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.

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.

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".

Magic
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.

Nice warmth
I really like the warmth and character this gives my music

Must have
I thought I was good just with the oxide tape but the student a800 just has more options and control over the sound. I pulled the plug right on time for Luna!

Brilliant Analog Tones
Been using the demo for weeks and just committed to buy. Use this on almost everything!

Studer A-800
works fine.. well done

A must have ingredient !
Using some kind of a musical glue is almost obligatory in music production. No wonder that UAD has implemented Oxide Tape in LUNA as a basic approach. I've been using Oxide Tape the same manner on each channel. Takes very little of the resources, easy to use and sounds great. I use Studer/Ampex on the master with refined settings. The only reason i consider buying a Mac is LUNA itself, lol.

Studer A-800
Great tape emulation!

Kind of...
It does a thing, I guess.
it doesn't really sound much like a 102 though, but it's kinda hard and gritty if you like that sort of thing..
S. Kaufman
Excellent
Actually, I bought it for myself, based on a mixing session that I worked on in another studio . Very impressed. Does what I expected and more. Adds warmth, all of the features others have already described.
Will have to spend more time with it, post some mixes to to soundcloud and Bandcamp to get a feel for how maxes with it react to their algorithms. Will post an update sometime soon. A+.

Secret weapon that makes my music alive!
If I only recommend one analog tape recorder plug-in, I would definitely recommend Ampex atr-102.
Ampex atr-102 tape recorders make music even more vibrant.
Its unique punch, comp and even analog saturation make for a very interesting change.
It is arguably one of the most satisfying plugins of the UAD plugin.

Spot on!
I've been producing since I was 22 and used countless numbers of the ATR-102 over the many years during mixing, and later in the process, for mastering projects.
Digital recording can sound 'sterile,' even using tube gear emulations. But slap this on a 2 mix and feel it instantly get 'warmer' with the 'glue' us older guys were used to with tape. More like a 33 rpm record; recordings that are easier to listen to, and with less ear fatigue. And no maintenance or calibration. When a sale comes up, buy this plugin!
The three tape types are pretty accurate. 456 always sounded 'brighter,' 900 with less coloration, and so on. This sounds like the ATR-102s I remember.

Ultimate tape emulation !
This tape is the best plugin to obtain rich and fuller sound, cannot imagine myself not using it for mixing and mastering !!
T. Crémier
Perfect recording tool !
The sound of this tape is rich, colorful, and full of possibilities !
I put an instance of the Studer A800 on all my tracks and it adds depth and color.
With the ART-102, they make the ultimate duo for tape emulation !
j. cleere
Love it!!!
Makes a mix sound like a proper record at the end. Other tape emulators I've tried from other brands don't even get close theres no comparison
