Pristine Quality and Realistic
It's all been said so I will just say this is as close as your going to get without spending a few G's on a hardware version. It is a must have for everything from Vocals, Acoustic Guitar to Drums, Bass and Lead Guitar or Piano! You need this to get that sound.

Smooth and Deep Bass Kicks
I'm not writing this review to get a coupon or something but the Oxide tape is just amazing on the kick drums. Recently I had to EQ a track which was miked near the sound hole of a Cajon and I tried using an eq to get a nice round punchy sound but in vain. Probably I should go back to my book on EQs. Anyway I just put this tape across the track and there I was smiling " What the Fish has UAD put into these things? This was just the sound I was looking for...!!!"

Great tape saturation - easy on CPU
So satisfying to add 30+ channels of saturation on tracks and instantly have them play fatter and smoother. Even more satisfying to see that it is so easy on CPU.

Pretty Dope
I can't lie, this thing is awesome. Really brings out the depth in just about any source.. Even on the Mix Bus.

Sculpter le son!
Le plugin que j'utilise le plus sur mon projet actuel! Vraiment efficace pour "sculpter" le son de la grosse caisse ou de la caisse claire. Je l'utilise même sur une prise guitare. On obtient facilement un son plaisant, soit feutré ou plus cissailé, juste en tournant quelques potards, pas la peine d'avoir une formation d'ingénieur du son pour obtenir un résultat aux petits oignons ;)

You'll try it... You'll love it!
Simple, straightforward, smooth and light on the processing. Useful on the master as well as adding some character to busses or instruments.

Smooth
Really smooth, simple and easy to use. I'll say you can hardly make things sound bad with this. Give it a try and you'll fall in love at first listen ;)

Real or not...?
Can barely tell the difference between the tone of this and the original low serial LA-2A that Ive had for years. I'll always love the hardware, but now I can run as many as I need on a session!
The only downside is these plugins don't quite seem to have the 'sweet spot' that an original LA-2A has, when you hit the right spot and the tone just jumps out catches your ears.

My new go to
Got it for low DSP and to insert it 1st on every channel to simulate an 16 track tape recorder. Love it and reminds me of the good o'l 80's days...

I love this plugin
I love this plugin, I use it in all my productions, I also owned the real machine but now I prefer the versatility of the product and when I also need a clone pedal

Use it once and you're hooked.
I originally bought this Tape emulator as sort of a consolation prize since I don't have the money for the Studer 800 but I've got to say that I'm pleasantly surprised with how great it sounds. And while there might not be as many functions available as with the Studer, I'm loving the simplicity. You can still get some various tones (basically brighter or more mid-heavy) and the saturation / output combos are endless. I use it on almost everything since it has a low dsp usage. Drum buss, acoustic guitars, male vocals, etc... all of it sounds great, even without any adjustment! This has replaced compressors on a lot of my tracks since slamming the input really does the same thing but with a much more grainy, analog sound than your average comp. Totally worth the money.

The best eq I heard ever!!!
This collection emulates the hardware perfectly and its great for live instruments such as drums vocals and percussions as well as sample libraries I'm really impressed its a must have I will be producing a video soon on the amazing sound this collection can do ...

Gave up my hardware.
I was so impressed with the UAD LA2A collection that I sold my hardware unit (Wa2a). The quality, channel count, and work flow is what sold me. I do somewhat miss having physical knobs to turn but for the mobility and quality it just makes sense to have a great ITB option. Love it!
