Got Tape?
I Do… the Ampex is the best tape emulator on the market.. Since I made the purchase I lands and all my 2 tracks. Full, fat, warm… everything Im looking for in tape!

Best tape emulation I've used
Great job UA! This is the best tape plug out there IMHO! Thank you for the ability to turn the noise off! I use this on 95% of the projects I do! Gets more use than the Studer plug which is also great!

toneshaping
a great toneshaping tool, that can create lovely Fuzzy highend, rounded bottom and Dimension to the sound.
A. Bamshad
BRILLIANT!
This is probably my most used plugin of all.
It goes first on almost every channel strip for that subtly warm thick tape sound.
A. Ferguson
Beautiful
Absolutely wonderful. Turns everything into a "warm analogue recording".

Possibly the best tape emulation plugin ever
This is a great plugin! Thick and gooey mixture of compression, subtle eq shaping, and rich, harmonic saturation. I have 5 different tape emulation plugins and this one is by far the most sophisticated sounding plugin of the group. It's almost always fatter, smoother, bigger sounding.

Awesome!
Played on every track! Feels like Im recording for real now!
C. Byrne
Perfect
To put it shortly, I WILL NOT MIX WITHOUT THIS! No brainier since I first heard it.

ATR-102 - better than the real reel
We was doing a mastering for a rock mix here at Studio Balkandji (Bulgaria) with our Telefunken magnetophon, but we found that changing just a bit for one song is a real pain... Then I started a demo of ATR-102 - here every change is just reloading and tweaking a bit - no recording and replaying from the real tape.... But the sound was SO real, that the client (and me) were so convinced and so happy that I immediately bought it.
Now I am happier than ever, because I can even turn off the tape noise and the hum :)
5 start with no doubt!!

My favorite tape emulator, by far
I happen to have a real ATR 102 1/2" deck, and it's really the only mix down deck I know intimately. The UAD comes damn close. I really dig what it does to the bottom end. It has a tendency to "pull in" the low mids, which can be really nice on some things (most things, actually, at least for my mixing style), but sometimes thins out a bit too much. With all that said, though, there are so many options (tape formula, tape width, speed, tons of cal choices, tranny in or out, etc) that it just opens up a TON of possibilities, and it's usually easy to find what works best for a particular mix.

Immense character, glue & compression
Love this plugin so far, sit it on the master bus as last on the chain and it does wonders for warming, gluing and slight compression. Look forward to experimenting with it!

Another win
I waited until my Apollo Twin came along, then jumped. My tracking world is changing. As an older guy whom fell in live with tape many years ago, I can now honestly say I close my eyes and I am back.
Thanks UA

studer 800
great plugin, not tape but great sounds - expensive!
M. Elliott
Great plugin
Finally have a plug-in that captures the room vibe I've been missing.
A. Shailer
Great tape emulation, needs wow and flutter!
I am now putting this plugin on pretty much every drum channel as it just gives it that phat tape sound straight away.
I would give this plugin 5 stars if when you "opened it up" it had wow and flutter, and more degredation features like the Ampex ATR-102, because I like to make pads sound all dirty and degrated. At the moment I can only use the Ampex for that... on demo! Can't afford every UAD plug! ;)
J. Carr
Studer A800
When driven this little beauty sounds stunning! I use it a lot for sound design and gently on complete mixes for warmth, wouldn't want to be without it now. Thank you UAD! :-)

Magic
There is not enough good one can say about this thing. It does wonders on individual tracks—especially bass guitars, and it brings the high end to life on the master chain. I don't think I've once left it out of my master chain since purchasing it—there are so many flavors that it can enhance just about anything one can send through it.

Brings life to the mix
I am an amateur musician and produce my own music. I find the UAD options are great for saving space and for getting quality without expensive hardware. Over time I was planning on building up my outboard gear but having tried and bought some UAD plug-ins my list has definitely changed.
I chose the Ampex ATR-102 to introduce some warmth to my mixes but it does much more than that. Choosing the right combination of parameters can really help to sculpt your recorded sounds and bring the best out of a track when mastering. I use it at various points in the effects chain depending on the final result that I am after. A very useful plugin - definitely worthy of a top 10 spot.

amazing
essential to all my mixes and combined with the struder A800 makes everything just sound better
