LUNA Pro Bundle

The most detailed sounding tape machine!

Other tape simulations may sound very good on some instruments, but none sound as good as the Ampex ATR-102 on a complex sound like a bus or master. The sound is very detailed and transparent, and at the same time rich and colorful. I love the xtalk, flutter, wow, the EQ - they sound so natural and add some magic to the sound (especially the shelf EQ, which brings a very beautiful air to the high frequencies). There are so many settings that you can use to find the exact sound you need. Definitely one of my favorite plug-ins!

Awesome

This gives you a warm sound that sounds authentic, but not old-fashioned.

This compressor is a miracle!

I've tried all sorts of 20-knob compressors and finally the LA-2A sounds better again :-) It's been my favorite compressor for decades! The Gray version is my first choice for vocals and piano (usually after another quick compressor). The Silver one I use more for other instruments. And the LA-2 is very special! It's very slow, but if matched with some smoother instrument (synth or pad), the sound becomes amazing!

What a change!

I’ve tried many API channel strips on my drum mixbuss but none of them sounded like this API…the 3D sound I was looking for is really there, and the EQ section is incredible.
Well done UA!

This plug-in sounds awesome on vocals!!!

THE finishing Tape!

Do yourself a favor and drop it in your master and be happy. Brings the mix home WAY quicker!

Studer a 800 is great

Amazing, magic and great sounding.

Very shine.

Get very clear and shine sound from this unit.

easy to use, limited features and reasonable sound

Century is one of those plugins that UAD created based on the knowledge acquired from modeling classic tube preamps. It is not based on a particular model. The idea is interesting. The result is satisfactory but not one of my favorites. It is interesting because it uses relatively little dsp and in addition to emulating the sound of a tube pre, it also has a compressor and equalizer (although very limited). Don't think about doing heavy compression. Only moderate adjustment provides a reasonable result. The equalizer, also used sparingly, offers additional color. In any case, adjusting these parameters moderately, in addition to the pre emulation, will undoubtedly obtain a better sound than the native Apollo pre. I recommend it for those who have little DSP and/or those who are just starting out, due to its ease of use. However, for those looking for a great pre-tube modeled tone, there are better options. One last observation: the output volume is low, even when properly adjusting the signal. This is a project problem, which UAD can easily resolve, and make the updated and corrected plugin available to users.

Just buy this already

I use it on every mix, easy and great. Oxide is cool, but not Ampex cool.

It is what it is

I love it. It does something that other eq plugins cannot do.

Mind and ear- blowing

Admittedly, after buying the Waves J37 plugin, I no longer wanted tape emulation on my songs because the sound was flat, empty and loveless. When I bought the Studer A800 few days ago because of a promo, it was exactly the sound I had been looking for for so long. Warm saturation, rich in detail, deepening and a slight shimmer that brings depth to the songs. I am so thrilled. The only downgrade is the heavy CPU load and that the native version doesn't have the Gang CTRLS feature. Please update this version - if that is possible for you. Thanks to you incredible UAD Team.

Great synthesizer!

The huge selection of virtual synthesizers can drive you crazy for a while. But strangely enough, I bought PolyMAX Synth without hesitation. Amazing filters and effects are on board, and the best part is the authentic retro sound. Simply bombastic. If you need exactly that kind of mood, this synthesizer is simply wonderful, as the saying goes: take it and use it. I was pleasantly surprised that I could at least find an argument for spending money on this purchase. Thanks to the development team!

Super

Schöne Klang

Very nice

This plugin sounds very nice.

Just Buy

with bundle or edition. u never regret

UA Connect ruins it

The channel strip is amazing it sounds really good on anything you use it on. The problem is that UA Connect is so horrible that it ruins the experience.

add punch

very nice, add punch and clarity, very specific each channel

Lets tape everything

I was waiting few Years to Buy Ampex® ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder And Finally In have it in very good price, so happy to work with it , and So Creative to improve my productions , May God Keeping Blessing the Team of Universal Audio , I will Like to See By Universal Audio A tape machine in Near Future with multiples Sonority of Those Vintage tape Machine All in One machine.

Total waste of money

Went back to the free Ableton echo, as this has no tail and really is just a bright reverb.
