## What is DAW Cassette?

DAW Cassette is an Audio Unit effect that emulates the sound of a classic tape deck. The intuitive and easy-to-use controls make it a versatile tool for adding warmth and character to a specific track or your entire mix.

Features:

• Control the noise level (High, Low, Off)
• Tape-, head- and motor* quality knobs for dialling in the perfect sound
• Additional input gain, output gain and dry/wet mix parameters for convenience

### 5/5 — very nice

*2025-12-10*

I love how this app adds the tape emulation to your music. Could you do the same thing with DAW LP? I want that to work with my Iphone.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-03-19*

Can import songs also! Super cool just wish it had more effects

### 1/5 — Not What I Expected.

*2024-10-17*

A costly app. which doesn’t do much. Put your money towards a real refurbed deck if you want to experience this awesome format.

### 1/5 — Does it work alone?

*2020-07-06*

Like just on the app alone? Can I have my money back the website version misled me

### 5/5 — 単体では起動しませんよ

*2020-06-09*

最高です。もっと評価高くって良いと思います、、、
単体では起動せずガーレジバンドなどのdaw内のプラグインで使えますよ

### 4/5 — Useful

*2019-07-26*

It’s very useful, and can add a great warmth to your tracks. It can also be very helpful with distortion at end game on near finished projects, I like the ability manipulate a few aspects of tape sound, but in my opinion 8$ is an overcharge. On my pc i can get free tape au’s that have a wider range of ability in service to accomplish a similar or near better sound. VERY USEFUL, but i wish we had more to this au. Thank you daw cassette.

### 4/5 — 使い方について。

*2019-05-21*

このアプリはauv3というエフェクトなのでアプリ自体で起動する事が出来ません。ガレージバンドでの使用例ですが、まずガレージバンド上にエフェクトをかけたい音楽を適当に貼り付けます。その後、エフェクトをかけたいパートに色が付いている事を確認したら歯車のマークからトラックとコントロールを選び、「プラグインとEQ」を開きます。そして右上の編集を押してなしの部分の＋をタップして「Audiounits拡張機能」を押すと、DAW CASSETTEがあるので、それをタップします。そうするとようやくこのアプリが使用できます。

### 1/5 — 最低

*2018-09-25*

起動しない

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-07-31*

Love it please keep it updated

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2018-06-22*

After trying to buy a few used tape recorders from eBay and them all failing to work, this came out at the right time for me. The emulation is very realistic! Amazing app! :)
