Studer A800 Multichannel

You can also use the ATR-102 as a LUNA Extension and deliver analog-infused master recordings with iconic Ampex gloss.

Beautiful saturation plugin
I love under the hood configurations. They are just wonderful
J. Underdue
UAD Magic, WOW!
If you don't have this, you should, a mastering MUST have!
N. Mieczkowski
Awesome saturation!
Ampex ATR-102 brings a kind of saturation I couldn't achieve with any other plugin - it adds life to the entire mix being very subtle at the same time. I wasn't sure about it at first because I thought tape saturation won't be suitable for digital/electronic music I produce mostly but currently it's a must-have in my plugin library!
D. Stanchev
magic plugin
Very serious plugin. Suitable for groups and master . Managing these small buttons is a little tricky, but once you find the right settings - it's priceless! Adds a lot of density to digital recordings .

Great for saturation, compression and suprise.
Alsways does something cool to your mixbus. Saturation and compression and with the element of suprise. Jump between presets and try out different settings.

Mix downs and mastering must!
For the width and warmth from the original 2 inch recordings.... This is your Huckleberry !

Golden tape
Insert on every channel, gang’em up and everything sounds better ;)

A quite handy tool!
This product is such a versatile tool to have in the toolbox. Not only can it give the saturation and glue to a mix, the delays and harmonic distortions are just right to fit into a track.
R. Whitney
Sounds Good
Adds a little harmonic shizzle and compression going in so I can forget about adding it in the mix (because I like to emulate the old days of recording to tape without the actual hassle). I keep it pretty subtle but do think I like what it adds to electric guitar and bass at least, which is all I've used it on so far.
T. Lippai
Analog boom
I read a lot of reviews before I bought it when it was discounted. I paid around 140 bucks for it. Does it worth the price? Yesss!
It's not just about the analog warmth that everyone is talking about. It gives a lot of headroom, space and character (if desired) to any track, or to the complete production.
Just be gentle with it, always use before/after comparison, and keep the HUM and HISS under control. It's very attempting to use them everywhere, but then it will add up in undesired noise floor.
So if this plugin is used wisely, it can lift your production to another level. Even EDM tracks may benefit it (if something is too clear, it's not so attractive...).
I'm looking forward for Luna, and using the Studer there as "mixtape".A. Kashimov

A fantastic tool that just lifts up sound quality of a track in so many different ways

Обязательно для мастеринга!
Необходимый инструмент для мастеринга, аналогов очень мало!

Mode d'emploi
Pas mal, mais avec un mode d'emploi sur internet en Française ou en Espagnol ou un video tutoriel sur YouTube ça serait encore mieux.
et aussi la même chose pour le Ampex ATR-102.C. Doerschlag
Nice warmth
