TapeFi have released Fail, available as a FREE download for a limited time.
Bring the chaotic beauty of real, worn-out cassette tapes to your music.
This is TapeFi’s first release, and it’s our way of introducing a new vision for audio plugins: tools that aren’t clean, sterile, or predictable – but full of character, chaos, and soul. This is just the start of TapeFi’s rise.
TapeFi spent months capturing the soul of real tape – its warmth, grit, unpredictable wear, and nostalgic saturation – to create a one-of-a-kind plugin that transforms your digital tracks into lo-fi magic.
Features include:
- Authentic Hiss – Add the dusty breath of real tape noise for instant lo-fi texture.
- Custom Distortion Engine – Hand-coded to emulate true magnetic degradation, from warm analog glow to gnarly saturation.
- Dropout Effect – Bring the unstable, broken playback vibes of old tape decks, with natural volume dips and glitches.
- MELT (Wow & Flutter) – A fully modeled pitch drift effect for realistic tape wobble and movement.
- 6 Unique Tape Modes – Each with its own tone, wear, and unpredictable personality.
- Native Support – Runs smooth on all major DAWs for Windows, macOS.
Fail is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3 and AU).
