OUR CHRISTMAS 2025 GIFT TO YOU
HoRNet TapeLite is 100% FREE.No trial period, no hidden costs, no strings attached. Just our way of saying thank you to the audio community for another amazing year….
That’s Where TapeLite Comes In
HoRNet TapeLite brings back the non-linear behavior of magnetic tape. It adds the harmonic distortion, the subtle compression, and the frequency bumps that act as the “glue” for your tracks.Authentic Emulation: Based on the legendary Otari MX80.
Two Speeds: Selectable 15 IPS and 30 IPS modes.
High Quality: Fixed 4x oversampling for pristine audio.
THE CHARACTER
We didn’t just model “generic tape.” We modeled a specific classic professional tape machine.Why this one? It was the workhorse of the late analog era. It’s known for being cleaner than 60s tube machines but having more “vibe” than early digital recorders. It hits the perfect sweet spot: punchy low end, smooth highs, and a saturation curve that feels musical, not broken.
15 IPS VS 30 IPS
Tape speed changes the physics of how sound is magnetized onto the reel. TapeLite gives you both classic options.
