What it does
TAIP brings the organic and musical quality of analog tape into your computer. Audio plugin for all major DAW software, powered by AI.
Get TAIP by Baby Audio or download the free trial. TAIP is an AI-powered tape emulation plugin (VST, AU, AAX), that gives you the analog warmth, heat and saturation qualities of classic reel-to-reel tape machines. Get everything from subtle enhnacement to heavy saturation and lo-fi tape effects with the power and accuracy of AI.
We used machine learning to faithfully model the sound and non-linear behaviors of a classic 1970s tape machine. We then deconstructed these characteristics into separate features that can be combined in new ways to create custom tape flavors. Tape recordings have a natural thickness and glue to their sound that digital mixes often lack. TAIP brings you these characteristics without sonic compromises, utilizing AI for the most reliable tape emulation to date*. Unless you want to maintain a 600-pound hardware device in your studio, TAIP brings you the closest you can get to the reel thing. * Our AI model is ethically developed and trained on generic material such as sine sweeps and white…from babyaud.io

Hi Hacker News, This is definitely out of my comfort zone. I just wanted to show you guys because I'm super proud of it. It's a 100% faithful recreation based off of the schematics, patents, and ROMs that were found online. So please watch the video and tell me what you think https://youtu.be/auOlZXI1VxA The reason why I think this is relevant is because I've been a programmer for 25 years and AI scares the shit out of me. I'm not a programmer anymore. I'm something else now. I don't know what it is but it's multi-disciplinary, and it doesn't involve writing code myself--for…

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
