Free Tape Cassette 2 App

Free AUv3 Tape Cassette Effect

Tape Cassette 2 is an audio plugin that emulates the warmth, noise and character of old tape cassettes. Following up from our well received Tape Cassette 1, we’ve updated the plugin with a sleek interface and more changes under the hood too.

Along with a brand new selectable Type 1 Cassette Impulse Response (IR), we’ve improved the saturation algorithm, wow & flutter engine and implemented real sampled tape noise, all which results in a wonderfully warm and more accurate vintage sound. In addition to this you now have two VU meters to monitor your audio and built in oversampling.

You can easily add that classic sound to an entire track, or use directly on individual channels, for added movement, texture and warmth. Alternatively you can take it further than the material limitations of tape and push the parameters into a far more experimental soundscape, as a sound design tool.

Parameters:

⁃ Saturation (+/-24dB)
⁃ Low Pass Filter (5 to 22KHz)
⁃ Noise (-80 to 0 dB)
⁃ Wow (0 to 100%)
⁃ Flutter (0 to 100%)
– IR (On/Off)

Tape Cassette 2 is both a stand-alone application as well as an AUv3 plugin, meaning it works within iOS and iPadOS hosts such as GarageBand.

OTT Compressor Limiter iPad iPhone

Bram Bos WOOTT Logo

WOOTT is an Audio Unit plugin (AUv3 audio effect) inspired by the infamous OTT sound.

WOOTT uses a triple band dynamics algorithm with simultaneous downwards AND upwards compression, and adds a dedicated limiter to each band. So what’s all that techno mumbojumbo good for?

1. First, it slams all the loud, dominant aspects of your sound
2. Next it blows up all the subtle quiet bits that were hiding below

As a result, it’s perfect for:

– Blowing up average sounds to massive proportions
– Giving an aggressive sharp edge to synthesizer filters
– Bringing out subtle details and movement that would otherwise get lost in the mix (in a hamfisted way, though)
– Dusting off old breakbeat samples and loops
– Hyping specific aspects of your synth lines
– Making generally boring things more interesting

WOOTT features:

– AUv3 audio unit effect plugin
– Universal (all iPads and iPhones supported), iOS11+
– Runs in all your favorite plugin hosts: Cubasis, AUM, Beatmaker 3, Nanostudio 2, Garageband, etc.
– Multi-output (requires compatible host) for post-processing the individual bands
– Low-resource, so stack as many of them as you like – “[WO]OTT all the things!”
– Downwards *and* upwards compressors (a rare feature on conventional dynamics plugins)
– Smart soft limiter per band, adapts to its own band’s specific settings

Note: this is not a subtle effect. If subtle and minimal are what you’re after, this is not the droid you’re looking for 🙂

Scatterbrain Audio Splitter
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Audio splitter effect for iOS

Scatterbrain is a plugin audio effect (AUv3, Audio Unit), which chops up incoming audio into rhythmical steps and sends these slices out to multiple outputs in your plugin host.

You can sequence how the steps are scattered over the (maximum 4) different outputs, or leave that up to chance.

Scatterbrain records the incoming audio onto a hidden internal tapeloop. Using the buffer effects you can specify the probability of randomly triggering slicer or stutter effects for an extra seasoning of chaos and mayhem.

Note: to use the multi-out effect, this AUv3 plugin requires an AU host which supports multiple outputs. If the host does not support multi-out, only the first channel will work.

Also note that due to the multi-out nature of the plugin there is no meaningful standalone functionality. You will need a plugin host to make use of this plugin.

Eventide Spring Reverb
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Eventide Spring Reverb iOS

Spring Reverb models the sound and character of popular spring reverbs found in guitar amplifiers, popularized by Surf, Garage and Rockabilly music. Spring takes this a step further by allowing manipulation of physical parameters not normally available in a real spring tank. The results vary from faithful recreations of real springs to distinctive new sounds that push the physical boundaries of reverb. Guitarists love the revered surfer vibe but all creative musicians will find that Spring makes any synthesizer, drum, or vocal stand out in a mix.

This vintage reverb sound originally derived from the reflections of sound waves traveling through springs has been given an overhaul for the 21st century and beyond. Eventide Spring contains two different sized ‘spring tanks’ along with the ability to morph between one and three springs. Easily program The Ribbon to seamlessly transition between any two settings in real-time! The added tube-amp-style tremolo can be routed before or after the spring resulting in an unrivaled ability to craft your own unique reverb sound. Alter the intensity by changing the tremolo depth and adjust the tremolo rate in Hz, or note value when tempo-synced to your project.

Features:

– Artist presets by Matt Lange, Nick Hook, and Nu-Trix.
– Tempo Sync reverb decay to your DAW
– Craft original sounds by changing the number of springs and damping frequency
– Alter overall resonance by selecting the size of the spring tank
– Tube-amp-style tremolo that can be routed pre- or post-reverb
– Create chorus-like effects by altering Modulation Level
– The Ribbon controller allows for dynamic modification of several knobs at once to easily morph between settings
– Programmable Hotswitch provides the ability to jump instantly to an alternate sound at the push of a button
– iOS version works as a standalone app, AudioUnit v3 effect, or Inter-App Audio effect
