The WOW factor in one plugin

The Studer A800 is hard to beat. Take any sound and put it though this with any preset you like, and you will still hear a WOW factor. For those of you who are new to UAD2 Platform, this should be one of the first plugins you purchase. Its warm magnetic tones can make even a less than great sound go up in quality a few notches. Put it on a beautiful sound and it becomes breathtaking.

Smooth tape emulation

I've owned this for a while, and I'm finally comfortable enough to write a review on it. Subtlety seems to be the key word with this thing. I don't like what it does to the low end, but find it can really warm up mids and smooths things up when pushed just a bit. I don't like kick feeding into it so I keep off of the master bus (or have kick by pass it); and same deal with drums bus. Saturating it a bit on vocals can be nice, but again subtly. This thing is a DSP hog, but I do love it for premasters. As a DUO owner, I tend to reach for other tape emulators first (e.g., J37) before using this for that reason.

Amazing recreation

Having spent countless hours operating a Studer A820 as soon as I insert the plugin version I can almost swear I can smell the acetate of s rolling 24 track machine. Being able to track through it with the apollo and mix with it on busses has instantly improved my mixes. Highly recommended.

Magic...

One of the best pieces of processing for your master bus. Instant vine and character. The EQ on this machine works wonders. Also using it as a tape delay has always been one of my favourite tricks on the hardware and I'm glad to see it in the plugin.

Amazing!

I have not found anything closer to the real thing. Now if they could make a air freshener so I could get the smell of a fresh reel. Nothing like it.

It's great and easy!

It's became my favorite plug-in since I tried once.

Great as Delay

But not good as a mastering tape machine... not even close to the sound of original ATR. makes sound too mono and over compressed even on a low level. Sounds good as slap delay though.

perfect addition to Ampex

After working with UAD Ampex (which is in EVERY of my mixes - mostly on the stereo bus) i've fetched the Studer to my toolchain and are happy again - while the Ampex felivers a more subtle, but more "broad" affecting enhancement on nearly any stereo/mix bus the Studer seems to packing more heavily onto tracks, making it ideal for individual tracks to me. Compared to i.e. WAVES Kramer Master Tape it sound's a hearable step more higher / forward. This is an addicting tool which you will buy if you hear it - even. with the presets. As a next step i'll try to experiment with it as a sound design tool and investigate i.e. delaying / modulation "tricks" with it. From my view this (both) are just the best tape emus for mixing and mastering.

Sounds like a real tape machine!

This emulates tape so well! thats all that needs to be said. I can choose different types of tape, and I can change th IPS. That's all I need. It's great.

Oh my dearest Studer :*

I tried the demo and was astonished what is possible with tape saturation.

You can add not only warmth, but shaping e.g. your whole track in every (analog) direction when it comes to rock, stoner, jazz, swing, etc.. I was able to fullfill the dreams of a stonerrock band I recorded which demanded a kind of analog "rolled-of-highs" sound with nice and subtle saturation. And everything without loosing their mojo; the studer added in opposite of this MORE mojo and this is only ONE of the cases I was able to give the musicians what they wanted!

Nice analog sound

Before I purchased this plugin I demoed it an compared to the waves kramer, j37 and the studer. I think that compared to others, this one offers an immediate difference in sound. The sonic characteristics can go from subtle to more evident. I'm using it on my final mixes and I'm very satisfied as it suites my needs. Nevertheless, I have to say that the price is far too high. I purchased it thanks to a 250€ coupoun and the 50€ price cut that they were offering, otherwise I believe that 350€ for a plugin is close to ridiculous.

Amazing quality of sound. You would be hard pressed to make anything running through it NOT sound so much better. Great job UA. Adam, Sydney AUS

Makes a big difference

I recently sent some tracks off to be mixed and mastered by a professional studio. When I got the mixes back they were not at all what I wanted or expected. To my ear it was completely wrong. I decided to mix the tracks myself and once I had mixes I was happy with I was looking for tricks to enhance them during the mastering process. I'm glad I found this plugin because it has made a substantial difference. I recorded my first album to tape and I've always felt that record has a nicer vibe to it that I've never quite managed to replicate in the digital realm. This plugin, as well as a few others has really helped to achieve what I was looking for. Definitely my favourite from UAD.

Superior to track tape machine

There is nothing like adding a tape machine to your sound. I used this exact model in the hardware version,on a daily basis. This plug-in is so true to the tape sound it's amazing to me. Together with the ability to change tape, speeds, Bias, EQ, it truly gives you the flexibility to get any sound off the tape you want. The warmth of this plug-in is outstanding. It was one of the first ones that I got.

My go to plugin

I’ve been using the Studer for a few weeks now. I tried it on everything from drums, synths, and master bus. It’s now one of my go to plugins.
