What is OCS-45?
OCS-45 Cassette Simulation by Oversampled. This plugin simulates real life cassette tapes. It's been designed to add lo-fi, vintage feel to your sound. It's rich set of controls allow you to tweak settings exactly the way you need to achieve that low fidelity sound. Predefined presets make it easy to find a perfect setting for your sound.

LOTS OF USEFUL FEATURES

Wow/Flutter

Wow/flutter section adds that vintage pitch wobble effect making your sounds feel like they are flowing.

Rich Distortion Panel
Add warmth to your sound and make it alive with precisely programmed 5 distortion types.

Cassette Settings
Each cassette can be modified to have reduced quality (for that lo-fi sound). Dry/wet knob will help you set a perfect amount of the effect that cassette has on the sound. Mono will take you to old single-speaker times.

Noise Section
Add noise to your sound to simulate real-life cassette hiss or low fidelity hardware.

Dropouts
Real-life cassettes have been known for their tendency to cut out short amounts of sound periodically, due to damaged tape. Our dropouts module does the same thing separately for both channels and runs independently on input signal and noise generator.

4 DIFFERENT CASSETTE TYPES

I Ferric Cassette

Ferric or 'normal' cassettes were historically the first, the most common and
the least expensive; they dominated the pre recorded cassette market.

II Chromium Type Cassette
Type II have, on average, a higher signal-to-noise ratio than quality
Type I tapes. Type II has been historically known as 'chromium dioxide tape' or simply 'chrome
tape'. High frequency response has been increased.

III FeCr Cassette
Introduced in 1973, double-layer ferrichrome tapes. They were advertised as
'the best of both worlds' - combining good low-frequency MOL of microferric tapes with good
treble performance of chrome tapes.

IV Metal Cassette
Were introduced in 1979, they are more bassy and include louder high
frequencies.

PRESETS

Factory Library

You don't need to tweak anything in order to achieve perfect sound. All you have to do is to browse through the built in presets and choose the one you like.

Thanks to the person who supplied the installers!

curious, how does this compare to the recent caelum tape pro (or rc-20 retro color)
make music, not walls.

To my ears, the best cassette tape sim plugin (and GUI!) so far has to be SketchCassette II, which is also available on here. Caelum's not bad, and there's a few others around, but SketchCassette II nails it.

I could not agree more, and the price is much lower at normal price
We are a lot in my head, but it's me the boss.

Does not work well with FL STUDIO, plug makes a crackling noise

you need to enable "use fixed size buffers" in the FL plugin wrapper settings, under troubleshooting.

This fixes the problem, but it's nonsense
vst needs a fix.

funny how the crappy sound of cassettes is now a "thing". other than transportatbility and that you could play them in the car, cassettes were probably the worst sounding format of all. Well maybe above the old very low bitrate mp3's.

I can tell you this plugin sounds nothing like tape, there is no low end at all, its like a HP at 200hz I had metal ferric tapes back in the day that sounded very hifi.

See above: you should definitely check out SketchCassette II.

Yeah i had just installed it 5 mins ago after reading your comment, yep that's bang how i recall. I did a lot of DnB in the 90s and we sampled from tape all the time. IC-IV but some times TYPE II. Thanks for your recommend, i skipped this based in the GUI and having DAWcasste which i thought was sort of ok. Yes SketchCassette is totally authentic.
I can see myself using this a lot just to fillter off that top end digitalness, plus its ok cpu.

Worse than 8-track? I hate to date myself here, but not only was 8-track tape terrible-sounding, it was also the worst consumer audio format to use. Sure, you didn't have to flip the tape over or rewind a reel ... you just had the "excitement" of mechanically punching in to different track positions on the tape if you wanted to listen to different songs (I believe it was usually two or three songs per stereo track for four stereo tracks, and if you did nothing, it would hop over to the next stereo set of tracks once it was done). And I've noticed that, while there are dozens of cassette and reel-to-reel tape emulations, vinyl emulations and low bitrate .mp3 emulations out there, no one has ever (and hopefully, will never) put out an 8-track tape emulation.

I won't even get into wire recorders ...

lol, just a bit before my time, saw them at jumble sales when i was kid and was always fascinated with the format, sort of Atari like.
