Wow & Flutter recreates the characteristic playback speed variations of analog tape machines, adding authentic vintage warmth and character to digital audio. By modulating the playback speed in real time, this effect introduces subtle pitch fluctuations reminiscent of the imperfections found in pre-digital recordings. Its intuitive interface allows users to directly control the depth and rate of pitch deviation, making it easy to craft the desired nostalgic vibe.

The plugin offers a dual mode where left and right channels are modulated independently, enhancing stereo depth and movement. A unique flange mode blends the modulated signal with the original, generating classic flange effects that evoke the sound of engineers manually manipulating tape reels. Additional controls for feedback and delay enable more intense flange textures, while a built-in compressor prevents digital clipping even at extreme settings, ensuring smooth and musical results.

Designed for seamless integration into any workflow, Wow & Flutter includes a test tone generator for quick preset evaluation and can be fully automated via MIDI controllers with customizable assignments. Controls that do not affect the sound in certain modes are hidden to maintain a clean user interface. This combination of authentic analog warmth and modern flexibility makes it an essential tool for producers seeking to add vintage character without sacrificing control or clarity.
