Great Punch and Warmth
Right out of the box this plugin adds a tasteful amount of character to everything from drums to vocals. The low end punch and the high end warmth it provides can make a huge difference either on an individual track or a master bus. Loving it

12 does not equal 5.
Two things about this "5 minute" video. First, it's 12 minutes long. I guess no one was counting. Second, the levels are so far off between the process and the non processed playback that the comparison is meaningless. Of course the louder track sounds better. Come on, guys...!

Awesome!
I put this one on each track's first Insert slot. The cumulative effect is amazing! I tend to like it better than the Studder and the Ampex. Will be back for more! Thanks UA for the awesome plugins!

This sounds really good
I just assumed this would be like the 610B with the LA2A tacked on (as the Oxide Tape was to the Ampex102 - only not as good) but this is a whole new beast. As the UA blurb says, this is for capturing an idea quickly, with everything you need to get a good sound fast. And it is that - and a lot more. First, the preamp does sound very similar to the 610 (a good thing) but the EQ that follows it is much more flexible than the 610 and really easy to dial in. Second, the opto compressor (while definitely opto in behavior) really applies itself to the incoming sound source, far more so than the LA2A. That’s not a knock on the LA2A, I love the way that box sounds. It’s just that this comp catches vocal jumps much quicker, really leveling a performance - as if the singer just had better mic technique. Its ballistics seem to move even faster with transient sources (a bass I tracked through it sounded way better than through any other opto comp I’ve ever used). And I’ll never use anything else for tracking a Sax. Tracking drums, not so much (just talking about the comp) - but it sounded great when I was mixing the stereo overhead mics. Overall, a great channel strip at a great price.

Vintage Echo sounds awesome on vocals and lead guitar
I used the Roland Echo back in the day and it was always a go to piece of gear. This plug-in sounds great and doesn't have all that hiss which was an issue back in the day. Very useful 4 long repeated delays on vocals and lead guitar. An extremely musical plug-in.

Perfect!
It's so quick to dial in the perfect EQ and tube saturation, perfect for quick recording.
R. Priori
Best of both worlds
I've never been a fan of any LA.2A plug-ins before trying this one, I never saw the point... they didn't add the character that those machines are famous for...Until now!
Yeah, I'm totally sold to this, it really shines on vocals and acoustic guitars and pianos.
Great Job!!

Goes on everything....almost.
From subtle to hairy, this sounds good on most sources. I’ve started to track through it in console, and if I don’t it’ll usually be on the daw channel

Great sounding Tape Emulation easy to use,
brings more punch special for Drums and Bass and brings it to a new dimension.
You need good Monitors with a day and precise Bass to really feel the difference.

wow!!!
i love it!! amazing plugin
.
Excellent
Beautiful color of the sound, sounds good on everything. Especially combined with an 1176 where the 1176 gets the peaks and the LA2A smooths the signal. Only downside is that I almost always reaches for it wich swallows alot of dsp.

최고의 리버브라고 해도 과언이 아닙니다.
최고의 리버브다운 성능을 내줍니다! 다른 리뷰들 다 별다섯개인데 별을 안붙인게 있는것 같네요 죄송합니다.
R. Dowling
I get it now.
I never understood the hype of an LA2A until I used this plugin. Other plugin emulations don't even nearly do what this does.

Great tape simulator
I've been testing out the MKII DUO and decided to give a few plugins a demo. For what I do, the Oxide tape plugin sounds great! I'm a podcaster and feel this plugin adds a little something extra to my vocals.
