Punch, Clarity, Depth, Glue

I got the demo of this because it kept popping out to me as I glanced through the plugins in the online store. This is hands-down the best tape plugin I've ever used.

The sound is wonderful. It glues a mix together, adds depth in the low end, smooths out harshness in the high-mids, tightens up the mix by adding that lovely/natural tape compression, and I haven't even mentioned all of the options you can tweak if you want to get specific.

The tape choices are brilliant for honing in on the specific sound you're looking for. You can get pro, Pop mastered, clear mixes through this or that warbley, thick, crumbly old demo sound. This does some extreme things if you push it hard enough but it's also easy to just bring in a subtle vibe-y Wow.

It's a Medium

The Ampex Tape Plug-In has become a medium for me in my recordings, adding both glue and varnish to my pieces, so glad I committed to it.

Thank you Universal Audio!

One of the best plugins out there

This plugin is probably one of the best plugins you can find in the digital domain. For mixing and mastering, this plugin delivers a sound that no other plugin can give you. Big thanks to UAD for making this emulation!

Magie... | just magic

Macht den Sound einfach "weicher". Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass in der digitalen Domäne soviel analoger Sound möglich ist. | Makes the sound just "softer". I never thought, that as much analog sound is possible in the digital domain .

Ok this is serious!

I am writing music 20 years. I am into electronic music from the beginning. I am from small country - Slovakia! I have write local hits, some of them have over 40.000.000 views on YT! I went trought hardware / software stuff during many years in studio! But all of these facts are not important!

Now the important part - there are no words, what Universal audio brought to the digital world of music production! And especially this AMPEX one is the cherry on the cake in the final mastering process!

Thank you!

Amazing for novice engineers

I have no idea what I'm doing with the tape machine I have never used one before however I know what sounds good in this plug-in gives your music a warm familiar Sonic sound that has made my tracks sound amazing!

Analog Excellence

It was a hard choice between this and the Studer, but this plug-in is amazing and can do so much more. You can read it in every review, there's magic in here, add a sheen to your high end and a thick warmth to your bass. I keep adding to almost every master bus, but it's great on any bass driven source, or... anything. So many options to still explore. Be aware, this is one of the heavyweights and will use a fair bit of DSP.

Love it !

My go to plug in during Mastering. I always have it on my mastering chain. Brings a warmth, glue like quality and an elegance that nothing else can provide. One of the fist plugins I ever purchased for my UAD system.

I find myself using it on my mix bus and group buses every now and then.

I am planning on experimenting a little with this plugin on my recording chain. Just to see what it does.

To sum it u, this is one of the plugins you must have. Voids the purpose of having a UAD system otherwise. Worthy every single penny. Highly recommended.

Ampex ATR 102

Un esculente Plugin, con el se consigue que la mezcla quede sujeta y le da un carácter analógico verdadero un fantástico trabajo.

The One

Of all the plugins I've tested and/or bought over the years, none has had the impact on a "finished" piece of music that the Ampex ATR-102 has. Find your setting, listen for a minute, then bypass this plug. You will be dumbfounded. Truly, I never knew what I was missing. UA makes lots of good plugins, and a number of great ones. This is the One that is indispensable and irreplaceable.
