At the beginning of my Mastering strip everytime!
Even when I place this on my master strip it pulls my track together on Default. The presets are always good enough to find a sound I am after regardless of the style of music I am working on. Cheers UAD!

Great Finish
If you're looking for a way to polish the final mix or as a last step in your mastering chain, this is it. It's the final layer that buffs and polishes the overall sound. Love it.

Master Of The Two Bus
Just put it on the two bus and watch it turn a good mix into a great one. Best tape emulation period IMHO.

Options
UADs Studer A800 takes whatever you give it and gives it back with a high quality sheen. The options to customize the settings makes this more than just an emulation. It's like having a tape toolbox. There are also plenty of useful presets that work well when you mix into them from the outset. Another hit from UAD.

Can't live without it
This plugin brings my mixing to another level... Great Character and impact!
Use it all time!!!!
M. Cartwright
great
I have been trying this plugin all over my mixes. I tried it with some keys and it added some incredible warble/vibrato effects when the wow & flutter were dialed up. It also sounds incredible for glue on the master when set with normal settings. Just push the input right where the signal pushes into the tape and pull back a little. I like some of the magic that happens there. It makes transients live in a happy place.

Smoooooooth
People complain about the low frequency hump, but that is what you would expect from tape! The low frequency 'hump' slightly tames the high frequencies and adds a smooth bottom to anything you feel is lacking those characteristics!

Every UAD owner needs this plugin in their toolbox!
Love the plugin for rich and thick saturation. Great at taming the highs for drums and synths. UAD do it again :)

Adds life to dead tracks
Great for master and drum busses. Can make drums sound nice and fat. It added some life back into tracks that were cut on a less than impressive console. Reacts very similarly to a real machine

A la fin, il ne peut en rester.... que 2 !! Alors je choisis ces 2 là
Je ne met jamais 5 etoiles à un produit ua, simplement pour le coté financièrement captif de la politique maison. Bref, ici, je ferais abstraction. Qui ne rève pas d'avoir enregistrer sur cette machine ? Ben là, on peut le dire. Yes, you can !! depuis que j'ai acquis ce plug, je reprend tout ce que j'ai en fichier audio pour lui appliquer ce plug sur chaque tranche audio. le resultat dans la couleur du son, dans le grain se remarque tout de suite. De même avec l'ampex, je met systématiquement une iération sur le master de tous mes projets. J'ai eu la chance de pouvoir en utiliser un peu un vrai dans ma jeunesse (ça ne me rajeuni pas..), et vraiment, c'est un produit sensationnel. J'ai même commencé à trifouiller quelques réglages sur ce dernier (utiliser le souffle, bidouillé les potards), c du pur fun et, en plus, je trouve qu'on sent vraiment la "Ampex touch" sur le resultat final.
Si je ne devais en conserver que 2 ce serait ces 2 là. Et en plus, je ne les trouve pas excessivement gourmand pour ce qui est apporté. Vraiment un must !!

This is the plugin that made me take the UAD leap.
This is a wonderful plugin. It comes very close to the original. This plugin goes deep in the amount of tones you can get out of it. I like being able to switch between the sync and play heads. This is a mandatory UAD plugin.

This is a deep plugin.
I have a couple of other tape and saturation plugins, but this one goes deeper than many of the others. I use Slate VTM (which I love), but the UAD Studer gives me a different color to work with. I like the way it saturates when pushed on the 456 setting. I have used Studer A800's a lot and this plugin does a nice job of imparting that familiar character.

Studer® A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder
Had bottom head and glue to your mix

Special Studer Sauce!!!
I owned the Ampex ATR-102 for a while - it was one of the first UA plugins that I purchased - I love using it on a master bus - but I wanted something for individual channels and trialed the Studer - really has this cumulative effect - the more you use it the more it seems to add depth and subtle warmth to a mix - go get it - you'll be using it forever more!!

Ampex® ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Review
From the moment I first tried this plugin on my entire mix, I felt like I finally found the missing link to a GREAT sounding mix. The number of different sounds you can get just by choosing different combinations of tape speeds, head widths, tape formulas, calibration levels, biasing, wow/flutter, hum/hiss and input/output record levels is astonishing!
A huge range of tape sounds are covered from lo-fi (3.75 IPS, 1/4" head) All the way to Ultra Hi Fidelity (30 IPS 1" Head)
A really cool add on is the tape delay control, which gives you tape delay effect, with variable time control.
A MUST HAVE plugin. Great Job UA!

Perfect companion to the 102
Been waiting to get this one since I already had the 102...sounds great..
R. Howell
So cool!
So far, I'm loving thisStuder® A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder. It really does sound incredible.

Fantastic!
I worked with tape for many years and was happy to abandon it when digital caught up. Tape is a major headache and hope I never have to touch it again. This plugin brings back some of that special "warmth" that those old machines and oxides used to give the sound without ANY of the hassle of a real tape machine. While not necessary for every application (I am a fan of clean digital sound), it is great on some tracks to add that dirt and classic sound. Very flexible and faithful recreation of the "tape" sound. UA has done it again. A bit pricey but if you catch it on sale, totally worth it!

Amazing tape emulation plug-in
I had spent money on a plug-in from the competition, never to use it again. This bundle is absolutely amazing. Studer for tracks and Ampex for mix bus or master. No way to get it wrong.
