ghosts on tape

By Jason Nijjer on May 3, 2026 9:39 pm

Quite happy with this one, started with a preset called ghost on tape, that sort of set the tone for the track.  Used lots of different tape emulators on the different tracks, would be nice to actually record to tape and get the "real" effect.  It's starting to get sunny and warm outside, hope everyone gets to enjoy the outdoors this week and maybe listen to some music outside.

this is really beautiful!

A beautiful haunting melody combined with the slick head nodder of a groove.  Love the vocal stutters and tape fx.  Excellent work!

so nice. got the windows open, just gonna loop this a bit

Ghostly and beautiful! Especially like the drums and that synth loop.

Also love this visual!

Oooh this is haunting and wonkey

I think Satin is my fav tape plugin.

The choral vocals are lovely how they stack and sit really well with the scratches.

Beautiful and haunting. Drums sound absolutely crisp, and the scratches on the strings sounds supreme.

Ooh, love this. It all hits. Every element works and just solid. Such great little details and effect touches happening too. I could loop this for a while and just chill, which is a really good quality.

I'm definitely a fan of the tape tones.  Warm warbles for all.  smile

Love the vocals on this one it really grabbed me while working. Then the major stuff it fades into is great great great not just blowing smoke
