesses a musical quality often lacking in digital mixes. TAIP brings this quality to your DAW. Add authentic analog warmth to your tracks without routing audio outside of your DAW. Tape plugins aren't a new concept, but this emulation method is. Instead of using traditional DSP, Baby Audio developed TAIP around an AI algorithm designed to decipher the subtle nuances of analog circuitry.
The result is a truly faithful tape emulation with intuitive and creative uses, plus several features to accommodate modern workflows. Use TAIP to add warmth and glue to your tracks, or "drive" them "out of control" as a distortion plugin.
Features:
- DRIVE: Traditionally, tape machines were designed to color the sound as little as possible. TAIP isn't. Use the DRIVE knob to add as much color as you need, from a subtle touch of warmth to heavy distortion.
- MIX / TAPE FLANGING: MIX allows you to run the tape in parallel. Combine MIX and WEAR for a classic "tape flanging" effect, caused by the wow and flutter of WEAR running in parallel with the dry track.
- MODEL: SINGLE is standard tape emulation, while DUAL creates a chain of two tape emulations internally, each applying half the DRIVE value. This adds a subtle weight to the signal.
- LO-SHAPE / HI-SHAPE: These sliders allow you to saturate the low end/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum (e.g., warm up a drum bus without distorting the low frequencies).
- GLUE: Tape machines are known for their pleasing compression-like effect due to their limited dynamic range. TAIP lets you add or exaggerate this effect. Use GLUE for subtle compression, or as a true compressor.
- Noise: Add tape noise for flavor—or avoid it altogether.
- Wear & Tear: Emulate a worn-out tape machine with a combination of wow and flutter, and a modified frequency response curve.
- Presence: Some of the warmth of tape comes from a rolled-off high end. PRESENCE lets you determine the amount of attenuation needed. You can even recover some of the brightness that can be lost with tape.
- Input: Choose between NORMAL or HOT (more distorted) input levels without affecting the output volume.
- Auto Gain: Add drive while maintaining consistent plugin output levels.
Until 31th October.
