Ampex on master session

Magic
This plug-in rules. I wouldn't say it's a replacement for mixing down to a 2 track, but it is pretty dang close. I love this plug in on my master buss when I can't mix down to my Otari MTR-10. Love it.

Magic.
I just love those plugins where you can just put it on a track and it sounds better. It's like magic. From a more technical aspect, it's not exactly like the real thing. But it is by far the best tape emulation I've tried.

Do not underestimate
Do not underestimate ! ! !
Use it as the first ... then add other plugins to complete the mix ... then bypassed only the Ampex ... Ok now you have understood ...
F. Martinsen
This is an amazing plugin worth trying.
This is a fantastic plugin to use on your master bus. It makes the mix wider and the warmth is amazing. This i cant live without. Its one of my favorites and it will stay on my master in the future on every mix.
M. Marsman
Wow!!!!
Using this beast now for more then a year and it turns out to be one of my main masterbus plugins. Besides using it for my masterfader, you can also really kick ass on individual signals if you want. It can add beatiful upper harmonics, distortion, and even delay.

Melhor que isso, só o real
Sem dúvida o plugin que mais gosto da UA, excelente som e diversas opções de timbres. Uso bastante nas ambiências de bateria, para filtrar os agudos dos pratos e, é claro, no mix bus. Melhor que esse, só um ampex atr 102 de verdade.

Ampex ATR-102
Best simulation of tape. Many settings. As if working with a real original.Now always on mastering. Great job. Thanks UA.
P. Geiser
nice plug in
very flexible sound, clearly very well designed and while the tape distortion doesn't sound like tape distortion, it does sound damn good.

This one's worth it
Best tape emulation to slap over the master buss - does subtly huge things if that makes any sense?
From really clean to beautifully crunchy mayhem, not only can it tighten the mix up but it's great for crunching drums.instruments up too..
This is definitely one you won't regret. Watch a tutorial and familiarise yourself with all the controls to get the most from it.

Badass on the mix bus!
Best thing you can add to your mix bus on in-the-box mixes. Adds dimension, fatness, 'realness' to every mix I do. Great range of control, great presets for starting points, lots of room for tweaks and experimentation. And by the way, the 'factory default' setting isn't a bad place to start on this machine if you're initially mystified with all the variables (and presets).
Really, really great and truly worth every penny.

ATR 102
Its Amazing!! Just putting it on the masterbus or the drumbus or leadvocals... Just make wonders to the sound with just its presets, makes the sound crispier and fatter and improves the stereoimage! I lööööv it!!
P. Macino
Not really a Plugin
This one really stands out. It's not often that go in to a project/mix thinking specifically how this Plugin will be used as part of the planning. I love it, and it's part of my workflow. I when I think about it, I don't think, "plugin", and "Hey, How will this sound? Let's give it a try." I think "Tape Recorder". There is so much ground it can cover and cover it exceptionally. There are large number of great sounding presets to get you started with your new "studio gear" too.
Definitely becoming a "desert island" piece of kit!
S. Mcnulty
I love this thing.
I have been mixing analog for the past 10 years.
I recently was forced to go back into the box.
It is plugins like this one that makes it ok!
I put this on the 2bus for everything.
C. Machado
I am hooked!!
Never used the hardware version but, oh man do I love this plug-in. The ability to have it across multiple busses, well, let's just call that a WIN WIN purchase. The audible recognition and silky but transparent compression characteristics that it adds to a bass guitar, vocal, or kick drum puts a huge smile on my face. This plug is amazing! Like I said, I am hooked!!!!
