Great sounding plug
I've got some prior tape experience, and I feel like the compression and distortion that this plug offers is similar. Is it identical? I don't know or care. I do know that it adds a subtle, yet noticeable compression and smear (in a good way) that sounds perfect on some recent work I've done.

Try all of them.
I upgraded from my original versions of the plug ins and enjoy them even more now.

Just like Having a Console
I bought the Apollo Duo and did a bit of research around which channel strip to buy (SSL, NEVE 88RS or API) and I found that the API had the most positive reviews and also the most features for a channel strip, so I thought I would start there, and I have found it to be incredible. The pre adds some great warmth when run using Unison and all the other features make up for a set and forget type of tracking experience. I am generally working from a recordist mentality to I don't mind the DSP usage as it's only running when I hit record, and its so nice to be able to mix tracks just using the faders now that the sounds captured are so perfect through the Apollo and UAD plugins.

Pleasure for my ears!!
I had my doubts! I have the Slate VTM and thought why another one? I wanted a warm distortion on a snare drum.. my TS808 didn't sound right.. thought about a saturator and somehow I thought tape saturation/compression might be it.. plugged in VTM... naaaa, not at all what I wanted. There's this new Oxide tape, I thought... Gave it a try and demoed it.. Plugged it in, turned up the input.. tried that thing on a bass guitar.. went straight to UAD and bought the plug in!! That's the tape sound I always wanted!!
Not much DSP is needed. That's really a great job you've done here... Thank you!

Easy GUI, DSP friendly and sounds great!
Had the Studer and loved it but with just a Twin Duo couldn't afford the DSP to use it on every track. Oxide is the answer - for anyone using the more modest Apollo devices this gives you the Studer experience without the painful DSP usage. Incredible job UA!

Warmth
I really really had a doubt about buying this plugin. And even though there are many videoclips in which people explain what it does, most of the time it was so subtle, I didn't hear it.
I took the risk and now I finally understand (or rather hear/feel) what's going on. The sound I have always listened to in the 70's, was all recorded on tape. And that "feel" is now also in my own music.
When switched on over a drumsampler, it somehow makes it all more enjoyable to listen to. When switched off everything sounds somewhat harsh and digital.
So in the end, I'm a happy man. Thanks UAD

Mojo!
Have only used the hardware on a couple of projects so can't really tell if it's spot on or not, but this thing has mojo! I usually only mix with hardware compressors on the mixbus, but this plugin is one of the few out there that sounds analogue and that deals with complex program material in a convincing way.

Amazing. Beats all other 1176 emulations.
Amazing. Beats all other 1176 emulations. Considering selling my hardware.

Love this thing!
I am absolutely blown away by how this transforms my recordings. While it sounds great just as a plugin, when using it as an insert with the apollo and engaging the unison technology, even when just using the pre-amp part of the strip, it imparts a very focused and crisp sound with very detailed mids and tight lows. This is especially evident when you start stacking the tracks - amazing! I love the preamp simulation and the EQ, but do not really use the compressor, however I feel it's worth way more than the price of admission. If you can't make a good mix with this, you're doing it wrong.

Dream 'Verb
SO much of the music that I love has used this reverb as a foundational creative source. I never thought I'd be in a position to even get close to a reverb with this sort of character. The additional features hidden under the control panel bring another whole layer of fun. I find the ability to fine-tune pitch-shifting particularly appealing. Thank you UAD for another sonic gem in my arsenal.

Ladies and Gentlemen…The Lexicon 224! The King Of Reverbs!!
This Machine together with the 480 don't need presentation…
If u want to touch the sky with a finger…welcome on board!
UAD made such a superb job!!
I have only one suggestion…will be really great to have soon the possibility to set the tail of the 224 as “Infinite” (without affecting other parameters) to create such amazing and endless possibilities in sound design prospective.

A must have in your recording chain
I got it mainly for tracking with my Apollo, the preamp I choose to track It depends of the source but the chains always includes the Studer.
In combination with a 1176 or a LA-2A It gets your dynamics controlled at recording and i do less processing later at the mix.
Made some console presets for bass and guitar with several plug-ins combinations so when a want a precise sound it's really fast to get it and adjust for the track.
Get a good sound at recording spares you time at mixing and this plug-ins in my workflow helps me a lot with it.
I'm doing some tests with it on group busses but not yet comfortable to change my PT template, but the result on bussed drums and guitars it's quite good.
I usually take out the noise.

Favourite 1176
Hey,
got these during Christmas this year and the year could not have ended/started better. These wipe all other 1176 plug ins I have of the table. Super sound and really authentic. Only problem is now I need more DSP power :)

Superior tape emulation
For the longest time, I've always steered clear of tape emulation plugins because I never liked how it affected the bottom end (especially with mixes which significant sub 60hz energy). Because the plugin only really has two controls (tape inch mode & input knob), UA has very cleverly chosen to provide us with basically two ways to approach it : one rather transparent, where the bottom end remains nearly untouched but where the midrange benefits from compression & highly level-dependant harmonic distortion (the 15" mode - ideal for modern hip hop mixing), the other with a much stronger behaviour (the 7.5"). Note that it will always change your sound, so you'd better mix into it from the outset.
M. Ihmor
Awesome.
I was a bit sceptical why I would need a channelstrip plug for mixing only applications. For recording via Apollo it does make a lot of sense. But if you slap this badboy on kick and snare, crank the preamp section you'll add a lot of punch and character. The 4 Band Eq gives you an extra option compared to the e.g. 1073. If I knew how awesome this thing sounds, I'd skipped the 1073.
Also recommended on Vocals or for cohesiveness on busses.
