Cassette

Wavesfactory

Cassette is a tape emulation audio plugin that models the sound of vintage cassette tapes and decks with authentic character and harmonic saturation. Based on exhaustive analysis of real tape types and classic cassette recorders, it imparts the unique sonic fingerprint of magnetic tape including wow, flutter, hiss, and saturation. This is not a high-fidelity plugin—Cassette is designed to be fun, adding vintage color and analog warmth to any mix.
