Bad Tape

Bad Tape offers producers a quick and easy way to wrap their tracks and mixes in the imperfect crunch, warmth, vibe and hiss of analog tape

Highlights

New effects
Bad Tape 2 includes four new effects to unleash on your unsuspecting audio: Phaser, Doubler, Resonator and Magnet.

Push-Pull Graphic
The Push-Pull Graph gives you complete control over which frequencies are saturated and which parts of the spectrum remain untouched. You can use automation to create undulating amounts of distortion or create sharp curves to generate screeching resonances.

Saturation
Bad Tape 2’s Saturation effect can be used to bring a warm, vintage character to your tracks, buses and mixes. Oversampling options allow for the perfect representation of imperfection.

Detune
Slow down and speed up your “tape” in real time, mimicking the effect of stopping and starting a reel-to-reel machine.

Speed
Controls the speed of Bad Tape 2’s Wow and Shake effects by adjusting the Speed slider.

With Bad Tape being one of our most beloved plugins, we felt it deserved a fully featured followup. Bad Tape 2 takes the original’s lauded reel-to-reel emulation, gives you complete mastery over the behavior of its imperfections, and piles on some additional effects you can use to further modulate, stretch, distort, and excite your productions.
