A MUST HAVE/NO SUBSTITUTE
The ATR-102 has made the most impact on my mixes out of any plugin I've purchased in the past few years.
I delayed demoing it because I already had the Studer 800 on individual tracks and the Slate VTM on my master (I assumed relative equivalency)... I just figured I had my "tape" bases covered. I could not have been more wrong.
The Slate vtm is a fine plugin in it's own right and I'm a big supporter of their software as well, but sonically these plug ins are very disimilar to my ears. The Slate is very smooth with a hearty low mid harmonic bump, great for taming digital "edge", but in my experience it veils aspects of the "sonic image" and transients whereas the Ampex actually enhances those bits. After much effort I just couldn't get CLOSE to the same, brilliant results of the ATR-102 (And boy did I try to save myself the $$$).
The "3D" analog effect, the full range of saturation & harmonic content... it imparts amazing presence without harshness. If your mix "sounds like protools" this is the fix. Demo it, throw it on the master and hear your song sound like a record.
It really is a magic "better-izer" kind of plugin, without "hyping" the sound. If anything it makes everything sound more natural & feel more exciting all at the same time. I've never heard another plugin achieve what the ATR-102 does. Truly breathtaking, top 5, desert island processing.
Thanks UA!

No-brainer!
I tried this on my drum buss and had to buy it. Works wonders on cymbals. Now I track with it on almost every track to take the digital sharpness away on the way in. Love it!

Practical...
I love the fact that you can use these plugins in a way that simulates the use of outboard gear. They sound great and the portability of the Apollo Twin makes all of this a practical investment.

Fast. Musical.
Sounds fantastic. Eq is very musical and you can get the sound you want pretty quick. And without using any other plug in, really.

My new compressor on the bus channel in the mix
Excellent.
Almost like the UA hardware version has done a great job.

Fantastic
The gloss of the oxide ribbon is perfect.
It also gives a very nice sound at low frequencies
T. Seeliger
Great functionality, beautiful warm sound
This plug in has a beautiful warm sound and the side chain works absolutely great!
Lat/Vert mode on drum bus: perfect!
It works for any other signal as well. Bass, Wah-Gtr, main and backing vocals and so on.
Great way to enrich your mixes, easy and efficient to use.
One of the most used compressor plug-ins I own.
S. Vester
Easy to use, great sound!!
It just helped me out adding punch to a snare, wich I somehow didn't`t get from another tool..
R. Quek
excellent reverberation
It works, nothing else to say, except perhaps that it works brilliantly!

Essential
When taking into account the sound, number of instances can use due to the low cpu loading this has and the price, it is essential.

Pleasantly surprised...
I know Neve and SSL gear so I bought the Neve 88Rs & SSL 4000 channel strip plugins as soon as my Apollo arrived. I had some time to test other plugins for my UAD bundle deal and wasn't intending on a third channel strip but thought I'd try the API out of curiosity.
Oh man, you run anything through the preamp section of the API Vision and it just sounds....I don't know how to say it except...expensive. Immediate add to cart for me!
Remember to flip the NEW / OLD switch on the compressor - some sonic voodoo going on there - I like it!

Analoge Gold in all it's Digital Splendour!
What can I say about the Legendary LA-2A and this amazing plugin version that hasn't already been said...nothing much.
It's the workhorse compressor everyone needs and loves. But it.

The Lexicon 224 Legend
Lush reverb tails with soooooo much tone. Wasn't sure about the fader and button interface at first but it's surprisingly intuitive and retro cool looking.
F. Sparagna
A fantastic tool!
This is a simple yet immediate tool, it can instanly give that particular enhance that the track needs without mess around with a tons of settings.

StuderA800
Great Tape Saturation ! One of my Favorite Plug In's
L. Rollins
Quick and easy, no fuss
A nice additional tape option for the arsenal. Recommended if you like to set it and forget it as there are not many settings to manipulate.
