Almost perfect!
I’m a huge fan of tape plugins, I tried all and this is the best sounding and more tweakable.
I’m not giving it 5 stars just because the GUI. Its a shame that such a great and expensive plugin has an ugly, small and low resolution graphics. At least it should be resizable.

That sizzle
Boy howdy this thing sounds good. Easy way to pump some of that crunch, some of that sizzle into your track.

Unmistakable sound!
The Ampex tape recorder has such a natural sound and adds that familiar polish to a mix… I foresee it getting a lot of use. Very versatile!

Love it!

Harmonic bliss
The Ampex plug is phenomenal, particularly on the master buss to achieve that timeless “finished” sounding mix. Can be driven for more character, but I usually use it relatively subtlety. A little goes a long way

Mixbus must-have!
Fantastic tape emulation that makes it one every mix for me. Bonus for LUNA users: it can also be used natively for bus processing.

Adds lots of character to the master bus

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.

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.
M. Bilderbach
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!
S. Dorca
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.
