RTNeural Tape Bus Plugin

This plugin emulates the behavior of analog hardware and magnetic tape when driven into non-linear saturation. It adds bus-style analog coloration and the characteristic high-frequency compression associated with tape recording, helping sounds feel denser, smoother, and more naturally glued into a mix. The auto-gain fader increases the effect intensity without significantly changing output level, making it easy to dial in subtle or more obvious tape character on buses, vocals, synths, or acoustic instruments. It was developed using RTNeural and the JUCE Framework.
