Warm Up Your Sound<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Tape recordings have a musical quality that digital mixes often lack. TAIP brings this quality into your DAW. It will add some authentic analogue heat to your tracks, without the need to route any audio outside the box.<\/p>\n
Tape plugins are not a new concept. However, this emulation method is. Instead of using traditional DSP, Baby Audio has developed TAIP around an AI algorithm designed to decipher the invisible nuances of analogue circuits.<\/p>\n
The result is a truly faithful tape emulation that\u2019s intuitive and creative in use \u2013 with some added features to accommodate a modern workflow. Use TAIP to bring a touch of warmth and glue to your tracks, or \u2018drive it like you hate it\u2019 as an alternative to your distortion plugins.<\/p>\n
Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
AI-powered algorithm, giving you the true warmth and behaviour of analogue tape.<\/li>\n
Flexible feature set, allowing you to create a custom \u2018tape flavour\u2019 for any need.<\/li>\n
Use TAIP to add musical saturation and glue to drums, instruments, vocals, and beyond.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
TAIP is Baby Audio’s creation of the ideal \u2018Tape Machine\u2019 for the DAW-era, combining an authentic vintage sound with a modern feature set. Its parameters will let you customize the right tape flavour for any need.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Putting the ‘AI’ in TAIP<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u2018AI\u2019 is an overused – and often misused – term. But Baby Audio believe it\u2019s the future of music technology. It just needs to be used genuinely and with a legitimate purpose.<\/p>\n
For a hardware emulation project like TAIP, AI offers an alternative – and in Baby Audio’s\u00a0opinion more faithful – approach over the traditional DSP method. Where a normal DSP emulation would entail \u2018guesstimating\u2019 the effect of various analogue components and their mutual dependencies, TAIP\u00a0can use AI \/ neural networks to accurately decipher the sonic qualities that make a tape machine sound and behave in the way it does. This happens by feeding an algorithm various training data of dry vs. processed audio and teaching it to identify the exact characteristics that make up the difference. Once these differences have been learned by the AI, TAIP can apply them to new audio.<\/p>\n
This process may sound overly digital for a plugin that brings an analogue sound. But the reality is that \u2018analogue\u2019 and \u2018digital\u2019 are two fundamentally different domains. To get a computer to behave (or sound!) in a certain way, it helps to think like it does. Re-creating an \u2018analogue-style\u2019 signal path in DSP is thinking about the problem like a human. The AI approach helps to solve the problem like a machine would \u2013 for a more faithful emulation.<\/p>\n
Presets<\/strong><\/p>\n
TAIP comes loaded with 135 presets created by friends of Baby Audio – including:<\/p>\n
\n
Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, The Killers, Bloc Party, Elton John)<\/li>\n
Max Jaeger (Ariana Grande, Kanye West, Drake, Calvin Harris)<\/li>\n
Eestbound (Travis Scott, Young Thug, Jazz Cartier)<\/li>\n
Rob Kleiner (Sia, Britney Spears, David Guetta, Cee Lo)<\/li>\n
Cesar Sogbe (Prince, David Byrne, Jennifer Lopez)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Display Options<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Switch between three backgrounds (Black \/ Gray \/ White)<\/li>\n
DRIVE:<\/strong>\u00a0Traditionally, tape machines were designed to colour the sound as little as possible. TAIP is not. You can use the DRIVE knob to add just as much colour as you need – from a subtle touch of heat to heavy distortion.<\/li>\n
MIX\/TAPE FLANGING:<\/strong>\u00a0MIX lets you run your tape in parallel. You can combine MIX and WEAR to get a classic \u2018tape flanging\u2019 effect. This is caused by the wow and flutter of WEAR running in parallel with the dry track.<\/li>\n
MODEL:<\/strong>\u00a0While SINGLE is a regular tape emulation, DUAL creates a series of two tape emulations chained together under the hood, each applying half of the DRIVE value. This will add slightly more weight to your signal.<\/li>\n
LO-SHAPE \/ HI-SHAPE:<\/strong>\u00a0These sliders let you saturate the low\/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum. (Example: Warm up a drum bus without distorting the low frequencies).<\/li>\n
GLUE:<\/strong>\u00a0Tape machines are known to introduce a pleasing compression-like effect due to their low dynamic range. TAIP lets you add this effect \u2013 or even exaggerate it. Use GLUE for subtle cohesion or as an actual compressor.<\/li>\n
NOISE:<\/strong>\u00a0Let’s you add tape noise to taste \u2013 or avoid it altogether.<\/li>\n
WEAR:<\/strong>\u00a0Combines wow, flutter, and an altered frequency response curve to emulate a worn-out tape machine.<\/li>\n
PRESENCE:<\/strong>\u00a0Part of the tape warmth comes from an attenuated high-end. PRESENCE allows you to decide how much of that attenuation you want. It can bring back the brightness that is sometimes lost on tape.<\/li>\n
INPUT:<\/strong>\u00a0Choose between NORMAL or HOT (more distorted) input levels without affecting the output volume.<\/li>\n
AUTO GAIN:<\/strong>\u00a0Allows you to add more DRIVE while keeping a consistent plugin output level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
