Good UA Tape sim
This is an excellent tape sim and very affordable. It doesn't touch the Ampex or Studer in capabilities but offers a lot for little. This is a good place to start if you want some tape sound but don't have a ton of money for the brand name machines. I still throw it on tracks even though I own the others. A great deal!

Another one!
I own the two big brothers and I must say, I was putting this off as I didnt think I needed more tape machines in the mix. WRONG! I demo'd this one night and purchased the next day. I am often grabbing this over the other two for certain situations. If you demo it, be prepared to buy!

Killer Comps
Can't go wrong with the LA-2A collection bottmline. They are sweet like sugar. Buy them! I love them on vocals.

My Review for LA-2A plugins
Got the collection and tried them out.
I found that although there's only two main dials to work with, you can find quite a large range of settings.
Smooth is a good description of when I was getting these plugins to hit there stride as far as dialing them in effectively.
Works well with 1176's when using them together.

FINALY!!
i wait this plugin!!! i love this sound very well!!!
J. Jackson
Awesome!
I had to choose between this and the 1176, and I went with the LA-2A mainly because I like the way it sounds on vocals and acoustic guitar. I do plan to get the 1176 later, but for now the LA-2A is great.

Best LA2A plugin
Amazing on vocals. Very smooth, and the emphasis knob is so useful !
C. Papastephanou
Best tape plugin.
To me, this plug-in is the best on in this genre. What this plug-in brings is really good.

Finally!! (Feeling relieved)
I trialed the Roland Space Echo (the previous iteration) months ago and loved it - tried it on some guitars and was blown away by the vintage sound - then I went to buy it and found out that it had been withdrawn due to the contract between UA and Roland expiring - I was gutted - anyway - fast forward 6 months and this new one was released - the next day I bought it - amazing. Nothing more to say!!! Go get it!

My 'go to' compressor for vocals!!
I already own a few compressor plugin emulations but had a try on this one and felt it was a real necessity - it has a richness and authenticity to it which contrasts it to the 1176 plugins - a real weapon to craft top class vocals - buy it!!!

Galaxy Tape Echo Review
This plugin has an amazing sounding spring reverb(and tape delay, of course)
The first time using it, I plugged my guitar in and set it to reverb only, played a chord and BAM! It added instant Dap Tone like vibe to my guitar. Combined with my AKG BX20 and EMT 140 Plate Reverb, I have all of the ambience processing options I will ever need. Again, another fantastic product!

Example Lead Vocals
The Lead Vocals at example is flat! Why?
T. van Ginkel
Amazing and easy to use plugin! Perfect on Vocals!
I think this bundle of the LA-2A is just amazing. It works perfect, especially on vocals. I use it on every project! And it is a very simple plugin to use but it sounds great! It is one of the best plugins that i know. go try it out!

It works
Having the studer and this one I feel is a good combo for individual tracks. If warming is the task, with the first one, if some shine is needed with the second.
T. Miller
A simple way to add life to the mix!
I found this tape emulation very easy to use and really handy to immediately add that tape sparkle and warmth to individual tracks. When you push the settings a bit it adds a soft compression which is a great starting point for further processing. Puts back some of the "life" that is so often missing in digital recordings!
D. van Haarlem
This Classic Tape Delay is a must-have!
I Love this one on Vocals and Guitars! It gives a kind of space and vibe not to be had with other reverbs and/or delays. It doesn't carry the Roland name anymore, but it IS that sound! So go for it and enjoy it... I surely do!

Are you Tape experienced
Came with Apollo USB Twin promo - I've experimented with it - yes it does as advertised.
Research saves resources.

My number one tape
This tape machine is my absolute favorite. It has the sound characteristic i crave for. It is easy to tweak and not only glues the instruments together; it gives them depth and warmth. Although with very few adjustments available it does give big possibilities. I preferred this Oxide Tape to the Studer multi track.
A song recorded on this Oxide tape and the whole printed to the Ampel Master Tape . . . just fantastic!
