Try it for yourself
The video demonstrations are OK, but not even close to working with this plugin on your own DAW and your own tracks. So try the demo, listen closely, play around, and you will NOT be sorry. I bought within hours of playing around. You won't need 14 days. haha Bought the AMPEX plugin too.

Stunning ...
... and subtle; I like the Studer much more than the Ampex.
Why? Its more versatile .. great plugin

The Best
This plugin is simply awesome. No other words to describe it. Thank you Universal audio.
J. Anderson
First things first...
I add Studer as the first plug in on every track, and I mean every. About half the time, I use an appropriate preset, the other half I leave at default with maybe a few tweaks. It really removes the brittle digital feel that I sometimes hear on my tracks. While subtle, it's real. It's by far my most used plug.

Seems good
I haven't had a chance to delve into this plugin too deeply, but so far it sounds good and adds a nice tape sound. Low cpu means you can use it on individual tracks.

What can I said...
I don't think any one needs some recommendations on this plugin... It just make music sound better!!! I use it all the time and it helps me to create really good separation on my mixes. is amazing on acoustic guitar and drums!

Tubey
If tubey is a word, then that Studer describes it. I picked this over the ATR, not sure why but it just felt better. I've tried out the ATR and I did get it, but I still prefer this better.

Warm it up
This plugin is incredibly cool on guitar tracks - fuzzing it out is what I'm after and found such a great tone when doing that!
S. Gilroy
Not Great
Duy tape, Cranesong Phoenix, and Slate VTM are my first picks but I need the DSP
So I bought it.

My Go-To Tool
The Studer A800 Plugin is simply amazing with plenty of useful presets. I use this on almost all of my tracks because I love the character the tape brings once the track hits it. It is very user friendly and more visually pleasent than any others I have seen!
R. Kirk
Great variety of tape sounds!
I love experimenting with the various tape formulations, speeds and monitoring choices. Really warms up my bass, drum and vocal tracks!
The only mild bummer really has nothing to do with the plugin itself.. I first learned to record using tape, and the Studer plugin kinda makes me miss the whole deliberate-ness of committing performances to tape.. see what you guys did? :-)

Incredible
I have the chance to use the real one and I'm so happy to have this plug-in. On of my fav UA
C. Borneo
analog awesomeness
I can't believe how much character this plug in brings to my sound!....if you are looking for a way to warm up your tracks....look no further :) STUDER 800! period.

Studer A 800 - Incredible
I have just moved across from waves plug ins to UAD. I had the full waves package and I have to say this plug in blows any of there tape emulation plug ins out of the water. Incredible and worth every penny for everything.

toneshaping
a great toneshaping tool, that can create lovely Fuzzy highend, rounded bottom and Dimension to the sound.
A. Bamshad
BRILLIANT!
This is probably my most used plugin of all.
It goes first on almost every channel strip for that subtly warm thick tape sound.
S. Derose
Awesome!
Played on every track! Feels like Im recording for real now!
D. Barter
Another win
I waited until my Apollo Twin came along, then jumped. My tracking world is changing. As an older guy whom fell in live with tape many years ago, I can now honestly say I close my eyes and I am back.
Thanks UA
