Dead Tape
Make it sound like it was found in a drawer.
Some sounds need to feel old. Dead Tape crushes the bits, drops the sample rate, adds hiss, rolls off the top and lets you blend it back in, in one small plugin with a cassette on the front.

What it does
Dead Tape in 4 parts.
Five controls
BITS, RATE, NOISE, FILTER and MIX. Nothing else to learn.
From worn to wrecked
Bits run from 16 down to 4, and the sample rate from 48 kHz down to 2 kHz, so it goes from a dull old tape to a broken toy.
Blend it in
MIX keeps the clean signal underneath, so you can add just a hint of age to a whole bus or a single sound.
The reels turn
The cassette on the front spins with the level of the audio. It is a plugin, not a toy, but it is nice to look at.
- Simple on purpose. It does one job and does it quickly.
- Not part of the Nu series. It is a separate release with its own look.
