AIR Tape Effects Collection
3 Tape Emulation Plugins
This bundle includes:
- Tape Double Tracker
- Tape Echo
- Tape Saturator
The AIR Tape Effects Collection brings three essential analog tape workflows into a modern production environment.
Faithfully modeled on the character of vintage tape effects processing, this collection delivers the sound and feel of tape delay, saturation, and double tracking without the limitations of hardware.
Together, these effects capture the subtle imperfections, organic movement, and charming unpredictability that made analog tape a cornerstone of studio production.
With modern features and functionality for a digital workflow, these effects give you a complete toolkit for adding authentic tape techniques to your MPC standalone or computer-based productions.
Tape Saturator
Long before the flexibility and convenience of digital recording workflows became the norm, analog tape was at the center of studio productions.
Most popular from the 1960s through 1990s, it was used to add richness and gentle saturation to recordings, making any mix feel more cohesive.
Tape Saturator captures that familiar character, recreating the harmonics, soft compression, and saturation that recording engineers relied on, while giving you precise control in a modern digital environment.
Designed for producing and experimenting with sound across DAWs and MPCs, Tape Saturator is capable of smooth, subtle warmth to aggressive analog‑style drive.
Whether you're adding weight to drums, density to vocals, or structure to a full mix, this instrument gives you true tape saturation in a format that’s ready for modern production.
MPC & DAW Integration
Available as an effect inside standalone MPC hardware, MPC Desktop, and all major DAWs, Tape Saturator fits seamlessly into any modern production workflow, bringing authentic tape tone wherever and however you create.
