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!

Best tape plugin!
I've got several excellent tape plugins but this is the very best!
M. Jones
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!!!
J. Romero
Simply Amazing
The best tape emulator ever made.
U. Soto

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!

Es excelente el cambio y saturación a la señal es simplemente hermoso
E. Recourt
Just wow
Not many plugins that you can slap on a finished mix and actually have it sound better but this is one of them. Very impressive, lives up to the hype.
M. Ramos Jiménez
Perfecta para Master o Mix Bus.
La utilizo habiatualmente para generar una saturación y compresión sobre toda la mezcla. Me proporciona una saturación brillante y excitante.
J. Ross
Soulful. Easy to use.
Just got this for my two-bus and I really like it. Versatile. You can choose tape speed, what type of tape, etc. You can make your mix as grainy or as smooth as you choose. This has the soul of tape with the convenience of modern technology.
