MagicDeathEyeStereo compressor vs TAIP - Baby Audio Usage & Stats
Almost a year after the highly celebrated publishing of the first MagicDeathEye plugin, it is now time to present the “bigger brother” of Ian Sefchick’s first creation to the world: meet MagicDeathEyeStereo, a tube compressor with an integrated EQ circuit designed especially for all your mastering needs. We have taken everything we’ve learned from the first version and created a true emulation of what can only be described as a very fine piece of audio hardware. While similar in their overall signature sound, both products have their own dedicated areas of expertise: the “mono” version (well, not actually mono in plugin format) more on individual tracks, the stereo version to glue the whole mix together, with an even smoother compression curve, and lots of little goodies that will help you finalize your mix.
The stereo compressor is two mono compressor circuits with some extras designed for mastering and buss compression duties. This new version has an added EQ section. There are two (boost only) bands with two frequency selections each. The EQ is worked into the Variable Mu tube gain structure. This means it is not before or after the compression section, it is within it! The EQ circuit is inductor based and has wide curves for giving program material that “little something”. There is also a two frequency low cut for tightening up out of control bass. The boost of the bands can be 5dB or 3dB split between 5 steps. I spent a lot of time shaping this EQ mastering everyday and fine tuning the components on the weekends. It sounds absolutely fabulous!

Warm up your sound
TAIP brings the true sound and behavior of analog tape to iOS with the power of AI.
Use it to add organic saturation and life to any source that needs a little extra spark.
About TAIP
TAIP offers a faithful, AI-based emulation of a beloved vintage tape machine from the early 70s. You’ll get the same harmonic richness and nonlinear magic as the classic hardware with features that take you beyond the limits of the original.
TAIP’s unique approach to emulation uses a neural network in place of traditional DSP techniques to accurately decipher the magic characteristics of tape.
The result is a happy marriage between classic sound and modern versatility. And we encourage you to drive it hard!
TAIP Features:
- Drive:
TAIP’s most important parameter - add a subtle touch of warmth or extreme saturation (or anything in between).
- Mix:
Add tape saturation in parallel with the dry signal. Or combine the “Wear” and “Mix” parameters to create tape flanging.
- Model:
”Single” brings you one tape emulation, while “Dual” combines two tape machines in a series under the hood.
- Lo / Hi-Shape:
Saturates the low/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum.
- Glue:
Exaggerates the compression effect that naturally occurs in tape recordings.
- Noise:
Adds more tape noise – or removes it entirely.
- Presence:
Brings back the brightness that gets lost on tape recordings.
- Wear:
Recreates the instabilities of a worn-out tape machine and subtly alters the tape speed.
- Input:
Lets you distort the signal more - or less - without affecting the output level.
- Auto-Gain:
Lets you add more drive while keeping a consistent plugin output.
