Baby Audio TAIP

Warm up your sound

AI-modeled tape plugin
We used machine learning to faithfully model the sound and non-linear behaviors of a classic 1970s tape machine. We then deconstructed these characteristics into separate features that can be combined in new ways to create custom tape flavors.

FEATURES

• The most faithful tape emulation plugin yet, based on machine learning

• Add silky warmth and analog saturation that begs to be driven hard

• Versatile feature set lets you customize any tape flavor for any creative need

Sounds exactly like the reel thing
Tape recordings have a natural thickness and glue to their sound that digital mixes often lack. TAIP brings you these characteristics without sonic compromises, utilizing AI for the most reliable tape emulation to date*.

Unless you want to maintain a 600-pound hardware device in your studio, TAIP brings you the closest you can get to the reel thing.

* Our AI model is ethically developed and trained on generic material such as sine sweeps and white noise.

Go beyond ordinary tape
TAIP allows you to go beyond what is normally possible with tape emulation plugins.

Drive it hard for saturation and distortion effects. Exaggerate the 'glue' behavior to turn TAIP into a de-facto compressor. Add wear, noise, and warble for lo-fi effects. Or get a more hi-fi sound with the low and high preservation filters.

We made TAIP flexible enough that you can dial in any tape flavor for any need and use the plugin creatively.
