Tape Deco is a 64-bit Windows VST3 focused on characterful analog-style echoes. While Tape Deco can do the basics of a delay unit, this is not its forte – if you are looking for simple delay lines, might I suggest my 2020 Modulating Delay. That said, the default Tape Deco setting on just about anything is lovely (save those flat piano samples).
Put it on anything, put it on everything!
Purchase:
Tape Deco is available from my Ko-fi account for $5 (or more). Please be sure to fully watch & understand the video for both installation and how Tape Deco works.
Demo:
There is no demo but there are plenty of my VST that you can try to see if you dig my style.
Tape Deco is about building fat choruses and stellar clusters of 1974 space echoes – just call ’em reverbs. I deliberately made the architecture more like that found in pre-90s units, therefore very much unlike the usual suspects VST which are mostly designed to be safe (and as a result only deliver the same safe results). Anyone can use Tape Deco but it is going to suit outward-bound space explorers best. Put it on anything, put it on everything!
RTFM & Support
If you installed Tape Deco properly it will work. Therefore if it is not working, it wasn’t installed right, undo whatever you did, re-watch the video on installation, and check your DAW’s RTFM on installing & running VST3.
As noted on the video the signal flow is not exactly correct as the feedback path is pre-A-B Mix (not post as shown).
If you really need support – after watching the video – support is only/ever provided through the relevant YouTube video conversation. IF you ask here, PM me etc. I will refer you back to the YouTube video comments. Ask there first 🙂
