Perfect for Mastering bus
Everything change after you mix is done completed for mastering. Totally give your mix sound warmest almost like analogue sound on the master bus. Love it...so much no wonder why people love UAD plugins.

Tape on steroids
The most powerful of the tape emulations that I have (and I have a lot..

Glue
I love how the Ampex glues everything together. It's subtle but at the same time it isn't. When you take it away, there's just something missing... Can't think of ever not using the Ampex on my mixbuss.

Magic
This goes at the end of my master buss on every project and just adds a magic touch instantly. Love it.

Magic tape
Best tape ever
J. Love
Nothing less than what I"ve come to expect from UA.
" Richer", "warmer," "gooier", "fater" take your pick. This is what I was looking for in a master tape emulation.

Warm, punchy, aggressive.. yeah.. all the above
I bought the studer a800 a while ago because I was just on a duo and thats what seemed to make more sense (the atr is very dsp hungry). After seeing a friend use the ATR on his mix bus, hearing the depth, and spread, and kinda "Smear" it gave.. just about made me lose my mind. So so so GOOD!

Stunning
Absolutely magic! I use the presets on Luna and are really handy. Thanks UA :)

Big tape sound
It shapes, glues and compacts all, adding warmth and making it all sound bigger.

When You Have One Job
Then do it right. This does. I use it in my mastering chain. It is magic. It seems like a lot for a one trick pony but you have to see this pony's trick.

Second to none
ATR-102 is absolutely the mastering solution I call it the celebrities cheat

Everything sounds better when turned on
This plugin added to my rough mix beautiful color and saturation. Everything sounds better.

Swiss army knife
I use the ATR-102 all over the place. It can improve any mix. It tames harsh sounds, bring clarity and glues the mix. A must have!
C. Billmeier
The best!
I haven't touched an ATR in 20 years so I can't really compare the two, but I can say that this sounds great when used as a drum and/or master bus. Very clean results. I also have the Studer 800 plug-in and that one breaks up the signal more than this, and not necessarily in the good way. This unit seems much less "digital", even when pushed hard. Both are cool tools, don't get me wrong, but this one (so far) seems to work better with stronger/louder music.

After trying this plugin it became direct the first on my wishlist. It gives weight on your sound and when you look at an exported wave file it looks more transparant. It’s almost magic
D. Schneider
Love it! Love it! Love it!
This is a must-have plugin on your stereo bus! It's difficult to describe its huge impact in a few words on your mix, but you can be 100% sure that it worth every dollar you pay for it.

It's popular for a reason...
This would be my desert island plugin. No other plugin gives me the "finished", "polished" sound as good as this one. I highly recommend combing through the presets. Many, many times there is one that will work very well for your mix, but adjust just one setting thereafter, and you could through it off. Read the manual, learn what does what, or like a kid learns just push buttons until you find what works for you. This isn't just for technical expertise, have fun with this thing!
