Love the Plug in
Its not the kind of plug-in that you work in solo mode for anything but checking the audio file content. This plug in is very subtle and needs to be run through its paces within the mix. Listen very carefully, the value is in the nuance!
I would not recommend using this plug in to morph a master bus, just give it that little last something after your compression that thickens the bus

Mix Finisher!!!!
I love this plugin as the final step before I add the limiter. I have tried it on the mix bus and sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't. However, that isn't a deal breaker. I still believe, for my mixes at least, it's not finished until this plugin is applied. I can't say what it does exactly, but what it does I love.
Awesome,

This is a special plugin
I'm an intermediate mastering engineer. I've tried other brand tape machines and found dissatisfaction. I put this thing on a mix in my master session and I swear, it was like the cute skinny girl in college that came back after summer break filling out her jeans. She went from cute to, damn, flat out bad! How did that happen, so round, so nice a bottom. Had to have it. It completed my master. Its easy to use and has some complexity to it, but not overwhelming. Not that I tried but girl was not for sale, the plugin was which made that ass so much nicer! Get it.

WTM BIGTIME!
Worth The Money. I got it on sale, but so worth the full price. Brings clarity and glue to my mixes like nothing else. Absolutely LOVEIT!

Pretty Freakin Sweet
I'm going with 4 stars instead of 5 just because it's not real tape and their of course will always be some sort of analog magic, some ethereal sparkle that no digital device will ever re-capture. . . But this sounds awesome in it's own right and gets very close to my memories of nice tape machines. . . But it's kindof it's own thing. Adds a certain heft and density to the recording that is subtle but very very cool for taking tracks "over the edge". . .

Fantastic Recreation
What I love about the ATR-102, is the sound.
While you can push it to extremes for effect purposes, for me it is the subtle quality it imparts when you use it as you would the actual machine(s). Tape saturation and compression should be subtle, if the machine is set up properly. The ATR-102 gives you all the options of the real thing, with a variable sonic signatures you get from various tape speeds and formulations. This plug-in won't work magic, but it will finesse your mix to bring out some hidden qualities, which is part of the charm of tape. I actual wish UA had given us the sound of the head engaging just to round out the overall package.
Excellent plug-in, well worth the price.

Almost magical results!
Quite recently I did a project involving the recording of an Iberian Pipe Organ, from the XVI Century. I used a Jecklin disc with two omni small cardioid mics. When listening back the same I found that the sound was quite natural but missing some more crispness. Tried several typical tools including EQ and exciters without success. Then I tried the Studer A800 plugin... Couldn't believe in the results. The non-linearities of the tape just did the trick! It looked like I'd multi-miced the Organ! Such fine detail! And still sounding absolutely natural! If tape alone works out magic, then there are no words to describe this plugin! UAD guys you touched my heart once again! Your plugins are worth every piece of my hard earned cash!

Utterly Amazing! A Must Have!
I was at Sweetwater Gearfest and went to the UA workshop with Ryan West. He shared how the ATR-102 just has magic behind it and was he ever so right. I put this on the Master Bus of a track and the song just came alive. My favorite part is the ability to tweak the Repro High Frequency and Low Frequency knobs and Bias. Adjusting these different knobs turns the tape machine into a living EQ that gives warmth and air to the top end and tightens up the low end giving that true record sound. Utterly Amazing! A Must Have!

Try it for yourself
The video demonstrations are OK, but not even close to working with this plugin on your own DAW and your own tracks. So try the demo, listen closely, play around, and you will NOT be sorry. I bought within hours of playing around. You won't need 14 days. haha Bought the AMPEX plugin too.

Grown Man — Cried Like A Baby!
Having owned the predecessor AG-440C, I missed the warmth and analog 'glue' in all my 24/88 ITB mixes. I kept complaining to my mixing/mastering guy about the brittle sound—a bit too clean & sterile.
I've had this plug for less than a day and plopped it into the first slot of a finished mix. (Slot 2 contains Ozone 5.)
I started going through the presets and tears came to my eyes—tears of joy... Hell, I cried like a baby!
I instantly heard a radio-ready master.
My problem now is deciding which finished sound is right for each Golden Master—and I probably have to remaster several projects I've put to bed. It'll be worth it!
And I'm doing this on a MacBook Pro.
Damn impressive UAD and thank you AMPEX for partnering up!

Stunning ...
... and subtle; I like the Studer much more than the Ampex.
Why? Its more versatile .. great plugin

The Best
This plugin is simply awesome. No other words to describe it. Thank you Universal audio.

Love this software plug.
Just invested in an octo card and upgraded to pt 11. Next I picked up an Apollo twin duo. And a used MacBook pro to run those sweet preamp plugs. 1073neve and the 610b. Sounds unbelievable. thanks uad for a new outlook and upgraded sound. Nothing left for your sale sh.....

First things first...
I add Studer as the first plug in on every track, and I mean every. About half the time, I use an appropriate preset, the other half I leave at default with maybe a few tweaks. It really removes the brittle digital feel that I sometimes hear on my tracks. While subtle, it's real. It's by far my most used plug.

Great plugin
This plugin is great on the master. Capable of adding some great character to the final mix.
C. Busch
Seems good
I haven't had a chance to delve into this plugin too deeply, but so far it sounds good and adds a nice tape sound. Low cpu means you can use it on individual tracks.
A. Shailer
Absolutely blinding...
Been wanting this plug for ages... and now I've finally got it. Pretty much a mainstay on all my synths... using the bias and degredaton for ultimate retro effect without the hassle of real tape machines.
Brilliant.

What can I said...
I don't think any one needs some recommendations on this plugin... It just make music sound better!!! I use it all the time and it helps me to create really good separation on my mixes. is amazing on acoustic guitar and drums!
