Dual Tape Decks Description

Will simulate two tape decks playing identical tapes, but out of synchronisation with each other. Written to produce an effect I heard in the late 1970s: I recorded then played identical audio on two mono tape decks. There was an amazing "whooshing" effect as one tape deck "caught up" with and passed what the other tape deck was playing. This plug-in allows the "whooshing" to go back and forth. Different effects are made using mono-sounding vs. "true" stereo audio. The plug-in can produce some interesting stereo effects, though note that due to the greater "cross-talk" of speakers, listening in speakers and headphones will sound different. Stereo flanger-like effects can be made by (for example) applying dualtapedecks.ny to audio, applying Stereo Butterfly (static) with a spread value of zero (sounds mono after applying), then applying dualtapedecks.ny a second time with the same settings as the first time. This plug-in will work on mono audio as well, but the only effect will be rising and falling changes in pitch and tempo. Parameters: 1. LFO frequency: 2. Starting phase: 3. Phase difference: 4. Depth: - The larger depth is, the more pronounced the pitch and tempo shift become until there is a noticeable warble.
