The plugin that changed how I mix
To say I love this plugin would be an understatement. It’s the plugin that single handedly changed how I mix drums entirely....

Once again, as my title says, I “should’ve bought it a long time ago!!!”!!! Just like the Amoex ATR-102, it really sounds great and it provides enough settings/options to get many different tones out of it. Very natural if you want it that way and it also distorts nicely.

I didn't think that it would make such a difference. It doesn't work on all material, but when it works - man. I read someone writing that it gives this professional polish and that's true. It won't fix your mix, but it would make it sound more like finished record. It sounds great bot on master and on busses. Highly recommended.

The plugin that changed how I mix
To say I love this plugin would be an understatement. It’s the plugin that single handedly changed how I mix drums entirely. Focusing more using saturation instead of compression, this plugin can get you that massive led zeppelin drum sound. I always have it on my master fader as well, using it for mastering jobs, as well as simple saturation. It’s super simple to use, and very musical. I can honestly say it gets used on every session I do, generally multiple times!

Ampex ATR-102
The best Ampex ATR-102 emulation to give the ultimate analog "glue" that will turn your work to perfection.

STUDER A800
The UAD - STUDER A800 is an indispensable processing for my taste, versatile in use, flexible and a wonderful instrument that sets the character of the timbres.
Just try the A800 on a group of drums, on vocals, on guitars, listen carefully to how it condenses the sound, making it more lively, collected. Using the A800 on guitars, listen to how life, movement and vibe appear, how sharp attacks are gently cut off, and the sound seems to round off, becomes warmer.S. Cohen
Vintage sound
Still learning how to use this device... looking for a way to bring out a bit of saturtion without changing the character of the kick and low end... the potential is there, need to keep exploring.

The magic touch for the master bus!
The best tool on the master, simply the best tape emulation to give the final touch.

Ampex ATR-102
Não fico mais sem o Ampex ATR-102 no master! É otimo para as tracks individuais também! Parabéns UAD!

Useful tool to enhance a mix
Although this plugin cannot save a bad mix, it can help you add that crucial 5-10% that makes the difference between a good mix and a truly interesting one. It has now become one of my go-to plugins on my mix bus.

Excelent Piece of gear
I've been using it for a while and I can say that this is like magic. Everything sounds X3 better than before.

I didn’t get it .. until I tried it
Everyone was praising this plugin everywhere and I didn’t understand how it could be all that people were talking about. Then I tried it and played around for about 1h until I got it and now it’s on all my mixes. Just that glue and not surgical (in a good way). It would be great to have a “view” where it was easier to navigate (don’t need to look like they actual hardware)

Ampex tape machine
I've got a few tape emulations this one adds the magic I like , I'm not a pro audio engineer but this seems to add the weight and depth that people rave about,makes my mixes sound better which is good enough for me.

Best Plugin ever!!!
This is pure magic! Love it!

Skimped on the native version
Great plugin. I was excited when the native version came out, only to realize it’s not quite the same plugin. No tape delay or controls for amount of crosstalk, wow and flutter. Plus you can’t copy presets from the non-native version to the native version. And they don’t have the same preset library! UAD-2 DSP version is superior, unfortunately. Come on UAD….
