First plugins you should buy
The only plugin I always track with. I use external preamps into the tape plugin, and it always sounds great. No regrets committing on the way in.

Superb Tape Mastering & Tracking
Superb tape simulation and wonderful colouration for masters and tracking. This (and the Studer A800) both saturate in a completely natural analog way. The best tape plugins I've used.

Perfect Tape
I have to echo the other reviews here and say i's certainly one of the best tape plugins I've used. If you set it right when live recording tracking on all sources, you get some wonderful classic tape artefacts that just transform digital recording into something special and wonderfully, classically, analog.

This is far and away the best tape saturation emulation I’ve heard.
I’ve used many tape saturation plugins. Some really good ones. None make my tracks as “3D” as the Studer does. Put it on every track. An Ampex on the mix bus. ——- Bliss.

Should have been the first
When I first got into purchasing plugins for my Apollo, I started with a couple verbs and a delay, API/Neve preamp, SSL bus compressor etc. I thought that I would eventually get around to a tape sim, but they were pricey for what I thought they did. When Oxide came out, I grabbed it in a sale and figured it would be good enough for tracking, and it was especially considering the low price. Fast forward to virus lockdowns when I had time to archive old multitrack recordings into digital from a loaned tape machine. I fell in love with the color, and warm compression that I had forgotten about. I promptly loaded up the ATR-102 demo, and swapped out the Oxide on all tracks of some recent material, and BAMMM! There it was. It was on sale. It should have been the first. It makes everything sound warmer, more harmonic. Lustrous. The oxide still has its place. I can crank it for more of an effect that is quite enjoyable.

Must have plug-in for final touches on your track!!!
This plugin glues everything together so perfectly. I couldn’t imagine not using this on final mix from now on. This and the Studer A800 together is mind blowing.

An icon of its kind
Even after the advent of IR-based plugins, this one still hold its awesomeness. It's great on every instrument track and can be as simple or complex to tune as you like.

Honestly incredible...
As a artist that is grateful that I have the ability to very thoroughly produce my own records, I've been obsessed with the idea of recording to tape for some years now. On my mixbus, to help the vibe when producing, I've always kept stereo-imaging plugins and a bus compressor. I demo'd the ATR and put it on my mix bus and im literally never turning back. The depth, tone, width, space, feel, energy that it gives a record is unreal. it doesnt sound like the real thing as evident by the shootout with Fab Dupont but until i can get to the real one, this is beyond amazing for my workflow and sound. I cant wait to bring this new project to the world with these new tools.

Awesome
Amazing sound quality! I’d just like to see lower prices from UA.

Sonic Conditioner
I think the Studer A-800 plug-in is great for adding basic good tone to most sources. Quite often it is the right solution to tame down and absorb erratic sibilance and harshness, especially in vocals.
I think of it like a sonic conditioner… and that’s just with the default settings. There are a lot of options beyond that once you start exploring the presets and various settings.
I wish it had locked input and output controls, and I certainly wish UA plug-ins gave you numeric readouts of all the settings. But I still give it 5 stars because it sounds so great.

warm and smooth
After you put this plugin at the top of every track and do the final mix, you can really feel the huge difference.
a800 is surely live up to it's name.
