Tape Vibe

Analog Character Made Simple

Tape Vibe is a mild-to-moderate saturator built with a simple goal: to add vintage tape character to modern productions. It brings analog-inspired harmonic richness to your tracks while preserving transients and maintaining mix clarity.

• Analog Soul for Digital Audio: Infuse sterile recordings with musical harmonic distortion and vintage warmth, removing digital harshness.
• Dead-Simple Operation: Drive, Tone, Thick, no complex parameters—just instant sound.
• Built-in Level Match: An internal level-matching algorithm automatically compensates for gain changes as Drive increases, allowing accurate tonal decisions without loudness bias.
• Up to 16x Oversampling: Engage up to 16x oversampling to effectively eliminate aliasing distortion.
• Zero Latency: Perfect for real-time tracking and live performance (when oversampling is disabled).
• Ultra-Light on CPU: Highly optimized CPU usage. Go ahead and drop it on every single track in your mix!

Latency

When oversampling is disabled, the latency is 0 ms. When oversampling is enabled, the latency in minimum phase mode is about 0.1 ms. In linear phase mode, the latency from 2x to 16x oversampling is about 1 ms to 1.5 ms.

Minimum System Requirements

• Intel or AMD CPU with SSE 4.1 instruction set, or Apple Silicon.
• macOS 11 / Windows 8. 
• 4GB RAM and 100MB disk space.
