Insert Tape
Character-driven saturation for AU VST3 & AAX.
Insert Tape is a saturation and tone-shaping plug-in built for fast, musical color on tracks, buses, and full mixes.
Modeled on several legendary alorithms and hardware units, it moves from subtle harmonic density to obvious tape-style weight, with easy level matching, flexible oversampling, Mid/Side and dual-mono workflows, and a focused Delta listen mode for hearing exactly what the process is adding.
At its core, Insert Tape is designed to feel immediate: drive the signal, shape the tone, balance the level, and keep moving. The Vintage DSP mode adds a second character path inspired by classic early digital hardware, bringing a grainier, animated edge that sits somewhere between tape polish, converter attitude, and old-school studio circuitry.
