TAPESCAM

Bring the sputter, wobble, and magnetic warmth of a well-loved four-track into any project. TapeScam stacks dual gain stages with randomized dropouts, wow/flutter motion, and controllable hiss so you can dial in everything from gentle glue to saturated cassette chaos.

- Blend Drive + Color to morph between smooth compression and spitty, asymmetrical crunch

- Wow/Flutter knob moves from subtle drift to dreamy vibrato, with Age-based randomness that keeps both

channels alive

- Tone tilt plus Bass/Treble shelves let you brighten guitars, thicken keys, or scoop space for vocals

without leaving the plugin

- Tape Speed presets shift headroom, bandwidth, and dropout behavior for “new”, “used”, or “worn” tapes

- Noise and Comp switches give instant texture and level matching, while Output trims sit post-saturation

for easy gain staging

- Randomized dropout envelopes with smooth attack/hold/release phases create musical dips and wear

NOTE: This is a plugin! It doesn't make any sound on its own. Available as an AUv3 for iOS/iPadOS. TapeScam slots into your DAW of choice.
