Experimenting with trying to make something feel like it's playing on a worn out tape. If anyone has advice on how I can make the effect better, please chime in.

or you could always find an old tape player and pump it through :)

some things i do for this effect are;
-emulate an unsteady motor by putting a pulsar on the master with 0 delay and 0 feedback. automate the main millisecond delay to get little pitch wobbles! the filter there is pretty useful too.
-tape often has tiny dips of volume from dust. you can fake that by splitting the left and right channel and occasionally muting and unmuting very quickly. you can hear that on https://www.audiotool.com/track/yuh2jt8gdl1/ specifically on the piano that plays at :50

This is actually pretty nice. Gonna jump on the remix button.
the lfo is useful too but it just jumps between two lengths as opposed to oscillating between them. also you can do a similar effect in mono by using a chorus or stereo detune and then a panorama to get only the left or right channel. lots of fun possibilities!

I was wondering if there was a way to get the warping effect without bouncing it and automating the timeline, thanks for the tip there

Improved tape effect, removed percussion that I didn't like

a bit of noise/hiss and some saturation could add to the effect
