Cassette – An Audio Plugin that Imparts the Unique Character of an Often Maligned Recording Medium

Cassette is an audio plugin that emulates the sound of vintage cassette tapes and decks. It imparts instant nostalgia, movement, and an analog feel all around in its path. The plugin is Intel and M1/Apple Silicon natively supported and features a ferric-oxide coating (Fe2O3).
