Warm Up Your Sound

Tape recordings have a musical quality that digital mixes often lack. TAIP brings this quality into your DAW.
It will add some authentic analog heat to your tracks, without the need to route any audio outside the box.

Tape plugins are not a new concept. However, our emulation method is. Instead of using traditional DSP, we've developed TAIP around an AI algorithm designed to decipher the invisible nuances of analog circuits.

The result is a truly faithful tape emulation that's intuitive and creative in use – with some added features to accommodate a modern workflow. Use TAIP to bring a touch of warmth and glue to your tracks, or 'drive it like you hate it' as an alternative to your distortion plugins.

Highlights:

  • AI-powered algorithm, giving you the true warmth and behavior of analog tape.

  • Flexible feature set, allowing you to create a custom 'tape flavor' for any need.

  • Use TAIP to add musical saturation and glue to drums, instruments, vocals and beyond.

  • Read more about our AI emulation approach on our site.

Launched to a lot of hype (mostly YouTubers) and then? Well, I can tell you it's very nice on bass, vocals, drums, and for that extra spice, even the master. BUT, do NOT use negative Hi-Shape or Lo-Shape values on 'pristine' sources or it will seriously fuck up your audio. Not ONE reviewer bothered to describe the behavior of these innocuous and badly named sliders. Neither does Baby Audio. So you're welcome. If BA had added some sort of visualizer...that would've helped, but really, why have 'em in the first place? Or if you are going to, why not think about how the end user is going to perceive and use those settings? As an EQ basically, right? So, what happens when I turn down the bass on my EQ? Does my kick drum turn to diarrhea? Nope. While they generally make some very intuitive plugins (Tekno is genius, Smooth Operator Pro is gold!), this one confuses me. V2.0 with better controls (or even some sort of 'well this is why we put this here') should ensure that this has legs beyond it's initial 'premier week' on YouTube. It's a very simple, and a very elegant sounding plugin; those two settings just play spoilsport.

This tape machine emulation plugin is great for adding character, wormth and even disctortion.
It's based on AI training model of a real hardware tape and sounds great.

Here is my review and demo.
