一句话定位：它不是磁带机，是时间机器——用真实磁带的”不完美”给声音注入即时怀旧感。
| 核心建模 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 4 种磁带类型 | Type I（氧化铁 Fe₂O₃，1960s）、Type II（二氧化铬 CrO₂，1970s）、Type III（铬铁 FeCr，70s中期–80s初）、Type IV（金属，70s末）——换磁带 = 换整套频率响应+饱和+底噪性格 |
| 磁带指纹 | 频率相关饱和、高频压缩、嘶嘶声、粗糙噪声，全部来自对大量真实录音信号的详尽分析建模 |
| 播放系统指纹 | Wow、Flutter、随机高频损失、通道串扰、立体声不平衡——所有”小怪癖”逐一建模 |
| Re-Cassette | 创新参数，让录音带听起来像……录音带 |
| Random Snap | 模拟磁带瞬间捕获引起的音高不稳定 |
| 过采样 | 内部 192 kHz 运行，消除混叠 |
| 可缩放 GUI | 界面大小可调 |
| Tape Type 自动化 | 本次更新新增 |

一句话判断：如果你要的是”把真实磁带的所有不完美都装进一个插件”——Cassette 是目前最彻底的选择。不是加一层染色，是让声音真的像从一盘旧磁带里放出来的。
REWIND BACK IN TIME WITH CASSETTE. Cassette is an audio plugin that imparts the unique character and sonic imprint of an often maligned recording medium. A one that offers a sound like nothing else and that I’m in love with. This is not a tape machine, this is a time machine.
IT’S IN OUR DNA
An entire generation heard the music that shaped their lives on cassette tape.
I grew up listening to them at home, on the car or on a walkman.
They are not perfect, in fact, they are far from perfect.
That’s what I love about them.
A LOVE LETTER TO SIMPLE THINGS
This is my tribute to the sound that shaped my childhood.
I discovered the passion for music between quirks and random fluctuations.
Watching the meters move as I sung into an old microphone.
Red peaks and analog saturation. Rewind, listen again
No pencil needed
Cassette is an audio plugin that emulates the sound of vintage cassette tapes and decks. It has been carefully modelled after exhaustive analysis of a high number of sound signals recorded into real tapes. As a result, we get the same sound and behaviour of the original units.
Magnetic tape is not a sterile media. Because of that, it will impart its own sound signature to signals recorded into it. These include a different frequency response, frequency dependent saturation, high-frequency compression, hiss, asperity noise and much more.
Reproduction systems will also induce their fingerprint: wow, flutter, random high-frequency loss, crosstalk between channels, stereo unbalances and other.
All of these little quirks and random fluctuations have been modelled meticulously. Cassette imprints instant nostalgia, movement and analog feel all around in its path.
