Pretty good
Wish you would provide more presets for people doing VO and radio imaging. Always wanted to add the Avalon to my collection.

Great for bass
Sounds awesome on bass. This is now my go to channel strip for recording bass. Very simple and easy to get a great tone.

Sex for the ears...
My Lexi sounds sexy! The smooth tails are not only heard, they're felt emotionally. When blending with other reverbs I use Lexi for her tail. With minimal instruments, Lexi’s soft richness really enhances source material. It’s interesting to watch other people’s reactions as their eyes close tightly and they sloooowly inhale. This is truly an intimate reverb that is sex for the ears.

Amazing for everything
I think this sounds amazing for kick and snare, overheads, bass, guitars and vocals, so easy to use and sounds crazy good.

very impressive!
J. Graça
Great sound!
Awesome John Frusciante's tones. Gotta love it.

Smooth Saturator
This is my favorite UAD tape plug-in to use on vocals and string instruments. It is subtle, smooth when turned relatively low, and gives a great, harmonically rich overdrive at higher input levels.

A Must Have...
Pure and simple!

Oxide Tape hits the mark
Love this piece of software, really helps tighten instruments and drums a like and adds some charm and quality to your mix. A must have!

15ips or 7.5ips - two flavours of "better"
Once I put this on something, it's hard to take it off. It just makes most things sound a little bit better. I rarely have to touch the levels, just choose a tape speed and move on - perfect for tracking sessions.

WARMTH
Maybe your track is missing something. Maybe you are missing something. Maybe you just need a hug. Throw the Fairchild on your mix bus, and you might need to take your sweater off. The thing looks like an entire season of Babylon Berlin, but it sounds like GLUE!

Get loose / get weird
I use the Manley Massive Passive EQ when I'm really pretending to understand the audio spectrum and want to impress the dames, but when my hair is down: I switch from Super Hit incense to a giant chunk of sage and levitate 2-3 feet off the ground, and spin the Pultec knobs. Turn it up on one and turn it down on the other. Find new resonances. Center your soul; equalize your heart. G R O W. In other words, it's a great EQ.

Hesher Special
Pushes heavy guitars into new dimensions. Don't sleep on this one.

All three UA tape emulations...
All three UA tape emulations are definitely worth owning for different reasons. The Oxide is my DSP-saving, time-saving tape.

Animal Style
All-button mode is the Animal Style of audio gear. It's salty and a quick punch to the gut that everyone should try at least once. Five thumbs up.

Jammin' on the one
Used to have access to the hardware, and I love running saxophone and weird synth stuff through it. Finally got an Apollo Heritage and got access to this again. Immediately threw some sax and synth at it....now it may not be an exact match, but I can't tell the difference. This is really worth the price of admission. If you aren't using this, you should be. <3

Simple and extremely effective.
When I need a quick reverb, this is what I throw on my bus. Worth the dsp. Not a ton of variation, much like using a real plate, but what's there can help slide it into any mix. I frequently use this when I don't want to spend a bunch of time programming the perfect reverb, but I often end up tweaking it a couple of times and it ends up in my final mix. GG EZ

I probably wouldn't ever join the military...
...but if I did, I would do my best to get selected for the bucket brigade. As a bass and synth enthusiast, I will give any chorus pedal a fair shake. This one will definitely get used. Thanks, UA. It was a nice holiday gift with my new interface.

Awesome!
Really a fantastic sounding plugin. I use it while tracking guitars, etc. I also put it on individual tracks in the DAW. My only wish, is, after using the Slate Virtual Tape Machines, I wish they would implement "linked" Input/Output.

Incredible plugin
I bought the Studer A800 plugin and I've been using it as an extension in Luna. The sound is incredible! I can put it on all of my tracks, including drums, guitar, bass and synths and it adds character unlike any other plugin. Just bypassing it makes a world of difference. Great plugin and I recommend it fully!
