The Rate controls the speed of deviation and the Depth controls the amount added to your sound. Flutter is deviating the pitch and simulating the movement of tape warping across the recording heads. Adjust this to get that perfectly imperfect wobble. Wow simulates the irregularities in speed you might get from a tape machine motor. Even though the original tape machines didn’t have a delay function, engineers back in the day would route different machines for slap/feedback echo effects. Tape delay can create a sense of atmosphere to your sound.
Dial in a little noise to brings a subtle analog machine character to your sound for a greater lo-fi effect. Wow is perceived as a change in pitch, whereas flutter is perceived as tonal degradation, since it produces harmonic overtones (more on this later!) Noise gives you that tape hiss and added analog flavour. Wow & Flutter generates that detuned, wobbly and worn feeling identifiable with retro sound. Flux simulates the amount of magnetic radiation emitted from the record head on to the tape.This translates into that desirable, dirty thickness of tape distortion. Nominal Bias helps produce the low-level noise and saturation for a bigger, lusher sound. For some lo-fi warmth, slow it down from 15 ips to 7.5 ips to reduce the brightness and boost the lows. A lo-fi sound is typically generated at slower tape speeds. To take things a little back in time, insert a mono plugin component on your virtual instrument track.
The stereo spread of hi-fidelity is what we want to get a little bit away from.
