🔥 Baby Audio Taip Only $9 + FREE Plugin

[LinkedMusicians]

This was on sale for more than 3x as much over the summer at Plugin Alliance. Baby Audio Taip is an AI-powered analog tape effect that lists at $99, but is on sale for $9.99 until December 8th, but if you buy it from Audio Deluxe and use the code BFCM10, you’ll get it for only $9 + you’ll earn and can use loyalty cash to further reduce the price + you’ll get your choice between 4 excellent quality, premium plugins.

It’s $9.99 over at Plugin Boutique, but you’ll earn and can use their loyalty cash to further reduce the price PLUS you’ll have your choice between two premium plugins free with purchase — in case you prefer those to the ones at Audio Deluxe.

I own probably a dozen paid tape plugins from UAD, XLN Audio, Softube, Waves, and others. Yet, I am pulled into this one based on demos.

“Hi, my name is Peter and I’m a plugin and sample library hoarder. On the last scan, I had more than effects 450 plugins installed. Talk me out of it, unless you think this one really offers something special, @MrFigg.  I’ll try the demo later.

Honestly Pete i wouldnt bother. Does it do anything your other plugins don’t? I doubt it. The GUI is pretty horrible too i think. If you really want something tapey and cool then Audiothing Reels and Wires arw two of my favourites. Klevgrand cassette is nice. My ultimate top tape plugin is Tapewave by Wave Alchemy. That is definitely worth the money. It’s on sale just now too. Domt buy Taip just becasuse its ”only” $9. Put that towards the Wave Alchemy one would be my advice. Hope that helps. 🙂

Yeah, I think, between watching the video from the above influencer — who is now a manager at iZotope — who had the takeway that the Baby Audio plugin doesn’t really make great use of AI (I think he did the video before starting at iZotope, if not, that’s a major conflict of interest to not mention that he was reviewing a competitor), I suppose I’ll pass. I had picked up XLN RCS-20 because a developer friend raved about it, but it didn’t really accomplish the kind of subtle vintage vibe I was looking for out of the box. I haven’t spent much time with UAD’s similar analog tape plugin, but I suppose I’ll commit to spending more time with it before picking up another plugin just like it. Thanks, @MrFigg. It turns out that starting a site with a deals forum isn’t a good fit for someone with a plugin / sample library hoarding addiction. Who could have known? 😉

Doubling @mrfigg and all his recommendations

Also, XLN RC-20 is highly tweakable and has tons of additional presets made by indie sound designers, both paid and free, so that alone can get you way more interesting results than TAIP. And if you are after particularly subtle tapey type, Softube is king
