Silver Bullet
Indistinguishable from the hardware LA2A in the rack that I A/B'd it with, except now I have one for every track!
C. Albright
You don't need me to tell you if it's good or not
This plug in sounds like an la-2a. It fits on things that I can't really make an 1176 sound right. If you have an 1176, and la-2a in your list then you have 90% of your dynamic needs

The Truth
These compressors are amazing....The sound quality is as good as it gets....

Instantly made it into my mix template
I've had the great fortune to have used a fairchild 660 on a couple of occasions and it instantly became apparent why the 660 and 670 had earned their reputations. I've used some of the other emulations around but this one stands out and reminds most accurately of the 660's I've gotten to play with in the past. Very colorful and now more flexible than any other emulation with the ability to adjust H.R. and DC thresholds, sidechain HP, and the always welcome mix control. This thing is an absolute monster in parallel !!!

a 'should have'
You'll be surprised how much you will use it once you have it. From simple gaining to heavy compression/limiting. It has so many hot-spots for different purposes! If i had to choose one it would be this. Sounds so much better then the waves alternative!!!

great combo
versatile combo, and wet/dry works wonders for bass, drums & vocals. smooth and super handy.

Lexicon 224 Reverb PlugIn
Finally I bought the real reverb!
Previously enjoyed ik Multimedia. Magic sound is obtained.
Voice is not drowned in the mix. So perfectly audible reverb.
Thank you Uaudio!

Great on Drums and Bass
If you need a compressor that really clamps down on a track, the dbx 160 is perfect. Sounds like the hardware. Almost has a distressor-like characteristic in its attack. Excellent for accentuating the power behind a smash track.

Smooth, saturation
Ver nice saturation, good low end bump, I use this on vocals, drums, bass, buss channels...

Fast And Effective
This plugin is what I've always wanted in a tape emulation. I have the Ampex that I use primarily for the wow and flutter effects. For the quick "tape" sound, Oxide is the best I've used. I demo'd the Studer, and it is very much in that same ballpark-except that since there are so few options, Oxide takes less than 10 seconds to dial in the perfect setting and then I'm moving on. It took a couple minutes at least with the Studer because of the options. This is my utility, cumulative-effect plugin that makes stuff sound better. Try it out. Buy it up.

really improves the sound
I do really like it, i fell a warm nice sound that help´s to avoid the ugli digital caracter of the ITB mixing
W. Morrison
Good for all instruments and vocals!
I've been using these plugins since I bought them and have not been disappointed yet! Have used them for all rhythm section instruments and lead male and female vocals - both during recording and mixing with good results all around. Highly recommended!

Oxide Tape
It's excellent. Try it. Instant glue on drum groups or mix buses, adds character to individual tracks etc... A different flavour to the ATR. marvellous.
M. Molling
Very nice plugin!
Tighter bottom end end much smoother highs than any other pultec emulation I know. Big recommendation!

Better than I thought it would be...
I purchased an Apollo 16, and Oxide came with it as a promo. Honestly, Oxide has sounded so good when applied to selected tracks, that I have started adding it to ALL tracks on recent sessions. Although the Studer & Ampex are highly priced, am seriously contemplating them as well. I'm currently remastering a 90's traditional country CD "in the box", and I'm using all UAD plug-ins on the master track. The differences are subtle, but amazingly noticeable when you get the presets / settings right. Although I feel UAD's prices are a little high, this one may be worth the $$$. I use more and more UAD plug-ins on every session.
