Fly Tape 2

Not compatible with beatmaker3

I really love this app a lot… i just wish that it will be a standalone where you can upload your tracks directly into it. It would be a plus if the developers could add even more effects than what it have. For people that like that SP-404 type of fx this would be good but not enough to satisfy your needs. I would like to emphasize that having 16 fx's would be a great addition for a Fly Tape 3 version!

Instead of having to have a host app why can’t you just use straight from koala sampler so that you won’t have to do a bunch of things to get it working as a plugin

it’s a really good plug-in and I’m enjoying it a lot, but I don’t know how to record the effect onto one of my tracks, it never really stays. and whenever I share my GarageBand song as a file none of the effects are there, and they turn off immediately after closing the song. Is there a way I can permanently get the effects onto a track?

This app is great to use “on the fly” but for studio production it’s basically worthless within a DAW, you can’t automate anything and the “on the fly” effects don’t get recorded.

This is 8 effects which at least 6 of them you already have, probably got for free, and sound better in those other apps. Most disappointing is the extreme lack of control of each effect. You’re met with something between one to eight presets essentially- no parameters other than noise amount and mix - which is not independent per effect. Even the tape warble is done better in free apps. Saying the warble is the best effect is disappointing because it’s pretty light and limited. 7 warp/wobble options and they don’t go deep like a real damaged tape. Lofi sounds rather ‘hi pass’. Reverse… ya it reverses The rest aren’t even worth saying anything. Why 3 stars? I don’t know. I’m generous. 1 because it works. 2 because it looks nice. 3 because…. Beats me

They don’t seem to advertise this in any of the videos, but this is for live apparently. It won’t actually let you modify or record the sounds in GarageBand

Can the plugin read automation after they create it? I used it with GarageBand iOS and want to put halftime on a specific part and idk how to do it!

This thing is a powerhouse. If you are looking for mobile 404-style FX look no further. Dropped a star because in my opinion this should have just been an update to the first Flytape, all these features should have been available from the get go. But that’s just my 2 cents and none of that takes away from how fantastic this app actually is, definitely will recommend to others

It’s good for applying tape degradation. Has more options than the original. It’s worth it if you like the original Fly Tape. This is a good plug-in if you like the MSXII sample pack sound quality and want to reproduce that yourself quickly.
