Rewind to the '80s With This VHS-inspired, Lo-fi Sonic Manipulator
Warp your tracks in a blanket of 1980s nostalgia with the Super VHS lo-fi plug-in from Baby Audio. Based on the satisfyingly degraded sound of abused tapes checked out from long-defunct video rental stores, the Super VHS provides a fun and intuitive way to add warble, warmth, and grit to any sound source. Six tasty one-knob, vintage-inspired effects are on deck, including a super crispy saturator, a grainy reverb, a pitch drift LFO, a sample reducer, and a chorus so wide it needs letter boxing! Producers and sound designers at Sweetwater tap into the Super VHS’s 6-pack of sonic manipulators to crunch up drums, animate virtual instruments, and unleash general-purpose weirdifying. With its knob or slider per function interface, the Super VHS invites unstructured tweaking — but feel free to snap off the figurative write-protection tabs by saving your favorite custom presets. Be kind; rewind to the '80s with the Baby Audio Super VHS plug-in!
