Description
Experience the iconic sound of vintage cassette tapes with OCS-45 Cassette Simulation, a plugin that delivers all the lo-fi imperfections and warmth of analog tape. Choose from four meticulously modeled cassette types—each with its unique character—and layer pitch modulation, background noise, and dropouts to recreate the quirks of classic tape recordings. OCS-45 combines nostalgic authenticity with a modern interface, letting you craft retro tones with ease.
Beyond cassette simulation, OCS-45 excels as a distortion powerhouse, offering five distinct modes: Tube, Diode, Soft Clip, Saturation, and Downsample. From subtle harmonic warmth to aggressive clipping, you can shape your sound using the Drive and Tone controls to suit your creative vision. Each effect module comes equipped with independent Dry/Wet and Bypass options, giving you total control over your signal chain and enabling endless creative possibilities.
Dive deeper into the lo-fi charm with Wow/Flutter for wobbly pitch effects, Dropouts for random volume cuts, and Noise to add authentic tape hiss. Whether you’re working on bass-heavy tracks, treble-rich audio, or dynamic soundscapes, OCS-45 lets you bring your music to life with the tactile, imperfect magic of vintage cassette tapes—all while delivering the precision and flexibility of modern production tools.

Installs fine, but nothing shows up.

As for the other reviewer: says it is successfully installed but does not show up in the application. At the same time I downloaded and installed the MuseFX plugins and these showed up and worked fine...
Installed fine, but now it does not show up anywhere, including not as a plugin for adding to the master mixer. Thus useless.
This is one of the best vintage cassette tape vibe plugins I've used, especially with my low budget. I usually pair it with Cymatics Deja Vu for a really relaxed and chill sound.
