Elegant!
Easy to use, DSP friendly and efficient, I added it to my workflow as my virtual recording system. The improvement is impressive as it is subtle. Simply elegant. Thanks UA!

Galaxy Tape on guitar
I get this plugin a few days ago. I didn't know much about it, so I use it on electric guitar for some space effect.
I was really surprised by the warm sound and the deep effect that I get with this little plugin. I will try on vocal too.
Thank you UA for every plugin, they are great !!!

Nice sound
This is a decent sounding plugin. I found it is really nice on acoustic guitar - takes some edge off. Honestly, I wished I could have afforded the more expensive UAD magnetic tape offerings as Oxide isn't exactly feature rich.

Simplicity at its best!!!
In a world full of complex tape plugins emulations, this one feels like a winner. Sometimes simplicity is the key to creativity!. Really low on CPU =).

I love it!
when I used the oxide tape everything started to fix in the mix. I sounds amazing, I couldn't stop using it in almost everything. Is perfect for acoustic guitars and snares. It adds som really cool harmonix! just amazing!

Great for Cheap Mics
The Iron Oxide plug in does a great job of un spiking the top of digital recordings of voice with Cheap sibilant mics ! It is the single cheapest thing you can do to improve your voice recordings! Hurry up and demo it or just buy it!

Galaxy Tape Echo!
What a killer tape emulation! Already, I've used it to great effect on synth tracking - really glued the whole thing together nicely!

Dreamy, Creamy and Easy.
The EQP-1A always gets the most Spotlight out of these three plugins, and although its definitely one of the most flattering EQ's I have used. I feel that the MEQ needs to get special mention in this review. Most of the mixing difficulty comes from the Midrange. Terms like Boxy, Nasal, Muddy, Thick and strident all relate to a part of the mid range of the audio spectrum. So when it comes to these three EQ's, the EQP 1A sits on my master buss most of the time, but the MEQ tends to be one of the first options to deal with problematic midrange issues. Specifically with guitars and backing vocals.
The learning curve of the EQP1A took me a little while for it to become second nature, but once there all three of these became indispensable tools.

Old skool, old skool....
I have lent on this plug (...well, the previous incarnation anyway) for so many years now. I can't imagine a world without it.
A. Leons
Excellent
This one sounds great on everything! It sounds just like the original. I use it more than RE-201 which is also a great classic delay and echo plugin. Thanks UA!

Good Easy Controls But Still Takes Same DSP as A800
I appreciate the simpler controls on this tape emulation but I am disappointed that the DSP is still pretty high and appears to be the same as the Studer A800. I loaded 4 tracks of this and the DSP load was identical to what 4 tracks of A800 were.

My Favourite Plugin for Colouration
I bought this Plugin for only 50 bucks in the Magnetic Tape Month. I love the coloration of the Plugin. A few days ago I used it on a solo Voice and it adds a really nice Character. To Eq and Compress the Voice to my satisfaction was easier for me than without the Plugin.
I demoed and like the other Plugins like Studer or Ampex also very much but I never bought them because they vere to expensive for me. Also the CPU hit caused by Oxide is not so high which helps me to handle up to 6 Devices with my Solo Card.
So thank you very much for the Magnetic Tape Month and this new Plugin! :)

Easy Pleasey
I'm a long time Slate VTM user, and before that, Waves Kramer Master Tape. I've been finding myself using Oxide as a subtle Comp and EQ plug just as much as a tape emulator. Stick it on the first insert, tweak, and be prepared to suddenly feel like the track is sitting well without any more plugs. I still use the VTM, but Oxide has crept into a close 2nd. Who knows, by next month it could be my go to.....
