What the pros are saying
“Sometimes when mixing, you need to f*ck things up to get things right. ‘Tape-stop’ is a creative way to tamper with your audio in a destructive but creative fashion.”
Shape every start and stop
Stop
Trigger a pitch-down slowdown at any time and retrigger it without waiting for the previous movement to finish.
Flux
Blend pitch warble and playback errors into each movement, from precise to heavily worn.
Dust
Add warm noise and fuzz that becomes stronger as the virtual tape slows down.
As accurate or lo-fi as you like
Tapestop models the pitch behavior and instability of an analog tape player as it starts and stops.
Control timing, response shape, warble, dust, and muffling, then trigger every movement manually or with DAW automation.
Our LoFi Series lets you combine different kinds of movement, wear, and texture.
Combine Tapestop with Drifter, Flux Machine, Playtime, and Pitch Dropout 2 - then blend to taste.
