A bit better than the cubase one.
This is an easy to use plugin which will work on almost any sound, it is working fine natively on my windows 10 pc. I did get very similar results with the magneto 2 which came with cubase. However the UA one is a touch more rounded and refined, so it takes my preference. I gave it 4 because I got this on offer and the very next day UA released a better offer whereby i could have got another plugin for free. This hacked me off no end and totally puts me off trying and using plugins from this company again. I know others feel the same and so Ua you need to uniform your prices instead of constantly playing games.

I didn’t get it .. until I tried it
Everyone was praising this plugin everywhere and I didn’t understand how it could be all that people were talking about. Then I tried it and played around for about 1h until I got it and now it’s on all my mixes. Just that glue and not surgical (in a good way). It would be great to have a “view” where it was easier to navigate (don’t need to look like they actual hardware)

Best Plugin ever!!!
This is pure magic! Love it!

Skimped on the native version
Great plugin. I was excited when the native version came out, only to realize it’s not quite the same plugin. No tape delay or controls for amount of crosstalk, wow and flutter. Plus you can’t copy presets from the non-native version to the native version. And they don’t have the same preset library! UAD-2 DSP version is superior, unfortunately. Come on UAD….

A must have
The Ampex ATR-102 -plugin was the missing link that set my mixes and masters on par with all my favourite records. It’s currently my favourite tool and a definitive must have 6/5.

Best Tape Emulation in the Market
Best Tape Emulation in the Market, Great on the Master Buss

Amazing plugin !
I use it on my guitars, it fits perfectly into my mixes. I do really recommend it.
s. ayton
ok as
nice as an EQ/Compressor effect but wouldn't pay more than a few dollars for it. It can mess up your dynamics and nice clean recording which is good or bad depending on how old you are haha. I'm personally so glad to not have to suffer tape machines anymore these days having been recording since the 70's and owned and repaired a dozen machines from 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 1". 2" as engineer and service tech so know them inside out literally. I use this for it's texture. I just wish the interface was clean with faders instead of graphics. I'm trying to make things sound good and could not give a toss what the plugin looks like. I need minimum fuss and memory/DSP usage.

Another color that was not in my plugin forest before.

Strategic Weapon
As I used a real one in 80s , I love the sound of tapes and all their nuances .
This plugin , very close to original one is helpful to change the nuance, harmonics, dynamics and EQs of the programs or instruments in very special way. Be careful ! !t’s addictive ;).J. Hermann
The glue
I got true Ampex and Studer tape plugins. Both are great, use em on drum buss and main to give my beats that analog glue I have been missing since my Otari reel to reel is currently broken this is the closest thing I can use to get that warmth and crunch.

How Is That Even Possible?
The first words I spoke when I tried this plugin in my mastering chain was, "How is that even possible?" I've never purchased any UAD plugins until now, and the Ampex emulation was my first. The presets are pretty much all you need, just find the preset that suits the song and mastering needs best, and you're all set. It's as simple or complicated as you want it to be, and it sounds amazing. This one plugin will most likely replace 2-3 plugins in my chain, and that's something I've never encountered in my last decade of producing music. Now that this plugin is native, and for the price it's currently at, this is one of the very few plugins I've begged all my producer friends to get. If I ever need new plugins, I think I'll be checking UAD first. Do yourself the favor and grab this.
D. George
Outstanding!
I am old enough to have used actual reel-to-reel tape in recordings and I can assure you that this plugin comes very close to emulating the real thing. It's all about the warmth; the sound. Great job on this one.
S. Downie
Get this great TAPE emulator !
The Ampex ATR-102 is a fantastic all rounder TAPE emulator for your DAW and tracks and tunes. It's amazingly warm and great for saturation. It has a nice wobbly vibe to it that makes sound stand out, well to my ears anyway. Get it today and add it to your plugin chain.

Waiting for the true version
This plugin is lacking in sound and features. It is not the native version, it is another simpler version. Still waiting for the true version, but native.
