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.

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!

It is not blurry, but warm all over!

I've only been using it for a short time, but it's true! It is not blurry, but warm all over!

Subtle warmth

Easy way to add warmth to any mix, really glad a got it. It’s also made me a believer in pre-sets.

The real deal!

I've probably tried every single tape plugin out there. One could argue they all have their use, and I won't be discussing that. In my opinion, this plugin and a tape plugin from a different developer are the only two that actually do what a tape plugin should do, the difference is that this one from UAD can accomplish the same thing, but with more versatility. You won't need anything else with this plugin. Saturation, natural tape compression and mid-side done right, with no phase issues whatsoever. The clipping however is a little more difficult to control, but it's achieved by balancing the Record and Reproduce levels (specially the Record level). The plugin, as expected from UAD, sounds incredible, making the mixes much warmer and open (if that's what you're aiming for). As I mentioned earlier, it's highly versatile no matter what settings you choose, so if you have a vision for what your mix should sound like, this plugin will make it a reality without any hassle or struggles. It's that easy.

Good control of dynamics and multitude of "flavors"

I have many tapes, I had never tried Ampex until it arrived natively, I must admit that I really liked it for the master, I have it configured quite flat, I don't like that it modifies the EQ curve of the signal much, entering 0vu manages to apply a very natural glue effect on the dynamics and achieve 2-3 db's of headroom without deteriorating the signal.

Iz good

Haven’t used on ALOT of material yet, but added to about a dozen tracks in progress on the mix/master bus and consistently sounding & feeling pretty damn nice. Wasn’t really in the market for yet ANOTHER tape plugin, but the sale was too good to pass up and glad to have added it to the arsenal. Good stuff!

The Best IMO

In my opinion, this is the best tape machine out there. I absolutely love the sound of it, and if you use this in conjunction with the free Mid-side plug-in from Voxengo, It really shines!!!

Really Amazing!

The UAD Ampex ATR-102 Mastering plug-in is really amazing! The ease of operation is reasonable and instantly provides a high quality sound! It works perfectly in both: Logic Pro X 11 and Cubase Pro 13!
