Tape Face by Kiive Audio delivers the rich character of a classic analog tape machine, bringing warmth and depth to digital recordings. Unlike many subtle tape emulations, Tape Face captures the distinct personality of a renowned Irish tape machine, known for its pleasing tonal coloration. This plugin adds authentic analog charm with a range of sonic imprints that enhance your tracks with vintage tape vibe and musical saturation.

Offering three unique modes, Tape Face caters to different tonal preferences. The first mode provides a pronounced tape effect ideal for drums and mix buses needing energy and transient control. The second mode is smoother and more transparent, perfect for gentle saturation and finishing touches. The third mode embraces a darker, gritty character designed for lo-fi styles, adding heavy saturation, harmonic richness, and tape compression. Additional controls like bias adjustment, tape speed variations, and saturation allow you to shape the low mids, harmonics, and frequency response beyond traditional tape machines.

Tape Face is designed to enhance a wide range of sources including vocals, guitars, synths, drums, and bass. Its CPU-efficient design lets you apply it liberally across your mix, whether on individual tracks or the mix bus. Features such as stereo width expansion, low boost to recover lost bass, and gain reduction metering give you precise control over tape compression and coloration. This plugin provides both subtle warmth and extreme tape effects, making it a powerful tool for adding analog tape character to any digital production.
