Tape Delay is a delay plugin from Antelope Audio that recreates the warm, analog sound of vintage tape delay machines. It runs on Windows and macOS and offers four switchable tape types.
Tape Delay is built for producers who want the character of classic tape echo inside a modern session. Antelope Audio based the plugin on the sound of vintage hardware, including its imperfections and analog color, and paired it with flexible modern controls. It is aimed at adding depth and space to instruments, vocals and other sources. The plugin is part of the developer's effects range and draws on its earlier Reel-to-Reel plugin.
Tape Delay includes four switchable tape types, so you can choose the vintage color that suits the instrument or track you are processing.
The delay can lock to the BPM of your session, or you can set the time manually in milliseconds or with the Tap button. That makes it practical for keeping echoes in time with a project while still allowing free-running timing when you want it.
Ping-Pong Mode bounces the repeats between the left and right channels to widen the stereo image. Antelope Audio describes the plugin as usable either subtly, for light spatial depth, or pushed further for more experimental and abstract effects.
Because the controls are kept flexible, the same plugin can cover both understated room-like echo and more unusual rhythmic textures.
