Top Tape Tracking Tool
This thing is powerful. I use it for drums mostly, but have used it on guitars and vocals too.
Sounds great when pushed into the reds on peaks. I try to aim for +1 or +2 on the meter with drums.
If you use the Ampex tape plugin, this is a nice compliment to that. Together they can really get an authentic vintage sound.
I've only worked with tape a handful of times, but this gives me the freedom to play with it and not worry about breaking anything.
Getting creative with this can also give you some cool effects!

Tasty!
This plugin is fantastic! It will always be on my 2 Bus. It's also great to use on anything that needs some warmth, and is a life saver when it comes to taming harshness (like in overheads, brittle guitars, etc). I have barely cracked the surface as far as all the fine tuning you can do with all the internal components. I actually find the "noise" function adds some air to the final mix if it's recorded cleanly/properly. My one and only minor complaint is that it is a DSP hog so instead of giving it 5 stars, I'd give it 4.9 stars. You guys are the best. Absolutely love everything I have by UAD which is quite a lot.

my vita of reverbs until lexicon 224
I startet recording at home about 40 years ago.
My first reverb was a furman spring reverb, .... not bad
the second one was a Dynacord drp 16, that seemed in that times quite modern, but i had a terrible humm on the gear and didnt know how to get rid of, now i would know
third one was a Roland drv 3000, then tc electronics 3000.
But the lexicon makes the best and fullest Sound i have ever heard and justifies the very best rumors about it, since a normal musician never could get in the near of this Kind of gear without a Major deal.
But now we can
Yeah!!!.... Peace!!!!!

"life changing"
the ATR 102 is incredible on the master buss.. it now resides on the end of my mastering chain for every song.. Refines the low end, and makes the hi end really nice ...

Amazing!
This plugin only dramatically enhanced the sound of my mix. I love the variety of options you can choose from which gives you the ability to use it in every genre. In my opinion, this is the first UAD plugin every user should buy.

Great EQ
I love the sound of this EQ. It is very smooth on the top end and adds just the right amount of roundness and punch on the low end.

Just Brilliant!
Having used Slate VTM for some time I had heard a lot about this plug so obviously once I got on the UAD train it was essential I check it out. It going across all the tracks is where it is at. While I love the VTM still and it has a place being my 2buss tape The Studer has taken the individual tracks in spades. This plug brings so much to the sound you will find you need less compression and eq. So much to the point where you will be doing things like a real engineer and only using them as need be basis. Meaning rather than throwing a bunch stuff on tracks once you get things close to where you want them you really question if you need anymore! Great plugin and worth getting because it will be used every session which makes the cost worth

REVERB MAGIC
This reverb simply sounds amazing and is so simple to use just like the true unit, I have been able to see the real unit in action and it really is incredible to hear in person. The snare sounds and vocal sounds other engineers were able to pull off with the hardware was nothing short of amazing, demoed this bad boy out and was able to get the same colors, I had to buy it. This reverb has an openness that is simply not available anywhere else. Grab it demo it, you need to own it.

Tape for idiots and savants !!!!
I will start this review by saying that I am a mediocre mixer and came up in the age of digital.....Despite my skill as a producer/writer/pianist I have little to no understanding of proper tape technique. That being said, tape plugins and mastering suites as a whole are great, but often overused and fall victim to "preset syndrome"......Often times I select a preset and it wows me, but is actually doing harm to my mix, and I end up getting blasted by the mixer. The ATR has presets that are actually useable. Its the perfect plug for someone with great ears that doesn't really understand tape OR the old school guy who knows and loves tape but spends their energy complaining about how digital sucks. No more, ATR-102 FOREVER!

Sutíl Saturasion!!
Lo he usado en Buss master de Baterias.. y es muy bueno como realza los transientes agregando una pisca de saturacion... es genial!!!

One of my new favorites.
Can't really compare to the real thing as I've never used one, but I love this plugin. I love the sheen it gives at vocal by boosting a bit of 16k without making it harsh or thin. Also adds a nice subtle warmth to the low end without adding mud. Definitely a great buy. Even the legacy version is very good.
