Beautiful little DSP hog
I'm only giving 4 stars because this thing eats up DSP so hard to use in a mix. For tracking, however, it's totally worth it. I have a preset I made for my voice that I use before some light LA2A compression (mic is a clone of a Neumann U87). For 90% of the mixes I do (all with myself singing) I find that combination alone is perfect and I rarely need to mess with EQ/compression after tracking. I would love to use more in mixing, but similarly to the A800, the DSP usage rarely allows it (I have a DUO). So my only criticisms here are price and DSP usage.

Smooth tape emulation
I've owned this for a while, and I'm finally comfortable enough to write a review on it. Subtlety seems to be the key word with this thing. I don't like what it does to the low end, but find it can really warm up mids and smooths things up when pushed just a bit. I don't like kick feeding into it so I keep off of the master bus (or have kick by pass it); and same deal with drums bus. Saturating it a bit on vocals can be nice, but again subtly. This thing is a DSP hog, but I do love it for premasters. As a DUO owner, I tend to reach for other tape emulators first (e.g., J37) before using this for that reason.

Best channel strip plugin ever
I was not planning on getting this before demoing it but after I did I knew I would be buying it. It is such a useful tool. Preamp saturation, filters, gate, EQ, Compression and level control all in a single interface. The fact that it can be used with unison preamps make it indispensable for tracking. One of my favourite features is something that's often overlooked but the metering range on the compressor makes it very easy to dial in gentle peak limiting while tracking.

Nice EQ - Pultec
Very smooth easy handling. With authentic Pultec overtones.

Amazing recreation
Having spent countless hours operating a Studer A820 as soon as I insert the plugin version I can almost swear I can smell the acetate of s rolling 24 track machine. Being able to track through it with the apollo and mix with it on busses has instantly improved my mixes. Highly recommended.

Magic...
One of the best pieces of processing for your master bus. Instant vine and character. The EQ on this machine works wonders. Also using it as a tape delay has always been one of my favourite tricks on the hardware and I'm glad to see it in the plugin.

First class
Amazing plugin, makes the mix sound polished and final.
P. BREWSTER
Amazing!
I have not found anything closer to the real thing. Now if they could make a air freshener so I could get the smell of a fresh reel. Nothing like it.
H. Nakanishi
It's great and easy!
It's became my favorite plug-in since I tried once.
M. Lewis
Power Strip!!!
Where do I start? Absolutely love this plugin, l love the EQ,Dynamics,gate.. Thumbs up on the pre amp.

I Am A Believer!
I've used quite a few LA-2A's in my day and I was super skeptical when purchasing this plugin.... It didn't take long before i saw its core power! This compressor became my permanent compressor for my vocal chain when tracking/mixing in the box. Male, Female, low voice, a high nasally voice, it doesn't matter! UA made the compressors like virtual tanks!( And not a DSP hog like other units are.) *thumbs up* , Cheers!

Great as Delay
But not good as a mastering tape machine... not even close to the sound of original ATR. makes sound too mono and over compressed even on a low level. Sounds good as slap delay though.
J. Pierre
love it
thx uad for taking my mixes to the next level

perfect addition to Ampex
After working with UAD Ampex (which is in EVERY of my mixes - mostly on the stereo bus) i've fetched the Studer to my toolchain and are happy again - while the Ampex felivers a more subtle, but more "broad" affecting enhancement on nearly any stereo/mix bus the Studer seems to packing more heavily onto tracks, making it ideal for individual tracks to me. Compared to i.e. WAVES Kramer Master Tape it sound's a hearable step more higher / forward. This is an addicting tool which you will buy if you hear it - even. with the presets. As a next step i'll try to experiment with it as a sound design tool and investigate i.e. delaying / modulation "tricks" with it. From my view this (both) are just the best tape emus for mixing and mastering.
