So useful for tracking
This is probably the only plugin I really need when tracking vocals. Reverb is nice but not always necessary, but a little LA2A compression with barely any latency is ALWAYS a good thing.

Competes with other great plugins - and only wins partially
Preamp and gate gets the most use when I use this plug - and that hasn't yet happened a lot. Pre for grit when Unison-recording non-processed (input 1) / processed (aux) guitar or bass and gate for e.g. drums with a lot of bleed. Both are great! Esp. the gate, messed with it and wum! - suddenly no metal in skin mic's. But when it comes to hi/lo passes, comp and eq I seem to choose 'dedicated' plugs, ie. native logic/cambridge, the 1176-/670-/la2a/-collections and bx v2/massive passive/trident. Why? Maybe the API can't match these. Maybe I just like to USE my other great plugs. When I got the API I thought I'd do API-only-mixes, but not yet. 'Till that day - where the API may shine - I guess I turned out not a channel-strip-only kind of guy.

Amazing collection
I tested a lot of compressor plugins but this collection is absolutely amazing! You can use these compressors for every kind of stuff and it sounds always awesome. I use them for a few months now and in every project. Great job UAD!

fantastico
this is my goto channelstrip.. its very easy to use and very intuative and it does sound spectacular.
the only thing i dislike is the stepped EQ section, i understand its the original emulation, but i would love if they make an alternative version with a non-stepped EQ, this would make it so much more versaitle.

magic
i dont know what they have done with this plugin, but this one is pure magic..
you can slap it on almost everytrack and it makes it sound better and fuller, more organic and more 3D
regardless if its your vocal channel, your drum buss, or your masterbuss
incredible!!
thanks ua for making such an awesome plugin

Costly But Amazing
I Demoed this for 14 Days and I must say it really sounds good. It's definitely one of the Better emulations out there.
I use the Studder A800 on A Lot of my mixes and I've grown very comfortable with it. I said let me give the Ampex ATR 102 a Test run after a fellow Engineer mentioned a Compilation mix he used it on that I liked. Man I must say this plugin Sounds nothing short of Amazing. I most likely won't buy it due to the pricing but If I were to buy a tape or Recommend one, It would definitely be up there.
Its very easy to fall in love with the Results.
9/10

Easy use + great results = LA2A collection
Well, I bought it and love it. I think everything has already been said in other reviews, but I'd just like to second that: Easy to use and easy to get great sounding results - I really like the serial 1176+LA comp 'trick' on vocals and the LA's on bass, overheads and synth/strings.

The Sound of Music
My main reason for buying a UAD card.
I remember when I was mixing the CD from my old band and, as much as I seek in Eqs that shining cymbals and the resonance of drums, and the bass presence as in my analog references, something was still missing.
After I sent my CD to the mastering, I did received my UAD and a A800 plugin.
Just one insert into the Drum Bus and anoter into Bass Bus.
All that I've searched during all Mixing time was there, at those two reels, to bring to digital domain all the harmonics and sonic sense of What we know as Music.
Today I use it also to my Mastering services, especialy to mix without this sound.
Try all the combinations of tapes and speeds to get the best result for you.

One of the best plugins!
The API Vision Channel Strip Plug-In is surely one of the best plugins I've ever used. I use it often for mastering and it gives the whole track such a warm touch which I can't describe really. You have to experience it on your own to get what I mean. Everything in it is really great but what I like the most are the EQs. I am really impressed and wanna thank UAD for this great plugin.
I can only recommend to everybody to try this great plugin out. You will be fascinated!

Ampex ATR-102- A Superb Plugin
Thank you to AMPEX ATR-102.
This is a Very great plugin from Universal Audio.
Thank you to Universal Audio for creating a product of such a high standard.
Whilst this review is particularly about the Ampex ATR-102, I have been further impressed by products of a similar high standard from Universal Audio such as -
EMT 250 Classic, Cooper Time Cube, Lexicon 224 Digi Revrb,1176s, Teletronix LA-2As/3A, Precision buss C,/Enhancer Hz, /KHz/ K-Stereo & Precision EQ Plug-in,Elysia Alpha C,API Vision Channel Strip, Little Labs-VOG, the Fatso plug, SPL VitalizeMK2T, Neve1081, CambridgeEq,Brainworx bx digital V2 EQ Plug-in, Dangerous Bax EQ Plug-in,Shadow Hills Compressor and the Sonnox Oxford Inflator.
I do not own any Apollo interface or any other hardware from Universal Audio. These plug-ins sit on the UAD2 Satellite firewire box. I like these particular ones because of their high standard of performance every time and any time they are brought into use. They just simply stand out and perform thee best.
As far as plug-ins go and besides the above mentioned plugs I have demoed and tried most other ones from Universal Audio and they are good too.
Cheers.

Amazing Plug In!!!
A Studer A800 in a plug in on every channel and you're recording to 2" multitrack tape, quite convincingly!!!

Weird but cool piece of kit
I struggle to understand this plugin, but I find that if I turn knobs long enough something beautiful always comes out of it. Thanks UA!

WHOO!!
Once again as far as others attempts on such classics UAD far surpasses them. Waves doesn't have shit with their versions but with all due respect to audio, everything can have a use. As far as real these are the ones! I am in love with the LA2 on acoustic guitars which I don't care for much compression on them usually but that one is just awesome sauce for it. The classic analog bundle is just pure bliss and daily uses for me and I don't hesitate their use thus cutting my mix times considerably not wondering what flavor I want.

Must have!
I use this on the 2-bus day by day and nothing beats this. It brings life to the song soon as you put it in and with just the right settings you just have a Amazing mix which were just Good in the first place.
Must have!

Buy this!
Seriously buy this! This is something that you should have in your arsenal. I pretty much just use this and forget about EQing as this thing can just give you everything. Mess with the control that are under the hood and you'll see what I mean ;)

Sound, which lacked !!!
Unique device. Excellent PREAMP, vintage EQ, very musical COMPRESSOR and GATE. And of course Cut Filters are very helpful in many situations ... I like the way it works with drums, bass, guitars. Not replaceable unit for me. Thank UAD !!!
