UA Does it again!
I've been using this plugin for a few weeks now and this beat all tube tech/ pultech emulations on the market. Having worked with the hardware I can attest to the fact that this plugin sounds just as good if not better than the real thing. I say better because I have encountered pultec gear that was not kept in proper working condition and when the hardware is not maintained properly the sound is garbage. I mostly use the EQ-P1a, the high end is silky and smooth the bottom end thick and heavy. I love inserting it on my mix bus, which is something you can't do with the hardware.

LOVE THE OXIDE
LOVE USING THIS HIP HOP OR ADD IT ON TWO TRACK OR SUBMASTER TO ADD SOME WARMTH AND THICKNESS. DEFINITELY LOOKING TO TRY OUT THE OTHER TAPES EMULATION AS WELL

The word you're looking for is ... CHARACTER!
The difference that sets this LA-2A collection apart from the legacy model, and also models from other companies, is the very distinct voice of each compressor in the collection. the effect of the compression seems as light-handed as you would want it to be on the LA-2As, but even turning it on imparts a sonic effect on whatever track you choose - each has its own chunk and presence. And the LA-2 is simply a beast! I'm already seeing an effect on my mixes as I replace other LA-2A models with instances from this collection. WOW!
C. Bergström
Awesome!
This one beats the competition (J37 & Satin) by a looooong shot, it provides warmth and character like no other tape plugin I've tried. Put it on the master bus for extra glue and finish.

This on Bass = Yum
Well, I have Studer A800 which I use on my drums. Oxide finds its way on to my drums depending on what the track calls for but generally, this goes on my synths and sub basses. o.0/.
That is all,
Cheers guys!!! This thing is dirty!!!

Brilliant
As the owner of many 201's over the years this emulation is spot on. I use it on everything where needed.
Great work lads.

Adds warmth to any track
I put this plugin on almost every track. It gives heft and punch to kicks, brings Organs to life, and is a must use on any synth track, analog or digital. Love it and only cost me $19 after some vouchers.

The go-to units for vocals...
LA-2 is always in my recording chain. I also use LA-2A on guitars and bass a lot.

Pultec EQ
Quite possibly the best EQ plug-in for vocals I ever used! Smooth and natural!
B. Ioan
good stuff
Really good secret weapon for that analog touch.

dsp and track count vs other tape recorders
In testing this has served really well to provide capabilities for use across multiple tracks with less dsp load. That surely makes it worth it.

Nice to have the Roland Algorithms back
Sound the same as the RE.201 but it`s nice to have this wonderful Delay in the box

Brilliant
Easy to use with a warm and sweet sound and the possibility to drive it a little - What's not to like
I. Papagiannidis
All in one!
if you have this one you probably do not need any other reverb or delay... its so real so good for all applications.
sounds a bit vintage , but thats the thing i like most in it!
and the distortion that it has when you tweak it up it's very useful and sounds great too!
one of my go to plugins

The best Apollo Twin friend for tape emulator.
First of all, I have the all the UA tape emulations and I use them on my daily basis. Oxide gives me the tape sound that I need when I'm using on travel/hotel/home my Apollo Twin Duo, it´s DSP friendly and do not compromise the sound quality or resourses. Great sound and a real good deal for tape emulation, sometimes could replace Studer in some cases.
A. Ramani
Nice Tape Distortion
This plugin gives a nice tape saturation, and is great on the mix bus.

Wonderful delay and reverb
The best delay VST plugin!! Universal Audio Power!

Gives my vocal a warm bright sound
Just upgraded from the Legacy version.... and YES, there is a big difference to the better, cant understand why some says it sounds the same?
I have two wishes though...
1. Why not work the same way as with the Legacy with the ability to put all units together with one click? With one preset-list for them all?
2. It would be even nicer if the user-interface was based on a photo from a real "rugged" unit, I know it doesent affect the sound...just the feeling. Otherwise, five thumps up :)
