More than the essentials.

TAPE 24 keeps the direct, commit-first TAPE workflow and opens it up with more tracks, built-in processing, mix movement, and room to shape a production.

EQ + compression

Built-in channel strip.

Shape the sound at the source without stopping to build a plug-in chain. TAPE 24 puts equalisation and compression into the recording workflow, ready whenever a track needs more focus, weight, or control. More built-in plug-ins are coming in future updates.

Shape the tone.

Clear space, tame problem areas, or bring out body, presence, and air. Make broad, musical EQ moves while staying inside the tape-machine view.

Control the dynamics.

Even out a performance, rein in peaks, or add density and punch. Compression sits beside the track, so the mix can take shape as you record.

Movement + control

Automation.

Let the mix change with the song. Write moves over time, play them back with the session, and turn a static balance into a mix that follows the performance.

Build movement into the mix.

Bring a part forward for a moment, create smoother transitions, and shape the energy from section to section.

Keep the performance flowing.

Capture changes as part of the mix instead of stopping at every section. Refine the movement while the music keeps playing.

The fuller TAPE workflow.

The hands-on recording ideas from TAPE 16, with more space and more ways to finish the sound.

24 tracks, easy to share.

Destructive recording keeps session files relatively small and easy to send. Use the stock plug-ins and collaborators can open the session without installing matching third-party tools.

Bring your own plugins.

Add your favourite processors and instruments alongside the built-in channel strip for a deeper, more personal setup.

Print sounds to tape.

Record MIDI synths and desktop audio onto mono or stereo tracks, keeping samples, references, and performances in one session.

Tape character controls.

Reach for wow, flutter, saturation, tape age, and damage when the production needs movement, texture, or wear.

Varispeed.

Slow the tape down or speed it up, shifting pitch and pace together. Make subtle adjustments to find the right feel, or push further for classic tape-style effects.

Remote recording.

Arm tracks, drop markers, toggle record safe, and control the transport from another device in the room.

Templates and clear metering.

Set up repeatable sessions, see the state of the machine at a glance, and stay focused while the track count grows.

Built-in tuner.

Get in tune before the next take without leaving TAPE. Check pitch with the built-in tuner and keep the recording session moving.

Import and export.

Just want to use TAPE for tracking? Import audio to record alongside, capture your takes, then export individual tracks to your preferred DAW for editing and mixing.

User themes (coming soon).

Make the machine your own. Support for user themes is coming to TAPE 24, with more ways to personalise its look.

Focus Mode

Give the music your full attention. Keep TAPE full-screen and block normal app switching, hiding, and quitting. Choose a timed session or no time limit; type a randomly generated 30-character challenge to unlock early. For MacOS only.

Common questions.

When will TAPE 24 be available?

What tools are built in?

TAPE 24 includes EQ, compression, automation, and additional plug-ins for shaping your sound. More built-in plug-ins are coming in future updates.

Does TAPE 24 use destructive recording?

Yes. Recording over a section replaces the audio, and there is no undo.

Sessions using the stock plug-ins can be opened without collaborators needing matching third-party tools.
