(August 21, 2007) – DUY is pleased to announce that the popular DaD Tape plug-in is now also available for Windows XP RTAS users, following a growing demand from users.

About DUY DaD Tape:
DUY DaD Tape was originally developed in the mid-90s to satisfy the needs of digital recording technology, and escape the “cold digital recording media”. To achieve the desired results, four of the most representative tape machines in the market were physically modelled. DUY also simulated 3 of the most common noise reduction systems, and even added a proprietary noiseless-tape mode. All these features are integrated into DUY DaD Tape, along with a switch that allows to switch between tape speeds. The plug-in has become a standard when it gets to delivering an analog tape character to a final mix or a section.

DUY’s DaD Tape has been used on endless number 1 productions worlwide, by the best engineers and producers in the world. Madonna, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Anastacia, Ricky Martin, Elton John or The Black Eyed Peas are some of the voices who represent the sound of the music mixed with DaD Tape.

DaD Tape’s features:

• Real analog tape sound, with classic warmth, within the digital domain, and with characteristics and control impossible to achieve in conventional tape recorders.
  
• Modelling of the four most representative tape recorders on the market: an old vintage machine with valve circuitry, a transistor-based machine of the late 60's, an operational amplifier-based machine of the 70's and a machine of the latest generation.
  
• Simulation of the three most common noise reduction systems, plus a proprietary noiseless-tape mode.
  
• Switchable tape speed (7 1/2 ips - 15 ips - 30 ips) allows maximum control and even permits unusual combinations of tape recorders and speeds.
  
• Easy and intuitive user interface.
  

DaD Tape Applications:
