CHOW Tape Model is a physical model of an analog tape machine, implemented as an audio plugin. The model exposes parameters for tape distortion, playhead loss, wow and flutter, tape degradation, and more, and can emulate a wide range of tape machines and tape types, including the Sony TC-260 reel-to-reel.

CHOW Tape Model began as a class project for Music 420 at Stanford University (CCRMA) and resulted in an academic paper published at the 2019 DAFx conference. There are several supporting materials that may be interesting to users with a more technical background: Source code: https://github.com/jatinchowdhury18/AnalogTapeModel; Technical Paper: https://dafx2019.bcu.ac.uk/papers/DAFx2019_paper_3.pdf.

I have used CHOW Tools for over a year now and I am impressed!! Easy setup and easy to use. I have used CHOW tools in sound design, mixing and editing. They are great especially when I was a student and on a budget and I still use them from time to time over paid products.
