卡带
卡带赋予了这种常被诟病的录音介质独特的声音。
它拥有无与伦比的个性，我爱上了它。
这不是磁带机，而是一台时光机。
时光倒流
整整一代人都在卡带上聆听塑造他们人生的音乐。我从小就在家里、车里或随身听里听着它们。
它们并不完美，事实上，它们远非完美。
这正是我热爱它们的原因。
这是我对塑造我童年的声音的致敬。我在各种怪异和随机波动之间发现了对音乐的热情。当我对着一个老式麦克风唱歌时，看着节拍器移动。红色的峰值和模拟饱和度。
倒回，再听一遍。
为什么你会爱上卡带
卡带的设计充满乐趣、悦耳动听，并且忠实于其本身。
磁带模拟
磁带经过精心建模，对大量真实磁带中录制的声音信号进行了详尽的分析。因此，我们能够获得与原始磁带相同的声音和行为。
手势
随机性可控
磁带并非无菌介质。它会赋予其独特的声音特征。其中一些非线性效果是不可预测的，这使得信号听起来更加自然、鲜活。

强大的功能
隐藏的功能远不止您乍一看所见。在设置面板中，您可以完全控制所有使磁带听起来更像磁带的参数。
您喜欢哪种类型？
我们模拟了四种可用的磁带类型。每种磁带都具有不同的声音特性。
I：是标准且兼容性最强的磁带格式。采用氧化铁涂层 (Fe2O3)。最早出现于 20 世纪 60 年代。
II：20 世纪 70 年代初，二氧化铬 (CrO2) 配方的磁带问世，其高频响应显著提升。
III：铬铁 (FeCr) 磁带在 70 年代中期到 80 年代初短暂流行，未能进入黄金时代。
IV：金属配方磁带在 70 年代末盛行，其特点是低音更扎实，高频更洪亮。
关于磁带
磁带并非无菌介质。它会将自身的声音特征传递给录制的信号，包括不同的频率响应、频率相关饱和度、高频压缩、嘶嘶声、粗糙噪声等等。
复制系统也会留下自身的痕迹：抖晃、颤动、随机高频损失、串扰、立体声不平衡等等。
所有这些细微的怪癖和随机波动都在 Cassette 中被精心模拟。
磁带
我一直想要一个模块化磁带插件，可以启用或禁用处理的每个步骤。
稳定性
控制前面板中"稳定性"参数的内部工作方式。包含"随机性"，可使效果变得不可预测且更具模拟性。
附加功能
更多功能，让磁带听起来更像磁带。包括创新的"Re-Cassette"参数，可多次运行处理。
伪像
控制前面板中"伪像"参数的内部工作方式。包含"Random Snap"，可模拟磁带瞬间被捕捉。
Cassette
Cassette imparts the unique sound from an often maligned recording medium.
A one that offers character like nothing else and I'm in love with.
This is not a tape machine, this is a time machine.
Rewind back in time
An entire generation heard the music that shaped their lives on cassette tape. I grew up listening to them at home, on the car or on a Walkman.
They are not perfect, in fact, they are far from perfect.
That's what I love about them.
This is my tribute to the sound that shaped my childhood. I discovered the passion for music between quirks and random fluctuations. Watching the meters move as I sang into an old microphone. Red peaks and analog saturation.
Rewind, listen again.
Why you'll love Cassette
Cassette has been designed to be fun, pleasant to the ear and true to the medium.
Tape emulation
Cassette has been carefully modelled after exhaustive analysis of a high number of sound signals recorded into real tapes. As a result, we get the same sound and behaviour as the original unit.

Randomness under control
Magnetic tape is not a sterile media. It will impart its own sound signature. Some of these non-linear effects are unpredictable, which make the signal sound more natural and alive.

Powerful features
There's much more under the hood than what you see at a first glance. In the settings panel you are able to fully control all the parameters that make tape sound like tape.
What's your type?
We modelled the four cassettes types available. Each one delivers different sonic characteristics.
I: was the standard and most compatible tape format. Featured a ferric-oxide coating (Fe2O3). First appeared in the 1960s.
II: with a chromium dioxide (CrO2) formulation was introduced at the dawn of the 1970s featuring an undeniable increase in high frequency response.
III: living a short period between the mid 70s and early 80s, the ferro-chrome (FeCr) never made it into the golden era.
IV: metal-formulated hit the scene at the end of the 70s. Features firmer bass as well as louder high frequencies.
About magnetic tape
Magnetic tape is not a sterile media. It will impart its own sound signature to signals recorded into it. These include different frequency response, frequency dependent saturation, high-frequency compression, hiss, asperity noise and much more.
Reproduction systems will also induce their fingerprint: wow, flutter, random high-frequency loss, crosstalk, stereo unbalances and other.
All of these little quirks and random fluctuations have been modelled meticulously in Cassette.
Tape
I always wanted to have a modular tape plugin in which I could enable or disable each step of the processing.
Stability
Control how the Stability parameter in the front panel works internally. Includes "randomness" in order to make things unpredictable and analog.
Extra
More of what makes a cassette sound like a cassette. Including the innovative "Re-Cassette" parameter that runs the processing several times.
Artifacts
Control how the Artifacts parameter in the front panel works internally. Includes "Random Snap" for simulating the tape being caught momentarily. |
