AMPEX ATR-102
I HAVE THE OXIDE AND THE AMPEX ATR-102 AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THE STUDER. FOR YEARS IVE BEEN USING THE STEVEN SLATE VTM ON MY MIX BUS ONLY AND THE ATR WILL NOW TAKE ITS PLACE. IT GLUES THE ENTIRE MIX TOGETHER AND THATS ALL I NEED TO SAY AND THAT'S ALL I NEED IT TO DO! THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE IS THE PRICE BUT LUCKILY THERE'S THE CUSTOM 3 BUNDLE!!!

Useful on Group
I use Oxide as bus compressor on every group I create and the results are great.

Absolutely Stunning
I can't tell you just how amazing this plugin is, it has to be used and experienced to see just what it does. I previously was using a Slate tape emulation plugin and the difference was very apparent. I still like the Slate for group saturation but for the overall mix this is untouchable.

dig this studer but...
...several other companies emus give it a run for its money. I think the ampex is definitely a class above this, and even prefer oxide, when it comes to uad tape offerings, but this is still a solid workhorse that definitely adds value on a harmonic content level.

even though this is based on a somewhat long in the tooth emu...
i still love it and use it constantly! does something special, that my other space echo plugs don't quite match up with. give it a whirl.

far and away my favorite tape emu.

Interesting
I can remember using two inch reel to reel back in the early nineties, but honestly can't recall the effect it had on the overall sound, but this plug in does do something lovely and interesting to sound.

Classic tape sound
Adds that classic tape sound to any track to glue together the mix. Learn to master it and you'll improve your mixes remarkably. Recommended.

Great Tape, easy to use !!
I love tapes and I tend to use them on every channel, I love the studer that does a great job for removing harshness and brightness on high and add warmth on low. I tried Oxide and the simplicity and the color pushed me to get it to have more flavor to play with. I recommend it on kick, bass, and anything you want really to add a nice round touch. Just try it !!

Gospel Beats
This plugin sounds great on any track you put it on. I mainly use it for vocals, can't explain what it's doing to the vocals, but they just sound better after putting it on the track; simply using the vocal preset. It sounds good on your overall mix as well. If you do all of your mixing in the box, this plugin will add some analog warmth to your tracks, and make it sound less digital.

At the beginning of my Mastering strip everytime!
Even when I place this on my master strip it pulls my track together on Default. The presets are always good enough to find a sound I am after regardless of the style of music I am working on. Cheers UAD!

Great Finish
If you're looking for a way to polish the final mix or as a last step in your mastering chain, this is it. It's the final layer that buffs and polishes the overall sound. Love it.

Easy quick-fix plugin
I was told how amazing the UAD tape plugins could be and I found out straight away with this plugin. Simple to use, great presets to start from, and great sounding results. I found the slight bass bump, gentle compression, and warmth/saturation of this plugin to instantly improve a variety of sources, from kicks, to bass guitar, to vocals. All this in a reasonable DSP cost package per instance. Killer plug.

Double-edged sword
Be careful with all digital saturators. The oxide tape likewise makes the sound stronger and weaker.

Master Of The Two Bus
Just put it on the two bus and watch it turn a good mix into a great one. Best tape emulation period IMHO.

Options
UADs Studer A800 takes whatever you give it and gives it back with a high quality sheen. The options to customize the settings makes this more than just an emulation. It's like having a tape toolbox. There are also plenty of useful presets that work well when you mix into them from the outset. Another hit from UAD.

Use it all time!!!!
