Wow, Thump my Head, The Secret's been here all along!!

The ATR-102, The Studder 800 and Oxide all do something different and special.
In the Digital Universe nothing else can touch them.

Others, even the number 2 best sounds like a computer simulation, these things sound like you "Turned on a Tape Machine".
I started recording analog tape, from ping ponging cassette decks, 4-8tr cassette, 16tr 1/2 and 1", 16-24tr 2in many flavors to 2track 1/4 and 1/2 in of many flavors. When I record/mix music I expect certain "hard to explain" things to happen the sound that (seemingly) only electricity, transformers and magnets could produce, Until I hit that demo/buy button.

Once enlightened with these, "The Secret" was revealed. 102 Bus Glue, 800 Track Weight, Oxide, Life for digital synths and drums

Best Glue and Mastering Plugin Ever.

I was shocked by the result of this Plugin what can do with a master track or your mix.
The whole mix just come to alive like never before.
Incredible what u can achieve with the Ampex Atr 102.
I already own a lot of other plugins as such as Apollo Twin Duo. The best ever.
Nice One Guys keep up the good work.

Punch, Clarity, Depth, Glue

I got the demo of this because it kept popping out to me as I glanced through the plugins in the online store. This is hands-down the best tape plugin I've ever used.

The sound is wonderful. It glues a mix together, adds depth in the low end, smooths out harshness in the high-mids, tightens up the mix by adding that lovely/natural tape compression, and I haven't even mentioned all of the options you can tweak if you want to get specific.

The tape choices are brilliant for honing in on the specific sound you're looking for. You can get pro, Pop mastered, clear mixes through this or that warbley, thick, crumbly old demo sound. This does some extreme things if you push it hard enough but it's also easy to just bring in a subtle vibe-y Wow.

Exceeded my expectations

I've tried almost every tape simulation out there. Many of them are nice and do a trick to the sound. However the Studer is in a league of its own. Throw it on every track. It doesn't add that "hiss" effect just for the fun of it. The effect is subtle, but enough to change an entire mix around with it on every track. Game changer.

Amped ATR 102

Plug in carries quite a bit of noise with it, I will see how it performs.

Great Plug! Film Placement

I used the Studer plugin for a record that was in the scene of a major film (The Butler) (death of MLK scene by Fantasia Barrino) and on the sound track a few years back..... I had to make the record fit a time period. This knocked it out the park. It was so authentic that the film guys kept double checking to make sure that it wasn't a sample that needed clearance.... and the film mixers raved at how good the stems were. Thanks for helping to get that placement/engineering credit

It's a Medium

The Ampex Tape Plug-In has become a medium for me in my recordings, adding both glue and varnish to my pieces, so glad I committed to it.

Thank you Universal Audio!

a great alternative

I bought the UAD2 after testing this plugin. I own and love the Waves and Abbeyroad tape plugins. But this takes everything one step further. But you have to listen very carefully, or you'll overdo it! Watchout for HF boosts and bassdrum smear. If you stay just right under the "too much"-level, everything comes to life in a very beautiful way with this plugin. Killer on the drumbus!!

One of the best plugins out there

This plugin is probably one of the best plugins you can find in the digital domain. For mixing and mastering, this plugin delivers a sound that no other plugin can give you. Big thanks to UAD for making this emulation!

Great Sound of Ampex

Love the sound of this plugin. I love to add just a fine touch of Ampex to glue my mix. Great job.
It's a little expensive but it worth it.

Magie... | just magic

Macht den Sound einfach "weicher". Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass in der digitalen Domäne soviel analoger Sound möglich ist. | Makes the sound just "softer". I never thought, that as much analog sound is possible in the digital domain .

Nice.

This is a great plugin. A subtle combination of saturation, compression and smoothing of harsh frequencies - at least that is what it sounds like to me (I have limited professional experience as a producer)
What really amazes it me is that ,so far, every source I have used on it has been improved by it and I always record through it now (unless recording guitar where I run out of resources when using it in the correct position in the chain (after the pre-preamp fx and amp model- I then use it next in chain on my daw)
It is resource hungry but well worth it.
So if you want a source fattening up and sweetening - but in a very natural sounding/discreet way (and who doesn't) I heartily recommend this plugin

This Plugin Is AWESOME on the drum bus......

So far I've been trying this on everything and have found it to be extremely beneficial for drum busses or individual tracks. It doesn't sound bad by any stretch of the imagination on anything else I've tried it on; I just really, really like what it does for the drums. Nice, Fat and Clear.

Ok this is serious!

I am writing music 20 years. I am into electronic music from the beginning. I am from small country - Slovakia! I have write local hits, some of them have over 40.000.000 views on YT! I went trought hardware / software stuff during many years in studio! But all of these facts are not important!

Now the important part - there are no words, what Universal audio brought to the digital world of music production! And especially this AMPEX one is the cherry on the cake in the final mastering process!

Thank you!
