Imagine a nerd being born in 2030. By 2040 that brain might be interested in vintage compact cassette. How will it experience that ludicrous piece of plastic which brought us so much joy, freedom and happiness? We will build a little archive to help with that.
In 2021 we have TMI, FOMO, Covid-19 and what not. But what about a relaxing, surrealistic and calming meditation 24/7 on demand? We create Tape-Meditation for nerds.
If you listen to music from a vinyl record or real compact cassette tape, there is one major difference to listening on your phone: you can SEE it go round-and-round… “like a record baby”… To us, music, which made a real “analog experience'” via compact cassette tape is spiced up with happiness and life. We enchant your music with that, too.
We will share pictures and videos of vintage compact cassette tapes. Our focus is on Type IV (metal) tapes.
Relax with our Tape-Meditation nerd videos at YouTube with different camera angles and ASMR unpacking experience.
We enchant your beloved music tracks or STEMs with the real premium vintage tape sound. With Love.

Is the tape effect unique? That’s an interesting question. We can talk so long about this, I still use real compressors to master, 1178, 9098 and 2la2a are in my collection and they are my favorites (actually I loved 670s I tried in studios, but never had a chance to buy one).
Can we get similar results using a plugin? Yes in some cases, but something is definitely missing on software. I can’t tell what it is exactly, the comfort and the relief you feel when you insert these to master cannot be recreated by software somehow. Tapes also does that to my ears.
