A nod to the nostalgic sound of that old cassette recorder in your basement
Mixtape brings the familiar warmth of cassette recording into your DAW. It’s not just tape saturation, it’s the sound of playback captured through air, with subtle compression and harmonic bloom that gives every track a lived-in feel. Add instant vibe to vocals, drums, or your entire mix in seconds. With linkable input drive and output trim, keep your track sounding thick and grungy without being fooled by simple volume changes.
That extra retro sauce
An intuitive one knob auto-gain compressor, a classic tape drift, and a well-dialled tape quality knob offer endless features. Shape your tone and pin it down with compression, warp it up a bit, and give it that worn-in cassette sound in seconds.
Classic cassette creature comforts
Bring the sound of your favourite retro cassette machine to your DAW with an adjustable tape stop and a noise toggle. Keep it grimey and vibey all the way down.
All you need, right in the canvas
Shape your sound even further with advanced tape stop settings, 4x oversampling, and variable vintage-set hipass and lowpass filters. Then save your favourite settings to recall for later or grab one of ours to feel instantly inspired!
