Simplicity at its best!!!

In a world full of complex tape plugins emulations, this one feels like a winner. Sometimes simplicity is the key to creativity!. Really low on CPU =).

I love it!

when I used the oxide tape everything started to fix in the mix. I sounds amazing, I couldn't stop using it in almost everything. Is perfect for acoustic guitars and snares. It adds som really cool harmonix! just amazing!

Great for Cheap Mics

The Iron Oxide plug in does a great job of un spiking the top of digital recordings of voice with Cheap sibilant mics ! It is the single cheapest thing you can do to improve your voice recordings! Hurry up and demo it or just buy it!

Good Easy Controls But Still Takes Same DSP as A800

I appreciate the simpler controls on this tape emulation but I am disappointed that the DSP is still pretty high and appears to be the same as the Studer A800. I loaded 4 tracks of this and the DSP load was identical to what 4 tracks of A800 were.

My Favourite Plugin for Colouration

I bought this Plugin for only 50 bucks in the Magnetic Tape Month. I love the coloration of the Plugin. A few days ago I used it on a solo Voice and it adds a really nice Character. To Eq and Compress the Voice to my satisfaction was easier for me than without the Plugin.
I demoed and like the other Plugins like Studer or Ampex also very much but I never bought them because they vere to expensive for me. Also the CPU hit caused by Oxide is not so high which helps me to handle up to 6 Devices with my Solo Card.

So thank you very much for the Magnetic Tape Month and this new Plugin! :)

Easy Pleasey

I'm a long time Slate VTM user, and before that, Waves Kramer Master Tape. I've been finding myself using Oxide as a subtle Comp and EQ plug just as much as a tape emulator. Stick it on the first insert, tweak, and be prepared to suddenly feel like the track is sitting well without any more plugs. I still use the VTM, but Oxide has crept into a close 2nd. Who knows, by next month it could be my go to.....

Scrape the tape

A no nonsense tape saturation for cheap. It does enough to get that warmth and magic. The Studer and Ampex plugs might give you a little more parameters but this does the job without all the mess. Basically, does what you want it to do.

Tape glue

The Oxide Tape plug in give that analog color that glues a mix in anyways you uses it.
In Individual tracks, in a bus track or in the master tracks

The presets are an excellent start point

Best easy tape tracking plugin on market, native or otherwise

Sheer brilliance. My last experience with real tape was in 1998. I decided to take the raw stems from that track and see how close I could get to the high end studio tape recording. Oxide did a wonderful job. This is the plugin that you put on every channel to simulate track to tape, with absolutely zero fuss. For an analogue tape mix emulation, just gain stage properly, insert oxide and adjust gain staging to taste to emulate the level you would record at to analog tape, and instant goodness. Then after the gain staging use your DAW faders for standard level mixing. If a mix is done properly, there is no situation where it doesn't sound better with oxide enabled. Yes, even on electronic music. Low dsp, low latency, highest quality. a must

Une touche analogique

Bonjour
Oxide tape rec est une nuance qui s'ajoute à la palette des sensations analogiques en plug.
Peu gourmand en DSP, avec simplicité et qualité, il vient complèter les autres émulations déjà proposées .
Un outil qui, utilisé subtilement, enrichit ma panoplie pour le mixage au studio Golgoth-43.com.

Awesome!

Often adds a lot more to a mix or track than expected. Was skeptical at first, but from the moment I inserted the demo version I was very impressed. Colors the sound very similar to my 8-track 1/2 inch. I purchased it and use it often....Highly recommended....

Fantastic quick and dirty tape

Great alternative to the other UAD tape emulations in that it has minimal controls and most of the time it's just a case of instantiating the plugin and affecting the input and output! Lovely sounding saturation if you want to drive it and is the perfect antidote for sometimes anaemic digital recordings. Big thumbs up!

The Right Complement to the Studer and Ampex Machines

Just like many folks before me, I thought that there was no room for improvement after buying the UAD tape machines. In fact, they have left my U-He Satin sitting virtual dust. However, Oxide is another flavor to add to the roster. It may look like a dumbed-down version of its older brothers, but it's not. It's simple to use, great sounding, and a *different* tone from the other two tape machine emulations. If you can't jump the gun for Ampex or Studer yet, this is a great way to get your foot through the door. And you get a discount for the other two plugins in the future.

Tape Simplicity

Warm & punchy. Easy to use. The other are great as well, but this doesn't discourage me with all the buttons and knobs. simply a few knobs to find the sweet spot. Another winner from UA!!

Great plugin

Oxide is a magical plugin that every music producer will enjoy having that.
It's really nice and tighten up low frequency and punch to your tracks wich is difficult to set it up with other tape saturators.good to know that i have ampex 102 and studer a800 but this is something else.
