You ask, I answer
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 ;).

How Is That Even Possible?
The first words I spoke when I tried this plugin in my mastering chain was, "How is that even possible?" I've never purchased any UAD plugins until now, and the Ampex emulation was my first. The presets are pretty much all you need, just find the preset that suits the song and mastering needs best, and you're all set. It's as simple or complicated as you want it to be, and it sounds amazing. This one plugin will most likely replace 2-3 plugins in my chain, and that's something I've never encountered in my last decade of producing music. Now that this plugin is native, and for the price it's currently at, this is one of the very few plugins I've begged all my producer friends to get. If I ever need new plugins, I think I'll be checking UAD first. Do yourself the favor and grab this.

Outstanding!
I am old enough to have used actual reel-to-reel tape in recordings and I can assure you that this plugin comes very close to emulating the real thing. It's all about the warmth; the sound. Great job on this one.

Get this great TAPE emulator !
The Ampex ATR-102 is a fantastic all rounder TAPE emulator for your DAW and tracks and tunes. It's amazingly warm and great for saturation. It has a nice wobbly vibe to it that makes sound stand out, well to my ears anyway. Get it today and add it to your plugin chain.

Incredibly Good
Sometimes I think to myself, wait a minute, I now have enough plugins to get by with them and I have to put in the time to get to know them well. But now I'm amazed again and how does UA manage to make something like this, so incredibly good.

Go for it..
I had the oxide 1st. I like this on the master bus and the oxide for most tracks.
This thing has all the options and sounds great so far. I'm done after this last plugin... lol

Great tape!
One of the best tapes plugins that i've tried.
N. Simons
Top notch
This is a wonderful plugin, have found it useful in tracking and mix scenarios. No idea if it sounds like a tape machine as I haven’t used one for over twenty years but when it works it works really well at adding an elusive, subtle, weighty, gluey, dimensional sauce.

The Long Wait Is Over!
I’ve been waiting for this to go native for a very long time. I used to own the satellite and used this on many, many masters. I decided to get rid of that clunky device and unfortunately, this was one of my biggest pain points missing from my workflow after. We are SO back!

Amazing
Best tape emulation plugin I’ve used. Absolutely love its sound and how versatile it is. Being able to choose between different tape formulas and heads to find the sound I’m looking for is a game changer for me. Quickly became a mainstay on my master bus.

Can't go wrong with it.
Waited for the Native version for a long time, love it! There wasn't a time that it went on my master bus and didn't make it sound better.

I was just going to check it out...
I was just going to check it out for a bit then remove it from the session, but as I started working with it I found a warmth and clarity that I remember from my time in studios back in the 1970s and 1980s. I always used 456 for recording and mix down and I was glad that is one of the emulations. Loving the sound!

¡Plugin muy resultón! Es posible obtener resultados fantásticos y profesionales.
En mi experiencia, este es un plugin que sin ser muy complicado permite obtener resultados muy, muy adecuados de saturación armónica emulando el wardware original. Dedicándole un poco de tiempo se puede llegar a obtener resultados verdaderamente muy pro siempre y cuando el trabajo de mezcla sea correcto y bien equilibrado.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente frente a otras opciones que hay en el mercado porque los resultados pueden ser muy diferentes dependiendo de cómo se combinen los parámetros, y combinándolo con EQ posterior o tal vez y dependiendo del caso compresión + EQ.

Absolutely great.
Can not complain anything with this plugin.I use it in every song.

The Best I Have Used
I am really loving the ATR. It has its flavor and is currently the favorite of my tape plugins. It has a fair amount of tweakability without being overwhelming. It's an oldie but a goodie!
Great job UA!
