Adds the Tape Flavor Well
Gives character to a sterile-sounding mix. Used it in a mastering situation to add a little bit of that tape saturation/natural compression. Tracking to it gives your tracks that gushy-tapey feel. Very tweakable.

thanx!
Ampex and Studer does the whole weather. He certainly corrupts. Devours all my mistakes. But so beautiful with it.

Proving Them Wrong! This plugin ROCKS!
To all the people who say that mastering "in the box" will never be as good as mastering with hardware gear, UAD is proving them wrong. With my Apollo Twin Duo and Satellite TB Quad paired with all the analog plugins, my home studio is virtually no different from any professional studio. This tape plugin literally breathes life into your songs. So many parameters and controls to get the sound that you want! 10/10.

The ATR-102 is THE Secret Sauce!
The ATR-102 brings all the elements in a mix together in a very nice way. Highly recommended.

Cozy
It feels like a warm night in a saturated paradise.

OK, so this is how it's done!
Trying to get a mix to sound as present as commercial mixes, especially pop mixes, seemed a work of voodoo to me....before I put this on my mixbus....15ips.....WOW

This is the stuff that make true to life recordings. It gives digital recordings the breath of realism it needs to be believable.

Solo enciendelo...
Solo enciendelo y el calor llega a los tracks....amalgama mezclas y da vida a la digitalizacion. Un jugador importante a la hora de buscar ese toque analogo.

The "digital" solution
A must-have, if you're going full digital. With that amazing piece on your mix, you can actually skip analog summing. One of the finest pieces of gear I've experienced in music production. Impossible to do without it since.

Really Glues a Mix Together
The Studier A800 lives on all of my busses. I love the way it handles drum transients and the harmonic content and gentle tape compression it ads really helps to glue a mix together. I usually run it at 15 or 30ips with GP9 (using CCIR on 15ips) and love the subtle character it imparts. The auto-cal feature with the ability to over-ride it and change the bias is a nice touch.

Lives on the 2-Buss
Wouldn't go anywhere without it. Gotta be on the 2_Buss... Also does beautiful subtle things with vocals and Guitars... You name it!

This plugin is insane. You can massage your mix into anything you want! Great lowend, and great mastering presets!

Top 3
This is the definitive and indispensable Tape Emu/Sat plugin and makes my Top 3 alongside UAD's Studer and Slate's VTM!

Use it a good amount, but not always....
Would give it five stars if I used it more often.....for whatever reason the Oxide sounds better to me on some mixes....not always, but enough to affect a review....
Can make piano jump out of a mix, though....awesome for that....

Loving it
I come from the tape era, although I never had a great mastering machine. I always mastered to cassette and then later DAT. I'm now realizing how much a part of the puzzle a great mastering tape is. It definitely brings everything up a notch.

Magic tape or tape magic ;)
When picking my first custom bundle I was struggling with choices like anybody else I guess. I researched a lot and what always came up as a must-have plugin was the Ampex. Although considering that I already own two tape saturation plugin from different developers, I tested Ampex for quite a while against those two. It always won in direct comparison. The saturation and harmonic seem to have more depth and life, plus EQing, noise, flutter etc. are way more controllable through the various detail settings.
For most of my hip hop and electronic experimental songs I use it on the master bus, when I am looking for saturation and vibe from soft and subtle to extreme. For songs with a more modern, ultra-clean sound I might only use it for one specific track to add life to it.

So good
for harsh, rough sounds it's perfect solution
