Drive it !
Really like it, very versatile, it's pretty much a channel strip at this point

Great tape sim … a bit like a cut price Satin … can go from crunchy to subtle and boomy to fizzy … wish it still had the echo option but you can’t have it all

Without delay and advanced config of wow / noise
I always liked this plugin, and when the native version came out, I bought it without hesitation. However, without reading the fine print, I found myself with a version that doesn't hold a candle to the original. It would be great if they also included the full version without charging us extra. I understand the advantage of a lighter version, but it should be an alternative option.

Native Version is very disappointing
Unfortunately the native version is a total disappointment for me. Not only is it not compatible with the UAD-2 version, none of the presets produce the depth and 3 dimensionality as you would expect from the original.
I wouldn't even call the native version a stripped-down light version, and I don't understand uad's aditude here at all.
It is a total break with everything that has previously appeared as native versions.

It could be much better
After about two years without being released natively, when it is released, it has a somewhat weak vintage look and is lacking in features! Even the LUNA extension has a more pleasant palette and skin. In fact, I think it is the LUNA extension but expanded, and not an improved version of the original. They made a mistake in the plugin where they couldn't make a mistake. Will the next ones be like this too, reduced?

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.

Not Included With Spark
You guys have been killing it with Spark and all your recent product offerings. But then you add the ATR-102 to UA Connect like it's a Spark plug-in--only to reveal that it's a demo after downloading. That's just plain dumb. Why nickel and dime people who are loyal, year after year customers? You've been killing it, don't stop now.

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.

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.

Turnkey presets!
I'm a musician but I'm not a recording specialist! And this little gem allows me to reach, find settings that can quickly meet the requirements for each instrument style etc. the 104 seems active to me with responsiveness and clarity with more sophisticated details...

Magic
The UAD Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder is pure magic! It adds an incredible warmth and depth to my mixes that I just can't get with anything else. Super easy to use and instantly gives that vintage, pro sound. Whether I'm working on a final mix or just adding some tape flavor, this plugin never disappoints. Totally a must-have for anyone serious about their sound!
M. Vonbank
great sound on the twobus
Sounds amazing, and tons of options. Different tape formulations, speeds, crosstalk, transformer saturation, tape width, bias etc.
