What is Wavesfactory Cassette v1.0.1?

Wavesfactory Cassette v1.0.1 is a tape emulation plugin that recreates the sound of different cassette tapes and decks. It allows you to choose from four types of tapes (I, II, III and IV), each with its own frequency response and harmonic distortion characteristics. You can also select from three types of decks (Pro, Home and Micro), each with its own wow and flutter, noise and artifacts behavior.

The plugin offers a simple and intuitive interface that lets you adjust the tape quality, stability, bias, saturation, pre-emphasis and hiss parameters. You can also use the input and output gain controls to fine-tune the level and drive of the signal. Additionally, you can enable the clipping function to prevent the output from exceeding 0 dB.

Wavesfactory Cassette v1.0.1 is not only a decoration tool or a signal degradation device. It can also be used as a creative tool to add movement, texture and depth to your sounds. You can use it on individual tracks, buses or even on the master channel to give your mix a cohesive and vintage vibe.

How to use Wavesfactory Cassette v1.0.1?

There is no right or wrong way to use Wavesfactory Cassette v1.0.1, as it depends on your personal taste and musical goals. However, here are some general tips and tricks that can help you get started:

• Experiment with different tape types and deck modes to find the best combination for your sound. For example, type I tapes tend to have more low-end and less high-end than type IV tapes, while pro decks tend to have less wow and flutter than micro decks.

• Use the quality knob to control the amount of tape degradation and artifacts. The lower the quality, the more noise, dropouts, crosstalk and azimuth errors you will hear.

• Use the stability knob to control the amount of wow and flutter. The lower the stability, the more pitch variations and modulation you will hear.

• Use the bias knob to control the amount of high-frequency distortion and compression. The higher the bias, the more bright and saturated the sound will be.

• Use the saturation knob to control the amount of harmonic distortion and soft clipping. The higher the saturation, the more warm and distorted the sound will be.

• Use the pre-emphasis knob to control the amount of high-frequency boost before recording and low-frequency cut after playback. The higher the pre-emphasis, the more bright and clear the sound will be.

• Use the hiss knob to control the amount of tape noise. The higher the hiss, the more noisy and lo-fi the sound will be.

• Use the input gain knob to control the level of the signal before entering the tape emulation circuit. The higher the input gain, the more drive and saturation you will get.

Use the output gain knob to control the level of the signal after leaving the tape emulation circuit. The higher

the output gain, the louder and brighter

• the sound will be.

Use

the hard clipping function
