The Tape FX Black Friday deal from Thenatan Audio takes 87% off this lo-fi multi-effect plugin, which comes to $10 until Nov 19, 2026.
The maker describes Tape FX as a vintage-style cassette simulator, built around the cassettes and cassette players it calls the most famous of all time.
It packs 7 effect units into one plugin, so a tape-and-lo-fi chain lives on a single insert instead of a stack of separate processors.
Tape FX runs your audio through a cassette-style signal path with six cassette types to pick from. The maker says each type gives different sonic characteristics, and it adds real-life cassette hiss or low-fidelity hardware behaviour.
Three of the cassette types are described by their source:
The plugin can be used on music productions and mixes, and the maker also points to video audio post-production.
Each unit can be dialed in on its own:
The built-in effect list also names a stereo widener, and Mix, Input and Output controls sit on top for gain staging.
The interface is vector-based, drawn entirely in code with no PNG images. The maker says that keeps it sharp and smooth when you resize it up to 200%.
Animations and in/out VU meters are included, so you can watch the level going into and out of the tape stage.
A preset browser ships with 70 factory presets, and patches can be shared. Tape FX is available for Mac and PC, and the maker says all updates are compatible.
