Great plugin
Oxide is a magical plugin that every music producer will enjoy having that.
It's really nice and tighten up low frequency and punch to your tracks wich is difficult to set it up with other tape saturators.good to know that i have ampex 102 and studer a800 but this is something else.

GREAT ALL AOUND STRIP!!!!! Killer for Bass Shaping and Compression

Blissful.. A must-have if all you use is the Legacy currently.
See below really.. There are 5 stars all over the shop. Absolutely love these things, especially the 670. Amazing on anything, it seems to lift the signal as well as control it which is to to say it does what the hardware does. The 660 is a beauty too. I read somewhere that John Wood had one at Sound Techniques when he recorded Pink Moon and that's all he used for those tiny sessions. So I tried it on vocals and it is silky smooth as you would expect. Drums and the 670 are best buddies though. Lovely!

Big bottom
I find myself having to work the lows with a multiband a bit (which I do anyway) after placing it on the masterbus, but for my style of production (hiphop, alternative rock) this is the one seems to work best and it has taken over the Ampex position in most cases. Still use Studer for individual tracks.

Magical
Each la2a has something special about them with silver being my go to ALL the time for lead vocals. It just sounds awesome and smooth. I fully recommend that this should be a top 3 purchase when acquiring a UAD system.

The Beast to have
It was on sale so the decision was easy to get the Fairchild Compressor. It has a great sound that can be transparent or colored depending what you want to use it on. It is a very smooth Beast!

Sounds great
I was impressed with the 1176 series plugins once I tried them out. They have all the character of the original so I see why engineers praise them. Just get it and you will be happy.

This was a true reason to own a UAD device...
The studer 800A is among the best of the best with so many options and tape stocks to choose from. I cannot believe that Universal Audio doesn't have the same reputation as isotope's Ozone 7. I prefer the old-school soul way more and the warmer the better. I have no regrets with this plug in at all. It may be expensive but it makes my tracks sound very unique, which is what I'm going for :D

The Main reasons I own the UAD Mastering Systems...
Their Tape emulations are SPOT-ON and this unique Tape emulation is a ver good introduction to those who find the Ampex or Stuter 800A a little complex for them. But don't let that fool you. The quality is beautiful and has that warm and very pleasant sound in the peaks the few times it does peak :D

Easy to use Tape emulation
This came with my Apollo 8P purchase and was a pleasant surprise. It adds character and punch to tracks with a very simple to use interface. I will be using Oxide Tape a lot.

Simple and Effective
Love this plug in, so easy to use on my master chain. Underneath of the Neve 33609 compressor just brings those sonics I need out of the mix...HIGHLY recommend and a steal at the price.

Worth of upgrading
I'm a previous user of legacy product and using 670 mainly on master 2-track bus. What I found, 660 is an excellent compressor for mono all around purposes, it's was a missing piece between 1176 and LA-2A. Works extremely well with individual tracks like synth stabs, basses, guitars, as it has more aggressive behaviour

Works wonder on my Master Bus
This is what I always searched for and haven't found anywhere else, this amazing plug gives that extra tone and air on the Master Bus... loved it!
P. Shrout
Fat and warm
I have never had the privalage of tracking or mixing through one of these analog boxes, but I will say that the plugin sounds amazing. I have found a use for it with drums and guitars. I like it for some vocal applications as well. Highly recommend. I run a hybrid studio and will grab for this sometimes before going for one of my analog compressors. Great job UA! I look forward to seeing what you guys are working on now. Hoping for more preamps! Cheers!

just like tape without the fuss
Nice and close to the sound of tape, gives body and roundness to your audio and a little compression along the way.
I would not put one of these on every channel, as you would compress your entire mix too much, but for richness to instruments and vocals and possibly bass, it will give great results.
Anything a bit sterile sounding it will give some warmth back into the sound.
The beauty of this plugin is you dont need a team of technicians to constantly maintain it and keep it calibrated.
I love the sound of tape and this plugin comes very close to the real thing, without the fuss of maintenance.
Thanks UA for a great plugin.

Tape emulator
I don't know what it really does but I like it. Seems to act like a saturator.

crystal clear
This EQ is an amazing crystal clear sounding tool. I love it, I mastered with the original and I can say to have it as a plugin is so great in my workflow, cause there`s only a bit of mojo missing to the analog gear. And also to use it in mixing is an advantage. The only negativ point is the DSP Power, it need`s a bit to much for using it on solo tracks. On the Bus it`s perfect.
love it

UAD 1176 Collection
The best 1176 emulation plugin on the market! Using it on a daily basis, perfect choice for vocals, guitars and drums. It gives the punch i needed and harmonics are outstanding, can not tell the difference between real hardware and plugin.
Great UAD product as usual!
