Oxide Lives On My Stem Busses
This was one of those plugs I bought the instant I demo'ed it - which is not uncommon with UA's plugins.. I send 24 tracks via stems to a Dangerous 2Bus+/Dbox combo for summing and an Oxide resides on nearly all my stems.. It's easy enough on dsp that I haven't needed to cut corners elsewhere. I like to drive it's output into the summing box hard on some stems and Oxide makes it easy to dial in what I'm wanting.. Kudos to the UA team! Worth every cent!

Oxide Tape Recorder Plug-In
I love this plug in. It absolutely kills Slate VTM (I'm convinced of that and the fg8 compressor do nothing. Nobody can tell the difference in my sound tests. I'm staying away from them.) However this Oxide Tape is really sounding shat I was searching for in the VTM. It brings out Drums and Bass perfectly leaving a light footprint behind DSP wise for us solo-flexis. I can use multiple instances if I stay away from the Manley Massive Passive for Mastering. I've using the Manley Vari-Mu in place of the Massive Passive and I get tons more resources and it sounds very close to the "Rock" preset on the massive passive. Cant explain that but it frees up enough to use the oxide tape on key tracks. I really like it.

Punch it...punch it real good
Having worked with tape for over 40 years has made me long for the days of the warmth and bottom end punch that tape saturation can produce. At last Oxide has found the magic button. Place this plug ahead of your final processing and watch the magic return.

Elegant!
Easy to use, DSP friendly and efficient, I added it to my workflow as my virtual recording system. The improvement is impressive as it is subtle. Simply elegant. Thanks UA!

Nice sound
This is a decent sounding plugin. I found it is really nice on acoustic guitar - takes some edge off. Honestly, I wished I could have afforded the more expensive UAD magnetic tape offerings as Oxide isn't exactly feature rich.

Simplicity at its best!!!
In a world full of complex tape plugins emulations, this one feels like a winner. Sometimes simplicity is the key to creativity!. Really low on CPU =).

Good Easy Controls But Still Takes Same DSP as A800
I appreciate the simpler controls on this tape emulation but I am disappointed that the DSP is still pretty high and appears to be the same as the Studer A800. I loaded 4 tracks of this and the DSP load was identical to what 4 tracks of A800 were.

My Favourite Plugin for Colouration
I bought this Plugin for only 50 bucks in the Magnetic Tape Month. I love the coloration of the Plugin. A few days ago I used it on a solo Voice and it adds a really nice Character. To Eq and Compress the Voice to my satisfaction was easier for me than without the Plugin.
I demoed and like the other Plugins like Studer or Ampex also very much but I never bought them because they vere to expensive for me. Also the CPU hit caused by Oxide is not so high which helps me to handle up to 6 Devices with my Solo Card.
So thank you very much for the Magnetic Tape Month and this new Plugin! :)

Easy Pleasey
I'm a long time Slate VTM user, and before that, Waves Kramer Master Tape. I've been finding myself using Oxide as a subtle Comp and EQ plug just as much as a tape emulator. Stick it on the first insert, tweak, and be prepared to suddenly feel like the track is sitting well without any more plugs. I still use the VTM, but Oxide has crept into a close 2nd. Who knows, by next month it could be my go to.....

Scrape the tape
A no nonsense tape saturation for cheap. It does enough to get that warmth and magic. The Studer and Ampex plugs might give you a little more parameters but this does the job without all the mess. Basically, does what you want it to do.

Tape glue
The Oxide Tape plug in give that analog color that glues a mix in anyways you uses it.
In Individual tracks, in a bus track or in the master tracks
The presets are an excellent start point
