A bit to Subtle for me

I use the studer on my bus'es. It's very subtle, and I think it only ads a little colour to my mixes. But overall, my mixes sounds better than before. More a fan of the Ampex ATR.

Glue me!

I just love this plugin. While the Studer A800 is more neutral, the ATR-102 brings all sorts of colours to my mixes. Especially when used on master bus. Only problem I have is rewinding the tape ;-)

Glad I purchased this

Like the Ampex, it's best when used in the proper context, rather than a carte blanche application. Moderately applied, I like what it does for tracks that can benefit from a bit of warmth, although I don't use it as much as I imagined I would. Still, it's a great sounding plugin and a useful addition to ones sonic palette.

Powerful tool

Used carefully, it's like having an old friend helping you. Although I used different machines, back in the day, this plugin delivers the goods. Very familiar results. It's not for everything (what is?), but is a great tool when used in the proper context.

STUDER A800 review by TYVY/Totem Studio

Hi UAD team,
I finally bought Studer A800 which is quite instinctive and easy for me to use although I was not familiar at all with hardware version!!
It offers much finer quality (with many options to fine tune your desired sound) than the previous basic "Tape recorder" plugin I've been using and I will apply it to all my ongoing mixes immediately, mainly to boost my Acoustic Drums Group sound.
It seems also interesting for Mastering although I've had too limited experience to explore all its possibilities.
I rate it 4 and not 5 because it consumes quite big resources of my UAD2-Duo Card (8%) which limits the number of tracks on which I can use it, since I also use many other UAD plugins. A bit expensive but worth the cost!!

Perfect dress

Tape warms adds persuasiveness to my mix.
I use Studer plug on almost all track. Its natural compression dresses any sound.

Magic

This plug-in rules. I wouldn't say it's a replacement for mixing down to a 2 track, but it is pretty dang close. I love this plug in on my master buss when I can't mix down to my Otari MTR-10. Love it.

Magic.

I just love those plugins where you can just put it on a track and it sounds better. It's like magic. From a more technical aspect, it's not exactly like the real thing. But it is by far the best tape emulation I've tried.

Do not underestimate

Do not underestimate ! ! !
Use it as the first ... then add other plugins to complete the mix ... then bypassed only the Ampex ... Ok now you have understood ...

This is an amazing plugin worth trying.

This is a fantastic plugin to use on your master bus. It makes the mix wider and the warmth is amazing. This i cant live without. Its one of my favorites and it will stay on my master in the future on every mix.

Glue! Warm! Alive!

Simple as that! You put the Studer in the channel you want the tape sound, then you put the Ampex in the Master Bus. Everything comes to live, you feel the warmness, it's so musical!

I am a new producer after UAD plugins, for real!

Wow!!!!

Using this beast now for more then a year and it turns out to be one of my main masterbus plugins. Besides using it for my masterfader, you can also really kick ass on individual signals if you want. It can add beatiful upper harmonics, distortion, and even delay.

Studer on everything

I took the chance (read: put down the not insignificant amount of cash) and bought the Studer/Ampex bundle because I dig the idea of tape saturation although I've never recorded to tape.

Now I've been using it on all tracks in my band's 10 song post-death metal project and I am very happy with it! It helps tie the tracks of each song together for a consistent expression. It gives the snare great fullness, rounds off the harsh edges of the higain guitars and makes the vocals sound just very pleasing. Bass and kick also gets a go, but I'm still learning to avoid adding too much lowend, it seems it adds up fast. Eats DSP but it's fun to do an all-Studer 'first mix' and then bounce the 'Studered' tracks, and go on to round two (eq, comp etc.)

I can't live without it

To be honest? There are outside a lot of native alternatives of classic gear emulations, every day a new better than the others, and native means more portability/less problems, but this astounding plugin is the real reason why I still work with the UAD dsp system.
The real only alternative is a real Studer Tape recorder!
Period.

Melhor que isso, só o real

Sem dúvida o plugin que mais gosto da UA, excelente som e diversas opções de timbres. Uso bastante nas ambiências de bateria, para filtrar os agudos dos pratos e, é claro, no mix bus. Melhor que esse, só um ampex atr 102 de verdade.

the tape is not spinnin'

I don't know what's goin on,
since I bought it, the tape is not spinnin' anymore in the interface.
don't know if this effect the sound of the plug or not.

Adds magic to any mix!

Absolutely love this plugin! It gives a mix that finally something special that tells you it's ready to go to master!

Magnetic Tape Bundle

This plugin bundle is great! I get the tone, warmth, and presence i want for each track I use these plugins on, and I also love to apply it globally on a buss track or on my master. The Studer and Ampex bundle really complements my production style, as I am an avid collector of vintage tube amps, guitars, basses and drum kits. These plugins make perfect sense for my setup, studio space and musical style.
