Late to the game
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.

Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder
This is a really cool plugin, I will add it to the master bus to glue the mix before mastering using different presets depending on the style of the track or song. I recommend this plugin to anyone who wants to achieve a professional sound.

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

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.

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….

A must have
The Ampex ATR-102 -plugin was the missing link that set my mixes and masters on par with all my favourite records. It’s currently my favourite tool and a definitive must have 6/5.

ok as
nice as an EQ/Compressor effect but wouldn't pay more than a few dollars for it. It can mess up your dynamics and nice clean recording which is good or bad depending on how old you are haha. I'm personally so glad to not have to suffer tape machines anymore these days having been recording since the 70's and owned and repaired a dozen machines from 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 1". 2" as engineer and service tech so know them inside out literally. I use this for it's texture. I just wish the interface was clean with faders instead of graphics. I'm trying to make things sound good and could not give a toss what the plugin looks like. I need minimum fuss and memory/DSP usage.

Another color that was not in my plugin forest before.

Strategic Weapon
As I used a real one in 80s , I love the sound of tapes and all their nuances .
This plugin , very close to original one is helpful to change the nuance, harmonics, dynamics and EQs of the programs or instruments in very special way. Be careful ! !t’s addictive ;).
