Baby Audio TAIP

Tape recordings have a musical quality that digital mixes often lack. We wanted to bring this quality into the DAW in the most uncompromising way.

Sonically, TAIP offers a faithful, AI-based, emulation of a 1971 European tape machine. Our plugin will add the same harmonic richness and non-linear magic as the hardware. But feature-wise, we’ve taken the liberty to go one step further: TAIP comes packaged with a set of innovative sound-design parameters that let you go from just ‘tape’ to ‘beyond tape’.

The result is a happy marriage between classic sound and modern versatility. And we encourage you to drive it hard

✱ Drive:

TAIP’s most important parameter - add a subtle touch of warmth or extreme saturation (or anything in between).

✱ Mix:

Run your tape sound in parallel. Or combine the “Wear” and “Mix” parameters to create tape flanging.

✱ Model:

”Single” brings you one tape emulation, while “Dual” combines two tape machines in a series under the hood.

✱ Lo / Hi-Shape:

Saturates the low/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum.

✱ Glue:

Exaggerates the compression effect that naturally occurs in tape recordings.

✱ Noise:

Adds more tape noise – or removes it entirely.

✱ Presence:

Brings back the brightness that gets lost on tape recordings.

✱ Wear:

Recreates the instabilities of a worn-out tape machine and subtly alters the tape speed.

✱ Input:

Lets you distort the signal more - or less - without affecting the output level.

✱ Auto-Gain:

Lets you add more drive while keeping a consistent plugin output.

✱ Color Modes:

Switch between black, gray and white background colors.

✱ Resizability:

Fully resizable plugin window.
