Ratings and Reviews
Absolutely Beautiful
Other reviewers obviously have no idea how to explore for themselves and change simple values like the tempo, or read documentation. This app has been unfairly reviewed by the “Need it now” generation. Seriously, spend half an hour reading up on it. It’s worth the time.
This app is absolutely beautiful. It’s a lot better than other tape apps out there. This one has it all, and can make some lovely textures and drones. The saturation is on point, it gets that nice crunchy tape saturation down perfectly. It’s very easy to record anywhere up to 8 bars from straight inside your project, save and recall at any time. Every time you do it loops perfectly. It’s a lot of fun to play with standalone which I recommend you do to get a feel for it and the sorts of noises this thing can generate. It’s as authentic as tape apps come, right down to being able to manipulate the spools.
I love the custom tape head spacing, it makes for some very very nice tape delay.
Great app, exactly what I was looking for. Was a little hesitant at first, because i’ve been bitten by “other” tape looper apps, but this is what I was looking for.
Fantastic support from Kai. Big thanks!
Had a few issues getting this working in AUM. Kai was super helpful helping me troubleshoot and get it working. The delay sounds amazing, really captures the flavor classic tape delays with plenty of setting the tweak away at a craft whatever sound you need.
Buggy, broken and barely useable
This app is a joke. Firstly there’s no way I can find to change the speed of the tape and everything loads in at around half speed. Many of the knobs do nothing or their function is labelled incorrectly. For example feedback does nothing. The output level and the mix level knob both control output level. The wow and flutter are poor LFO effects and the save system/file export plain doesn’t work. You can’t preview the output file and it does not give you any idea of where it’s saved to. I can’t find the file anywhere. As a message to the developer, you should be ashamed of yourself, this product was not ready for the market and if it was I doubt it would be good.
