HoRNet Tape delivers an authentic magnetic tape simulation that brings the warmth and character of vintage analog recordings to your tracks. This plugin emulates the unique saturation and frequency response of four iconic tape machines, each available at two distinct tape speeds. By replicating the subtle harmonic distortion and tonal coloration that tape imparts, it helps recreate the classic sound that defined music from the 1960s through the 1980s.

The saturation behavior in HoRNet Tape varies across the frequency spectrum, producing a natural thickness in low frequencies while adding distinctive high-frequency shimmer often described as a 'shhh' effect. Users can adjust the tape bias to further shape the saturation characteristics, enhancing the vintage vibe. The plugin also simulates the frequency response of tape decks including the playback head and internal electronics, with tape speed influencing tonal balance by shifting frequency emphasis.

Designed for use on individual tracks or entire mixes, HoRNet Tape features Auto Gain technology to maintain consistent recording levels and output compensation for accurate level monitoring. Its grouping function enables synchronized control of multiple instances, streamlining workflow across complex sessions. Compatible with major plugin formats and both Mac and Windows systems, this tool offers an accessible way to infuse your productions with the rich sound of analog tape.
