See moreAnalogue tape recording is known for its warmth, low end punch and smooth saturation (Robjohns, 2010). This project aims to simulate some of the characteristics of analogue tape recording using digital signal processing in MATLAB. Three characteristics were chosen that are idiosyncratic to the sound of analogue tape recording – tape saturation, low end head bumps and the pitch modulation effects wow and flutter. An analysis of how these occur in an actual analogue tape machine was conducted. This analysis was used in the selection, application and modification of existing digital signal processes to achieve an authentic sounding simulation.
