VHS Home Video Flavor Box For Mac + Windows
Audio Hertz VHS Home Video Flavor Box is a plugin that’s designed to recreate the the sonic fingerprint of VHS playback.
The plugin is modeled on two consumer VCRs, each with its own personality and sonic character:
- 1979 JVC Vidstar HR-7600U — One of the earliest home VCRs ever made. Heavy, noisy, and built like a tank. When driven, it delivers smooth distortion with a unique bass boost.
- 2001 Panasonic PV-V4521 — Driven hard, it produces an extremely flavorful, gritty overdrive.
The result is a plugin that brings you back to the “beautifully nostalgic, imperfect world of analog home video.”
Features:
- VCR Saturation – The developers say that they pushed the inputs of consumer VCRs, to capture the unique distortion they produce when overloaded.
- Built-In Limiter – Fully adjustable. Emulates VCR-style limiting to deliver squashed dynamics.
- 8-Band Graphic EQ – Sculpt your sound with precision. Clean up the grit, carve space, or push the VHS flavor even further.
- Noise, Wow & Flutter – Dial in texture, movement and wear to match your track. Add noise or extreme wow and flutter for creative character.

VHS Home Video Flavor Box is available now with an intro price of $39 (normally $59).
