Great easy to use tape sound
Just as the title says , I have all the tape plugins and this one is definitely the quickest to use ; easy presets to make your tracks sound better

The best tape simulator period!

That's the "trick" of mixing
If you never used it, you don't know how you missed it.
That's the way mixing becomes this warm and smooth character you'll never achieved with conventionell plugins!

love it
I throw it on the mix bus for every recording. it makes everything sound "huge" and well tied together. I would recommend the Oxide to anyone.

Instant Goodness
Doing mostly acoustic work I appreciate clear sound, not saturated or compressed noticeably. Maybe that's why I never really got into the Tape-Thing until I heard Oxide-demo. I did a comparison with other VTC's, that either rhyme with 8 or something to do with atmosphere and sea, over 5 songs. I think I could, in the end, get my tracks to sound like that : opener and with a much clearer ambience. But it would take me a lot more time and several plugs. On the bus it really made a quick, one stop difference from "okay-ish" to "yeah-that's it" pulling instruments and vocals together in the stereo field. I do mostly use the 15 ips without overload on the input. Great! Thanks UAD for an affordable VTC.

A NEW KIND OF MONSTER
I've had the pleasure to work on real Studers and Otaris a few years back and I own a Tascam MS-16 1" tape machine, and both the UAD Studer and ATR plugs, so I guess I have a pretty good perspective on how tape really does sound and what plugins can do in terms of fatness and saturation.
Being a little skeptical as this new plug was released, and owning it's biggest brothers (Studer and ATR) I thought this was just a cheaper version for people not willing to spend the 350 bucks. That was until I demoed it!
Oxide is a completely different beast than its older brothers. It imparts attitude and 3Dness that I love. It's a must for all tape aficionados & saturation seekers. This is not an upgrade/downgrade from other plugs, its something else.

Oxide!!!!
I love this plugin! It really glues my mix together and removes some harshness even. I have used the Kramer tape version and it doesn't compare to my ears. Good job UAD !!!

Studer A800
Beautiful beautiful seamless sound. Very very happy I made the choice to use UAD products in conjunction with my Apollo. Far far superior to ANYTHING by waves. Awesome:)

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.

Adds something to my low end that I like
I will certainly use this plugin regularly as the saturation type sound it adds to my low end particularly, is pleasing.

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

3-Times The Charm
I already have the Studer A800 and Ampex ATR-102 plugins and I use them all the time. The reason I got the Oxide Tape was because as soon as I put it on the stereo bus, the mix got clearer. Some the reviewers claim you don't need this plugin if you already have the other two. No, you don't, but they are different from one another. I recently added the Oxide Tape to a stereo drum track and it brought out the clarity I was looking for in the snare, hi-hat and cymbals. It was not like an enhancer or EQ. It added that crystalline analogue quality you find on 70s vinyl, which is exactly what I was looking for in my production.

Amazing!!!!!
Simply amazing!!! Entry point for analog tape emulation!!!!! Real Phat Sound!

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...
