Cannot. Live. Without.
My favorite UAD Compressors, hands down. Nothing compares to that all-buttons-in mayhem that only these plugs can bring.

nice job
There are a lot of plugins that attempt to bridge analog in to the digital word.
This one is more neutral than some of the others I've tried, which i like, and it doesn't take up any of my CPU's power.
It's been so long since i used tape that it would be hard to make a comparison but I do like what this plug - in does.

Worth It
Great product for adding that special something to your sound, Great little plugin that I know I will use on all of my mixes. Cant fault what it does to your sound.

one of uad's most must-have-tools
First doubting if this new tape recorder plug-in would be a starved design and mixture of the two well known UA tape machines, I took the venture of buying it at bargain. After using on a few mixes (not tracking thru an Apollo interface yet), I must say: the shop reviews giving laurels to it do fit. It is not only an easy and fast to adjust plugin but gives you the possibility of levelling tracks in an extraordinary way without loss on sound quality unless you want to drive it really hot. And, important to say, it is a slim programmed plug-in in the way that you easily can use 6-8 instances without getting your UAD-2 card on it knees while (in my case) still having a hand full other resource-hungry plug-ins plugged.

Must have compressor
I have never used the hardware version of these plugins but I have tried the Waves version and these win by comparison. I use them on vocals every time for a huge sound.

Great!
Oxide tape is great it sounds are definitely old school tape ... great job!

Fantastic
Having never used the hardware, I did wonder why this was such a classic compressor. All other 1176 emulations had left me slightly disappointed. I have used UAD's Classic Limiter Collection for about a month now and I have to say it sounds fantastic. It gives you that extra something. It sounds great on everything and seems to give a presence and clarity even when I'm not compressing. Very happy.

Warm Glue to a Mix
I have to say I've had the Studer and The Ampex Tape Machines for over a year now and I'm still very happy with them. I use the Ampex to finish my mixes, but the new OXIDE really has some new flavor thats great to spread across the tracks. Easy to use if you have used tape emulation before. UA is always getting better! Sounds warm and amazing. Best Tape Emulation!!! Thank You!!

Great sound in the box
I own a couple Fairchild emulations and this is the richest sounding of the lot. It's a great plugin!!

OXIDE is UA's Precision Version of Analog Tape
You have to come to Understand the Mind Set of UA, They Know Exactly What You want and Dedicate There expertise to Create The Tools you Need To Get That Million Dollar Record Sound You Long For...This Is to me the Precision Type of Plug In and solution for those whom are Craving that distinct Analog Tape Musical Distortion within a Minimal Budget.If the Studer is not in Reach here is your Alternative.....

Just Commit (to Disk) Already
In the past I've typically run vox through my Great River (etc.) and then either rent an LA-2A (hardware) or even through my DBX (hardware). Bought these right away and have no qualms whatsoever tracking through them in the UA console back into ProTools. No more second guessing and saving all the compression for mixing. They're that good. I'm not really compelled anymore to bother renting the hardware, this is as close as you're going to get. Bravo.

LA-2A Collection
Very impressive. After I try demo , I decide to buy them immediately.

Low End Character
This is an amazing Tape Emulator. The low end it brings to your tracks is just spectacular. I place this on all my busses and it just brings the song to life. I could add it on every track but I like to be realistic with my plugin and DSP use and find just using it on every buss/group works great.
K. de Wit
Drums yeah
This is a must have compressor for use on Drums. Nothing compares to this.

Character
Wow this plugin just adds so much character and warmth to my mixes. I have never experienced a real Fairchild so I cannot confirm the realism but trust me it sounds fantastic. Regardless of whether it is realistic or not it is a great sounding compressor.

Awesome!
My new go to tape machine!

DRUMS, DRUMS, DRUMS, USE ON THE DRUMS!
This is the perfect compressor for the kick and snare or even drum bus. It adds warmth, punch and sweetness!

LA3A Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Butter! Best way to describe this one is like a combo plate of a 1776 & LA2A, if that makes any sense? Nice plugin!
A. Dixon
Simple, easy to use, and effective.
Imparts a desired sonic character... Works nicely/most effective when applied across lots of tracks, which is actually possible as it is not such the DSP 'hog' as the ATR or Studer A800.. have been using this plug in on every mix.
