Kick ass
This plugin kicks ass. Great on individual channels and awesome on master bus.

I'm Master of my domain...
They have done such a great job on all of these plugs... it's hard to choose. And then... they let you demo everything... it's like playing with a puppy at the pet store... they know what they're doing!
This just makes everything sound richer and better... like tape... it really works. It brings that warm glue to anything you put it on... like others have said... Don't Demo it!!... you'll buy it for sure.. this stuff is like crack!

Brilliant !
What can i say that's not already said about this product ?
As a master plugin it's a must have for sure. Gives a final polish that's hard to describe. Subtle but soooo efficient for choosing a color that suits your mix.
The FX capability of the plug is fantastic too : Tape chorus/flange are really nice, wow/flutter can bring life to static sounds, and tape delays are great for vocals/guitars.
I'm rating 5 stars but wish i could rate it 10 !

Ouvrez votre son
Cette simulation est réellement efficace et extraordinaire. Le travail de profondeur du spectre sur un mix est précis , plein de chaleur et ouvre définitivement le son d'une manière positive. Même si les réglages ne sont pas simples pour qui ne connaitrait pas la "bête" originale, les presets sont intéressant , peut être pas encore assez nombreux mais très efficaces. La combinaison du studer en multitracks et de l'ampex en mix est un moyen parfaitement idéal pour ajouter une vraie touche analogique dans une chaine entièrement numérique.

Requirement for most all of my mixes now!
This is a classic tape machine. No doubt about it. The emulation...wow it just sounds nearly IDENTICAL to the real thing. It's recommended to be the last plugin on the master buss chain (maybe a limiter after it just to keep levels in check) but just be sure to watch your levels going into it otherwise it could distort! But this thing is great. It can be subtle and just sparkle up the high end or it can REEEALLY saturate the mix if you so choose. This thing can do it all. Want a little bit more of something but don't wanna mess with the overall settings? Just twist the EQ screws to taste and go! Great plugin, a must have for the master buss!

Instant Flavour
It's awesome.
I'll be honest - I'm part of the generation that grew up not using tape everyday.
I would be lying if I said "Man it sounds just like tape!" because I haven't tracked barely enough projects to justify that statement.
What I can say is I like what it does - subtle or extreme - i really like just chucking in on a track or two and see how things change.
Really cool plug in and awesome concept to have in the box!

Tape your bruises
Drums gets more plastic and become 3D-like. When you close your eyes you feel like standing in front of the kit.
One thing could be better: Gang control should be possible in different groups.

Just Wow!!!
Remembers me on old times when we drove MCs into red! But it's much more effective & much clearer over all frequency range!

For enhanced sensitivity Another You
Given my poor English skills, please.
To say that the world today is digital, people want warmth even in the digital
Yes. Because we're human. I like to be nice and warm wrapping. Representation makes it.
Is a plug-in I wanted. 'Cause I'm an emotional person who likes to be warm at the same time. I'm not an expert. I could not listen to people saying you're ok, I saw for the first time put the board on the master channel. Did you warm. It's ok to purchase, so you forever give love.

For enhanced sensitivity you
Given my poor English skills, please.
I told you to walk on the master channel, and it transformed into Shishi gakttae dance whenever you laugh, cry, express feelings helps. Es also very warm. So on behalf of you, you ttadeuthae ttadeuthae I'm looking for a woman, but does not want you ever gonna give use.
I am asking for the Kuji artworks Probablemente Popularity many people you want. But I give love.

simply awesome
I heard some people saying this plug sounds bad in the high end. Well. you are simply overusing it or you don't really know how to make it work. This plug is truly amazing, the best dynamic processor plugin, along with the studer 800, ever created. It's a the major step forward to the future of analog modeling. Put anything thru it, tweak to your like and it will wind up sounding better. Take your time to understand all the parameters, the character of the sound will change notoriously. I love it.

Gosh I miss Tape.
Well no longer this is just like me moving over protools tracks onto a magnetic tape deck for real tape saturation and a more polished sound.
This thing makes it sound like a finished record.
You do rememer records that spin around at 33 1/3 rpm.
Great emulation works wounders.

Lexicon 224 reverb emulation
I bought the Lexicon because everybody says it's the real thing. I have the real Verb Pro that I got with my UAD 2 card. I didn't understand all the parameters that go into setting up a perfect reverb so I have been using a Waves CLA app. With that you really don't know what you're doing when you tweak it. The Lexicon has many adjustments, more then I know what to do with but after working with it for a few weeks I'm blown away. I have been tweaking the presets a little and am learning about the nuances of decay, crossover, depth, etc...I find the slap is outstanding on the Main Out just before the Ampex ATR-102 followed by the SSL 4K G Buss compressor as a peak limiter. I have never made such great sounding MSTRs before.

UA tape emulations
i'm just starting to understandi the mixing and mastering processes. I have years to go before I'm an expert but I'm moving towards my goal with the awesome help from UA.
The Studer 800 has a compiling effect on the tracks during the MX. With the Studer on all instrument inputs they feed to the 2MX bus with a clarity and a punch that I have not experienced thus far in my 4 year romp through the DAW reality of Pro Tools. I find I don't need to mess with EQs anywhere near what I used to.
The Ampex ATR-102 is the final glue. it has very fine differences that bring out the clen punch on low material at slower speeds and a sparkle at higher speeds. I find the .5 in ATR tape the most effective for my work so far.

It's a mainly bass tool
What this plugin does to the low end is simply gorgeous. Glues everything together in a way I never achieved with just compression and EQ. Someone mentioned velvet earlier - that's the best way to describe it. The bass heavier the music, the more its gonna like the ampex. The transient response is nice too. Didn't really like what it does to the high end though. Most presets include a boost up there, and this sounds rather cold - some might say digital. So you're best off aiming for a linear high end response and get the sheen with other tools.

Sweet and creamy
Playing a mix through Studer (and Ampex) creates the same improvement one might find between icemilk and icecream!
Not sure if any of you guys were ever poor enough that your parents bought you icemilk but believe me... Its night and day!!!

Awesome plug-in That change recordings to "records"
I consider myself blessed to have come up during an era where tape was still relevant. It wasn't hard for me to transition into the digital domain But the further I got into digital the more I long for the warmth of tape. This plug-in allows you to have that tape warmth while operating in the digital world. The response and characteristics of this plug-in reminds me of a time when I fell in love with working in the studio. I can really appreciate having the Tape sound without all of the Tape machine maintenance.

THIS IS THE REAL THING
After spending 10 years trying to achieve a decent sound out of my box, this is it. Where all comes down to. You just can't get enough of the warm of this shit!! it's amazing, along with the ampex in the master buss it's just a non-sense not to get it
BUY IT EVEN IF IT'S 500 HUNDRED DOLLARS!! YOU WON'T GET DISAPPOINTED!!
A. Francesquetto
Very good
Very good, if you know uses it gets better, adds details that enhance the mix.
