Slowed + reverb
Slowed + reverb in one click: SUBTLE, CLASSIC and HEAVY presets based on the popular edits, a real hall with size, decay, pre-delay, damping and width, and your own sounds saved as presets.
ANALOG SOUL. DIGITAL POSSIBILITIES.
TapeTalk — record
anything your PC plays.
Even the 30 seconds before you hit REC. TapeTalk names and splits every song for you, cleans up hum and crackle, and saves tagged MP3, WAV, OGG or AAC, from a cassette deck that looks the part.

01 / MAKE IT YOURS
Ten finishes.
One deck.
Brushed silver, walnut, cherry lacquer, 8-track woodgrain, interrogation-room grey, polygraph cream, Future Tech glass, alien hardware, 1940s Bakelite, and Studio black.
CherrySame app. A different character.
02 / THE TAPE WAS ALREADY ROLLING
Hit REC.
It already caught
the start.
TapeTalk keeps the last 30 seconds of what your PC plays, in memory only. REC starts the take with them, so you never miss the start of the song you loved.
−00:30BEFORE YOU HIT REC
03 / FROM A SESSION TO AN ALBUM
Every song, named and split.
While you record, TapeTalk reads what your music app or browser tells Windows is playing (title, artist, album and cover) and starts a new track at every song change, in the quiet between the songs. Save as an album: one file per song, ‘03 - Song Title’, tagged, with the cover art.
No song info? It splits at the silences, or press MARK to start a new song yourself.
04 / MORE THAN A RECORD BUTTON
A whole studio.
In a tape deck.
Record, shape, clean up and save.
A few familiar controls. Room to go further.
Clean up
Take out mains hum (50 or 60 Hz, found for you), clicks and crackle, and hiss. UNDO brings the original back.
Record on your time
Record at 9:00 pm for an hour, or until 11:00. The PC is kept awake until it’s done.
A real mixer
Advanced mode: up to 16 tracks, each with EQ, compressor, pan, speed and slowed + reverb.
A little tape character
TAPE on the master: saturation, head bump, wow and flutter.
Build a whole tape
Record onto one track while the others play, then save the mix, stems that line up in your DAW, or the whole tape.
BATCH CONVERT / MORE FORMATS IN 1.4.3
A whole folder,
converted.
Drop in files or a folder and turn them all into WAV, FLAC, MP3, OGG or AAC (.m4a). Every file is a cassette, its tape winding as it converts. Your originals are never changed, and titles, artists, albums and covers come along where both formats can hold them.
Files or folders5 output formatsOptional 5.1 / 7.1 → stereoIncluded in your licence
From a file to a folder full.
Open LOAD → Batch Convert files… in Simple or Advanced mode. Choose your format, quality and output folder, then Convert All. Progress is shown for every file, and completed files are kept if you cancel.
Reads WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and MP3. Multichannel mixdown is optional and off by default. Also reads M4A/AAC, WMA and ALAC using Windows codecs. Opus input needs Microsoft’s free Web Media Extensions. Windows N editions need the Media Feature Pack for Windows-based codecs.

New in 1.4.3: More input formats, including M4A/AAC, WMA and ALAC, optional Opus support, and a manual Check for updates button. Read the release notes ↗
Can I convert files I already have?
Yes. Open LOAD > Batch Convert files… in Simple or Advanced mode. Read WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis or MP3 and write WAV, FLAC, MP3, OGG or AAC (.m4a). Enable MIX DOWN TO STEREO for supported multichannel files, including 5.1 and 7.1. Also read M4A/AAC, WMA and ALAC through Windows. Opus input requires Microsoft’s free Web Media Extensions.
Will my existing code work with version 1.4.3?
Yes. Version 1.4.3 uses the same activation system. Your existing valid code works on the same PC, and Batch Convert is included without another purchase.
Can it record Spotify, YouTube, Twitch, games…?
It records anything your PC plays through Windows. Please record only what you have the right to, and respect the terms of the services you use.
Does it use my microphone?
Never. It only records what your PC plays.
Does it go online or collect data?
TapeTalk works offline. It checks online only when you click its badge, then CHECK FOR UPDATES. The request contains no Machine ID, activation code or recordings. There are no app accounts or tracking. Downloads and licence purchases use this website; Stripe processes checkout.
Will it name my songs automatically?
Yes, when the app playing them tells Windows what’s playing (Spotify, browsers and most media players do). Otherwise it splits at the silences, or you press MARK.
Does it work with Cubase or my DAW?
Drag a selection, a track or the whole mix out of TapeTalk onto a track in your DAW. It can’t record a DAW’s own output when the DAW plays through an ASIO driver (that bypasses Windows); use the DAW’s export for that.
Mac?
Windows only for now.
What happens after the 14 days?
TapeTalk asks for an activation code. Copy the Machine ID shown in TapeTalk and enter it with your name at checkout. Your code appears automatically on the payment confirmation page. Paste the code into TapeTalk on that PC using the same name.
