This project simulates cassette tape audio profiles using ffmpeg.

It applies tape noise, wow and flutter pitch modulation, bandwidth limits, and equalizer adjustments.

  • bash
  • ffmpeg (compiled with libmp3lame)

  • BASF LH Extra C90: German ferric tape. Moderate hiss and mild flutter.

  • Maxell UD C90: Higher-grade ferric tape. Lower hiss, wider frequency range.
  • Sony CHF60 Type I Normal (1978): Vintage 60-minute normal tape. Warm mid-range.
  • Sony CHF90 (1978): Vintage 90-minute normal tape. Slightly higher tape speed drift.
  • TDK D90 (1995-1997): Late-era Type I tape. Clean sound, subtle analog character.
  • mk60: Soviet MK-60 tape. High tape hiss, heavy wow and flutter, aggressive frequency cut.

Navigate to any cassette folder and run the scripts:

```

Convert local audio files (mp3, ogg, m4a, aac)

./convert_cassette_*.sh

Record a live web stream into segment files

./record_stream_cassette_*.sh [STREAM_URL]
`` Processed output files will be saved in the./out` folder.
