Lovely tool to bring a mix together

Space is the Place
New convert to UA plugins, and getting great results from the wilder end of this amazing Echo. Adds so much space and atmosphere, and so much to explore - the presets are great to understand the possibilities

Tape Trio!
As many others here have said, this isnt a "lite" version of the Studer or Ampex machines. The Oxide has a flavor of its own! As someone who likes to fiddle with all the options under the hood its a lifesaver for short deadlines with it's "set and forget" design. Low DSP usage and the pleasant "glue" it adds when used across a mix makes this a win win for me!

wow!
UA has changed my life in so many ways....But if I had to pick one plugin that has LITERALLY been a game changer...the Pultec. I am fairly new to professional level mixing and mastering...I loop my djembe live ....pretty much everyone agrees that getting the low end is one of the hardest aspects of pro audio mixing....I was stymied and have been for years how to capture my djembe drum. I had everything sphere microphone and 76 UA plugins but it wasn't until I discovered the "Pultec Trick" on the low end that my life got so much easier! Look it up....boost the low end and attenuate at the same time....really shapes the sound!

Perfect for vocals
The LA-2A is a classic compressor on vocals. It really makes the vocals even without crushing it. My to-go-to vocal compressor.
H. Warmels
Great for guitar bass and drums.
Very nice to experiment with the different variants on all my tracks (drum, guitar and bass)
Great to have this. Got it with my Apollo Twin X
H. Warmels
Great on guitar and drums
I put this one in a send-bus and let varying amounts of the guitars and drumtrack (made in Logic, and exported to LUNA :-) thru it. Great!
H. Warmels
Nice for all tracks!
Gives a nice extra to all the tracks
H. Warmels
Nice sound with guitar as well
Just plug in a guitar and use only this plugin in Unison and play around with the knobs. Great fun!

Good preamp.
For me, I love V76 more, but this is also a great preamp if you are looking for some modern sound

Oxide OD
I put this on next to everything. If I’m in Luna I literally out this on everything. I love putting it on buses even on default settings because it just helps everything sit together nicely. Which is something that I was seriously lacking and having trouble with before this and other UA plug-ins.

Tube sheen
I wrote this off originally because I received it with a promo when I purchased my twin X and when I finally tried I couldn’t believe it. I’ve since demoed most of the unison preamps and I can honestly say this is top 5 for me for vocals.
O. Downie
Way better tha I thought
To be honest, o thought this was for rock. Just the sound shen you turn it on is nice. I have the B M , but this sounds much richer.
P. Stoppini
Incredible sound
It gives "that" touch to everything, from single track to the mix bus, once you heard it you are not able to do without it
R. Tulloch
If unicorns were Real (Deciphered Audio)

C. Alexander

brings an extra edge to my individual tracks within the mix. and that's brilliant .love it on vocals ,snare drum and bass, ooooh, fattener

Great for Summing
I went all in for what the Luna platform has to offer. This means running your tracks into the Oxide tape, and then going into Analog Bus Summing. I compared this with a slew of other solutions, including putting the plugins in other software, and using hardware analog summing dedicated hardware. In the end using a DAW or hardware summing sounded about the same, but the Luna platform is in a different level of platform. When combining Oxide tape with one of the Neve or API summming options and the ATR-102, its hard pressed to compare. I switch between the Oxide and A800, and they both have their best suited material. When you put it in one track or another it is not always apparent but when you listen to all the tracks individually running through it, you get real close to using real tape. I have not had so much fun with a plugin or platform since I left reel-to-reel tape in 2007. To me this brought back all the excitement I had so missed working with tape, but not having to deal with maintenance or parts or fixing or aligning, etc... Well Done!!

Einfach und sehr gut!
Klingt wie er klingen soll - einfach ein unaufdringlicher und nicht färbender Hall.
Wird bei mir in jeder zukünftigen Produktion seinen Platz finden.
