TAIP
AI-POWERED TAPE SATURATOR (VST/AU/AAX)

Discover TAIP

Tape recordings have a musical quality that digital mixes often lack. We wanted to bring this quality into the DAW in the most uncompromising way. 

Sonically, TAIP offers a faithful, AI-based, emulation of a 1971 European tape machine. Our plugin will add the same harmonic richness and non-linear magic as the hardware. But feature-wise, we’ve taken the liberty to go one step further: TAIP comes packaged with a set of innovative sound-design parameters that let you go from just ‘tape’ to ‘beyond tape’.

The result is a happy marriage between classic sound and modern versatility. And we encourage you to drive it hard!

Warm Up Your Sound

• TAIP brings the true sound and behavior of analog tape into your DAW
• Use it to add organic saturation and life to sterile drums, instruments and vocals
• Intuitive and versatile feature set: customize any tape flavor for any need

Features

Drive:
TAIP’s most important parameter - add a subtle touch of warmth or extreme saturation (or anything in between).

Mix:
Run your tape sound in parallel. Or combine the “Wear” and “Mix” parameters to create tape flanging.

Model:
”Single” brings you one tape emulation, while “Dual” combines two tape machines in a series under the hood.

Lo / Hi-Shape:
Saturates the low/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum. 

Glue:
Exaggerates the compression effect that naturally occurs in tape recordings.

Noise:
Adds more tape noise – or removes it entirely.

Presence:
Brings back the brightness that gets lost on tape recordings.

Wear:
Recreates the instabilities of a worn-out tape machine and subtly alters the tape speed.

Input:
Lets you distort the signal more - or less - without affecting the output level.

Auto-Gain:
Lets you add more drive while keeping a consistent plugin output.

Color Modes:
Switch between black, gray and white background colors.

Resizability:
Fully resizable plugin window.
