Silky
I have used the legacy version, but the new Fairchild collection is indeed very smooth and warm. I use it on vocal bus and it's doing all the magic I need.

Punch, Clarity, Depth, Glue
I got the demo of this because it kept popping out to me as I glanced through the plugins in the online store. This is hands-down the best tape plugin I've ever used.
The sound is wonderful. It glues a mix together, adds depth in the low end, smooths out harshness in the high-mids, tightens up the mix by adding that lovely/natural tape compression, and I haven't even mentioned all of the options you can tweak if you want to get specific.
The tape choices are brilliant for honing in on the specific sound you're looking for. You can get pro, Pop mastered, clear mixes through this or that warbley, thick, crumbly old demo sound. This does some extreme things if you push it hard enough but it's also easy to just bring in a subtle vibe-y Wow.

Exceeded my expectations
I've tried almost every tape simulation out there. Many of them are nice and do a trick to the sound. However the Studer is in a league of its own. Throw it on every track. It doesn't add that "hiss" effect just for the fun of it. The effect is subtle, but enough to change an entire mix around with it on every track. Game changer.

Unreal,awesome,sweet....
This is the first time in my life that i stick plugin in a daw and i smile by turning it up...i own another brand Fairchild that i used to enjoy,not anymore....just used it on a mix on a parallel bus on an Upright bass and it does sound like i wanted it to sound,fat.round but also it brought up all the finger noises in such a musical way.....it just sounds like all of those old jazz records i love....I never had a chance to listen to a real hardware fairchild but this plugin sounds beautifull CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection
What a beast! On a master bus it´s a must have compressor, also on bass guitar and especially vocals!
Certainly the best emulation of Fairchild!

Little beast
I was impressed by Oxide demo and decided to buy it 3 days after.
It does great job on drums and mix busses.
Be careful with it on master, because it significally boosts lows and highs, do not over-use it.

Must Have Plugin!
The perfect compliment to my UAD 1176s and LA-2A. I'm going to have to get a Satellite now just to increase my DSP!

Just Plug it
Without doing anything, just plug it & you will hear the difference.

Quick and easy better-Izer. Feels like cheating.

INSTANTANEOUS RESULT
Put it on your masterbus, and it will give your mix depth and layers, great plugins!
K. Salter
pleasantly surprised
I have only used this for a few weeks now but am glad I bought the plugin. Great in the mastering process for just adding a hair or removing a hair from certain freq's in the mix. I think this is going to be a very usefull tool going forward.

Has its place.
Having used a Studer and Otari many years ago, I think I may have a little perspective. Like all plugins, this has its place and I do not expect it to always work on every source, but is fantastic when it does. I love the simplicity. I can put it on a track and after tweaking for 20 seconds or so, I know if I am going to like it or not. If I do, then I can fine tune it for bit longer and I am done. I also have the Kramer Tape and I like this WAY more. Nice job UA!

Amped ATR 102
Plug in carries quite a bit of noise with it, I will see how it performs.

Very good reverb, has many presets.

Parfait pour les voix
J'ai acheté la LA-2A collection peu après avoir testé la version "legacy", qui m'a apporté un bel aperçu de ce que pourrait donner la version "collection". Je n'ai pas été déçu!
J'utilise principalement le LA-2A sur des prises de voix, mais il fonctionne également très bien pour des guitares ou des basses.
Le gros avantage est de pouvoir choisir entre les 3 modèles proposés, qui ont chacun leurs spécificités (vitesse d'attaque, possibilité de passer en mode limiter, emphasis...).
C'est d'une simplicité enfantine, et parfois, seul la couleur qu'apporte le plug, sans activer la compression, suffit à donner un résultat satisfaisant.
Ce plug est un must have.

Oxide's the Reel Deal
I recorded to tape most of my professional life, thousands and thousands of times. I've been in major studios hundreds of times, and have used most every brand of tape machine and type of tape. I've tried or bought most of the other major companies and producer tape sims. Only UAD's ATR-102, worked for me. It sounds great, but I use it as a form of EQ, saturation and level, because it really didn't feel like tape. Got UAD's coupon, bought Oxide. Oxide is the only plugin, really, the ONLY plugin that FEELS like tape. It was actually a little spooky. I don't know why, don't care that much why, but it's the first time I've felt right about a tape plug. Bravo UAD, whatever you did there, you've fulfilled a promise others have failed to keep.

Great Plugin
I can't say anything about it, it is very difficult to describe how great it sounds.
It is very easy to use & it gives you the sound that you are looking for in a second.
Just use one of the available presets and enjoy it.

Great Job
This is a great plugin to achieve fast results and great sounding tracks. It's not as dsp hungry as the ATR-102 (not as versatile too) so you can insert on every track and get great sounding tape saturation tones with little tweaking. Great buy!

Sounds Like Tape
Really cool emulation. Simple to use and great on vocals and drums.
