What Does Tapeboy Include?
Built-In Background Sound Effects ⛈️
Advanced LO-FI SFX Mode
As producers ourselves we recognize the important role ambient sound effects play in our music. We also know how uninspiring it is to stop our music to locate high quality samples to set the vibes right. With Tapeboy you can choose from 9 ambient SFX such as classic vinyl crackles, chill rainstorms, and laid back café chatter to bring listeners into your world.
Lo-Fi Sync Button
In our latest update we allow you to not only determine how loud you would like your sound effects to be, but we also give you the option of whether or not to sync them to your audio.

Wobble & Duck 📼
Wobble Wheel
What is a tape emulator without WOW & Flutter?
Determine how much digital pitch variation you would like to add to your samples by adjusting the wobble wheel.
Ducking
Also something you rarely see in tape emulators that Hip Hop & Lo-Fi producers use religiously is the ability to automate velocity ducks within your samples. Tapeboy not only allows you to determine the amount of ducking you would like to add samples, but will also allow you to manipulate the rate at which you duck your samples (1/2, 1/4, 1/1)
