Wow!
I just got an apollo twin and a sweet ass mic. I am a complete rookie when it comes to recording and mixing. Though this plug makes everything sound better. Like everything! I usually put it on my output channel and crank that baby up. Sounds like baby Jesus riding a badass unicorn rhino, ejaculating in your ears and whispering "everything is cool man" with his honey lips. Yes, I do recommend this product.

Curtindo o plug-in
Estou em fase de conhecer o plug-in mas já é perceptivo a qualidade dom mesmo.
Com um preço justo pois aqui no Brasil pagamos altos impostos para adquirir produtos importados.

It's just the best tool to finish your track
It's just the best tool to finish your track
I used it for my mastering before to try my track in Clubs, it add a nice polish some warmth, depth and take the last hashness to make your track rounded.
I own the wave kramer tape and tried the other wave but there is nothing compare to what the Ampex bring to your track.
I regretted that I haven't bought it earlier with my first UAD bundle when I bought my apollo. I followed a friend advice and got the Fatso, lexicon, Manley, Ocean Way Studios, BX2 v2 eq, and the SPL vitalizer.
If you are in the same situation just get the Ampex instead of the Vitalizer !!!

A Warm Blanket
I was doing a mix for someone in LA and out of the few comments I received back, one was warm up the mix a little. I went through the various tape and "warmth" plugs in my collection but nothing did the trick. Having performed proper EQ adjustments throughout the mix, I still needed one final element. I decided to buy the ATR-102 and place it on my mix bus. It happened to be the missing link. Having a general knowledge of tape and after some in depth tweaking, I was able add the final touch of warmth to the mix. The ATR-102 was like a nice blanket the covered the overall mix. My advice to those using this is READ the manual. There are some useful tips, techniques, and essential tape knowledge that is key to using this plugin to its fullest.

Awesome sound
Great tool for beefing up you mixes and also your mastered tracks, nice friendly interface a big plus.

Pretty much a default now.
I have this as a default in the mix buss in lots of my mixes now. It just brings everything together really quick. I love it. Hard to believe I was without it now. I suggest you not to test this plugin unless you're ready to buy it.

Early Returns Are Good!
I haven't had a lot of time to work with the ATR-102 plugin yet, but my initial impression is that it blows the doors off the Waves Kramer Tape plugin. Also, the very first song I mastered with it elicited a tremendous response from a very analog client, saying "whatever you did made it warm and gave it exactly what it was missing." So far, so good!

It's like...
Imagine looking at the highest quality LCD, HD TV, with pristine colour and sharpness (which I'm comparing to digital sound), then imagine looking out of your window - that's what the 102 is like. When the settings are set right for your particular music, this plugin adds an analogue 3D depth which transcends description. I already use a Dangerous Music D-Box, and this takes things to another level.
This is smooth, and has a sound which draws one's ear in.
I scoured the net for info and opinions due to natural hesitation because of the price. Then I tried it out in demo, and only needed a day. Demo it for yourself... for any genre. I'm happy I got it on sale, but probably would have splurged.
Simply, yes.

The Best Rell to Rell Plug-in!!!!!!!
Enjoyed! Really he has a sound recorder Amplex. Sound is soft, prefect for mastering!

Not just for mastering!
Yes, the Ampex ATR-102 adds killer flavor to your mixes but I didn't realize how versatile and amazing it sounds on vocals.the Tape Delay feature is absolutely amazing. If you're looking for that Lennon sound, this is the plugin you want to get. Personally I would wait till it goes on sale because spending 350 on a plugin can be hard to justify but that's just me. At first I liked the Studer A800 better out of the two but the more I use the 102, the more I love it. Great plugin

Ampex ATR-102
did the work, the music and songs for the musical performance. Ampex ATR-102 used on the master in the demo mode. prepared material and made mixing with this Brilliant. later invited me to show the musical theater. I was amazed at the sound of my past work so sounded. I do not believe there is not that possible? one miracle plugin and this pattern of sound!
R. Klein
Love the Plug in
Its not the kind of plug-in that you work in solo mode for anything but checking the audio file content. This plug in is very subtle and needs to be run through its paces within the mix. Listen very carefully, the value is in the nuance!
I would not recommend using this plug in to morph a master bus, just give it that little last something after your compression that thickens the bus

GAME CHANGER.
great job uad.
GAME CHANGER.

Mix Finisher!!!!
I love this plugin as the final step before I add the limiter. I have tried it on the mix bus and sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't. However, that isn't a deal breaker. I still believe, for my mixes at least, it's not finished until this plugin is applied. I can't say what it does exactly, but what it does I love.
Awesome,

This is a special plugin
I'm an intermediate mastering engineer. I've tried other brand tape machines and found dissatisfaction. I put this thing on a mix in my master session and I swear, it was like the cute skinny girl in college that came back after summer break filling out her jeans. She went from cute to, damn, flat out bad! How did that happen, so round, so nice a bottom. Had to have it. It completed my master. Its easy to use and has some complexity to it, but not overwhelming. Not that I tried but girl was not for sale, the plugin was which made that ass so much nicer! Get it.
