Great on mix down bus

The Ampex live on my mix bus. It's great for adding glue and a finished sound. I haven't had a chance to dig into all the different ways to use it. Generally I set it using a Stephen Smith ultra linear preset, maybe tweak levels a little and let it do it's thing... which is great.

Just WOW

I've used the ATR-102 across my DAW master bus now for several mixes and absolutely love the way it completes the sound.. it gives my recordings a finished, record-like quality. And the new Ultralinear custom presets are simply amazing.

But recently I found another great use.. I was throwing together a quick and rough mix of a songwriting demo for a friend and found the ATR-102 to be an excellent time saver. I didn't have time to really dig in with the usual insert compression, level adjustments, automation, etc, so I just threw the ATR-102 on the master bus in Logic and called up my favorite 15ips 250 preset. Almost immediately I had a decent, workable demo to send out.

Glue me!

I just love this plugin. While the Studer A800 is more neutral, the ATR-102 brings all sorts of colours to my mixes. Especially when used on master bus. Only problem I have is rewinding the tape ;-)

Powerful tool

Used carefully, it's like having an old friend helping you. Although I used different machines, back in the day, this plugin delivers the goods. Very familiar results. It's not for everything (what is?), but is a great tool when used in the proper context.

Magic

This plug-in rules. I wouldn't say it's a replacement for mixing down to a 2 track, but it is pretty dang close. I love this plug in on my master buss when I can't mix down to my Otari MTR-10. Love it.

Magic.

I just love those plugins where you can just put it on a track and it sounds better. It's like magic. From a more technical aspect, it's not exactly like the real thing. But it is by far the best tape emulation I've tried.

This is an amazing plugin worth trying.

This is a fantastic plugin to use on your master bus. It makes the mix wider and the warmth is amazing. This i cant live without. Its one of my favorites and it will stay on my master in the future on every mix.

Wow!!!!

Using this beast now for more then a year and it turns out to be one of my main masterbus plugins. Besides using it for my masterfader, you can also really kick ass on individual signals if you want. It can add beatiful upper harmonics, distortion, and even delay.

Melhor que isso, só o real

Sem dúvida o plugin que mais gosto da UA, excelente som e diversas opções de timbres. Uso bastante nas ambiências de bateria, para filtrar os agudos dos pratos e, é claro, no mix bus. Melhor que esse, só um ampex atr 102 de verdade.

Ampex ATR-102

Best simulation of tape. Many settings. As if working with a real original.Now always on mastering. Great job. Thanks UA.

nice plug in

very flexible sound, clearly very well designed and while the tape distortion doesn't sound like tape distortion, it does sound damn good.

This one's worth it

Best tape emulation to slap over the master buss - does subtly huge things if that makes any sense?

From really clean to beautifully crunchy mayhem, not only can it tighten the mix up but it's great for crunching drums.instruments up too..

This is definitely one you won't regret. Watch a tutorial and familiarise yourself with all the controls to get the most from it.

Badass on the mix bus!

Best thing you can add to your mix bus on in-the-box mixes. Adds dimension, fatness, 'realness' to every mix I do. Great range of control, great presets for starting points, lots of room for tweaks and experimentation. And by the way, the 'factory default' setting isn't a bad place to start on this machine if you're initially mystified with all the variables (and presets).

Really, really great and truly worth every penny.

ATR 102

Its Amazing!! Just putting it on the masterbus or the drumbus or leadvocals... Just make wonders to the sound with just its presets, makes the sound crispier and fatter and improves the stereoimage! I lööööv it!!
