Wow and flutter is provided by tape machines, and cassette recorders with rotary components. WOW Control is all about that annoying sound we seem to love. Irritating sounds that these days are seen as chic and desirable in many productions for example lofi.

Wow and Flutter

Wow and flutter are audio effects that were once popular in the music industry, but have since been replaced by digital effects. They are created by adding noise to the signal and can add warmth or character to the sound that is often desired in certain genres of music.

WOW Control focused on the weird and wild modulations of analog tape and other less-than-perfect analog playback devices. Goodhertz set out to precisely capture the essence of three tape machines from three decades: every noise, every wobble, and every harmonic. The plugin has resulted in the most comprehensive analog tape model we’ve ever heard.

Wow Control delivers that eerie & erratic timbre of analog tape and other limited analog playback devices. Wow Control is all about old-school analog recording shortfalls.

With this kind of effect plugin, you can push a record that you produce and add bend the music and wobble the track. Like a tape player does not spin easily the simulated tape will speed up and slow down under the head. Vinyl effect plugins are also very popular and can be used to great effect.

The three tape modes in Wow Control Analog emulate the sounds of tapes from different eras:

• The ’60s Mode emulates the sound of a vintage Ampex 351 1/4″ deck.
• The ’70s Mode emulates the sound of a vintage Teac A-2300S 1/4″ deck.
• The ’80s Mode emulates the sound of a vintage Aiwa CSD-K330 Cassette Deck.

Each mode has its own unique character and sonic flavor. Goodhertz also added a Random Tape section, which adds even more complex modulation for unique results.

Goodhertz included presets for Vinyl, Tape, Stereo effects, FX, Analog tape and cassette, and some general presets in the plugins to help you to find the right first starting point and through the easy to use interface you can adjust the sound to your taste.
