can't live without it
since I purchased my apollo and my ampex atr102 I cannot pass without using it on the mix bus. It lives there, basically. You can get real smooth tape compression and eq out of it. MILES AWAY from every other tape emulation..

A game changer
Among the most "bang-for-bucks" purchase that can be done on the UAD store! It took me less than 15mn, when I demoed this one for a specific mastering purpose, to realize how much it would be efficient to use it more often. From single track to master bus, every step is potentially eligible to be "taped" in the process.
I can never regret the money I spent, would even pay more if asked...

It changed my tracks definitely
The Ampex ATR102 is one of the best (diffiicult to say what is the best) UA plug in. I tryed for the test 14 days period, and after that I bought it. Amazing on every channel, especially on basses and vocals for me.

My favorite mastering tool
I have been trying this and actually used it on a Master before I bought it.
Because of the pretty steep price I've been hesitant to buy it but now that I've used it and heard what it can do I have been waiting for an opportunity to buy it at the right price. So Black Friday @ UA was the best christmas gift I could ever hop for.
That subtle distortion at the top end is just beautiful!!!
Anyway just so there is no misunderstanding....WE LOOOOOVE THE Ampex ATR-102 here @ Freisig Media Studio's

Flagship UAD plugin :)
I was surprised how different this is to the Studier A800 - I was choosing between them and ended up with both! This has a more aggressive sound when pushed - great for rockier drums etc and mix processing etc.
I simply can't imagine not having this plugin now...

Can't say enough good things
Fatness! Width! so juicy!! I love this and is one of my all time UAD faves! Add it to your bus on master bus and see the magic happen! NO tape emulation even comes close!

That last little bit of something
This Tape emulator is more subtle than the Studer 800 but is also more adjustable. While the Studer is great on the individual tracks or instrument busses this works great on the final Mix Buss or as a Mastering tool. That doesn't mean you can't use it on instruments it is just better at being more subtle.

Gloss
High range is beautiful and glossy compared with a plug-in made by other company.
It's recommended to mastering and a vocal.

ATR 102 rocks
The ATR 102 plug is amazing. I sold my 2trk tape deck after getting it. Killer
L. Swiercz
just amazing!
This is one of the best tape plugs, I use this on all of my projects !
E. Sevmont
Very musical!
I haven't purchased neither of the tape emulations, but I used my free trial and this is just musical, I'll def purchase it in the future. So many usable options, it's hard to mess up something when using this plugin. If I had to choose to buy and keep 2 UAD plugins, it would be the tapes, too bad I didn't know about these before.

BEST OF TAPE MACHINE
The best of tape machine for me.
The ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder is Wonderful Compression sound.

Universal Audio thanks!

Tasty!
This plugin is fantastic! It will always be on my 2 Bus. It's also great to use on anything that needs some warmth, and is a life saver when it comes to taming harshness (like in overheads, brittle guitars, etc). I have barely cracked the surface as far as all the fine tuning you can do with all the internal components. I actually find the "noise" function adds some air to the final mix if it's recorded cleanly/properly. My one and only minor complaint is that it is a DSP hog so instead of giving it 5 stars, I'd give it 4.9 stars. You guys are the best. Absolutely love everything I have by UAD which is quite a lot.

"life changing"
the ATR 102 is incredible on the master buss.. it now resides on the end of my mastering chain for every song.. Refines the low end, and makes the hi end really nice ...
L. Moorer
Amazing!
This plugin only dramatically enhanced the sound of my mix. I love the variety of options you can choose from which gives you the ability to use it in every genre. In my opinion, this is the first UAD plugin every user should buy.
