SketchCassette
SketchCassette II is a VST3 audio plugin from Aberrant DSP that emulates the character and lo-fi warmth of vintage cassette tape machines. It offers 12 tape-type profiles, age modeling, tape saturation, hiss, dropouts, wow and flutter effects with tempo sync, and noise-reduction compression. The plugin is designed for producers and audio engineers who want to add tape warmth, saturation and vintage color to vocal, drum, instrumental and mix tracks. SketchCassette II is available as a VST3, AU, and AAX plugin for both macOS and Windows.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSketchCassette II already ships with native Apple Silicon support in both its VST3 and AU versions — Aberrant DSP confirmed this in a February 2021 update addressing Big Sur and M1 Macs. If you are running an older version of the plugin under Rosetta emulation, update to the latest build from Aberrant DSP's installer or your DAW's plugin manager. The vendor distributes SketchCassette II directly from aberrantdsp.com; download and run the macOS installer for your format (VST3 or AU), then restart your digital audio workstation to load the native build. If you use the AAX version, note that Avid added native AAX support later, so make sure your copy of Pro Tools is also on a current native build (Pro Tools 2023.6 or later) before installing the AAX version of SketchCassette II.
