Tape Double Track: Free Plugin Inspired by ADT Technique

AIR Music Tech has unveiled their latest creation, Tape Double Track, a new plugin designed to emulate the Automatic Double Tracking (ADT) effect. First developed in 1966, ADT revolutionized the way music was recorded by creating the illusion of double-tracked performances without the need for artists to re-record. This plugin is set to be available for free until December 7th, 2025, providing an accessible tool for music creators everywhere.

The ADT effect was first utilized by John Lennon and became widely popular through The Beatles’ recordings. It utilizes tape delay, varispeed, and modulation to enrich vocals, guitars, and various instruments with depth and width. The Tape Double Track plugin seeks to honor this classic technique while integrating modern flexibility for today’s producers.

Key Features

• True ADT Behavior: Tape delay and oscillator-driven varispeed for authentic Abbey Road sound.
• Expanded Modulation: Offers sine, triangle, and random modulation shapes with adjustable warp.
• Randomize Heads & Recalibrate: Emulates the unpredictability of tape playback.
• Channel Control: Features independent pan, drive, mute, phase, and level controls for both source and double-track channels.
• Low-End Options: Bass Mono and Solo Bass toggles with frequency control for tighter mixes.
• MPC + DAW Integration: Compatible with both standalone MPC hardware and all major DAWs.

From November 27th through December 7th, 2025, users can download Tape Double Track for free, a plugin valued at $99.99. It is fully compatible with macOS and Windows systems, ensuring wide accessibility for users of different platforms.
