DAW Cassette is an Audio Unit effect designed to replicate the distinctive sound character of classic tape decks. It offers a range of controls that allow users to infuse tracks or entire mixes with a warm, vintage tape ambiance. By simulating tape and head wear, it can effectively age and add depth to audio signals.

Users can select between metal, chrome, or normal tape types to shape the tonal qualities of their sound. Additional features include Dolby A and Dolby K weighting options, which provide authentic noise reduction characteristics from analog tape processing. Input and output gain controls, alongside a dry/wet mix, offer precise blending and level management.

The effect also enables creative modulation by adjusting motor quality settings, which can introduce subtle flanging effects when combined with the dry/wet mix control. This makes it suitable both for gentle warmth and more pronounced tape-based effects, enhancing the texture and character of audio productions.
