REQ: Denise - Bad Tape VST Win
A raw, wonky tape harmer that causes crackling, detuning and buzzing until it stops and breaks.
Its focus is on creating extreme tape artefacts… and man does it sound bad.
Inspiration for the Bad Tape came from Denise team member Enrico ‘nrec’ Tiberi:
“I was using a lot of my old Akai 4000 DS MK2 reel to reel tape recorder pressing the tape to slow it down as an effect and that made me want a plugin that could control how to break the sound without having to use my fingers each time and without all the cables and fuss that analogue hardware inevitably brings”.
