Common Troubleshooting Thread
Stuck on loading screen?
- Move TapeDAW folder from Library (MacOS) or APPDATA (Windows) and restart. This is the manual way to hard reset preferences for now. If still failing, rename Tape Save folder temporarily.
TAPE 16 won't update?
- Download from emrmusicgroup.com/tape16 for latest version if auto updater isn't working. It will automatically replace the older version when installed.
