Not Great
Duy tape, Cranesong Phoenix, and Slate VTM are my first picks but I need the DSP
So I bought it.

My Go-To Tool
The Studer A800 Plugin is simply amazing with plenty of useful presets. I use this on almost all of my tracks because I love the character the tape brings once the track hits it. It is very user friendly and more visually pleasent than any others I have seen!
R. Kirk
Great variety of tape sounds!
I love experimenting with the various tape formulations, speeds and monitoring choices. Really warms up my bass, drum and vocal tracks!
The only mild bummer really has nothing to do with the plugin itself.. I first learned to record using tape, and the Studer plugin kinda makes me miss the whole deliberate-ness of committing performances to tape.. see what you guys did? :-)

Studer A 800 - Incredible
I have just moved across from waves plug ins to UAD. I had the full waves package and I have to say this plug in blows any of there tape emulation plug ins out of the water. Incredible and worth every penny for everything.

toneshaping
a great toneshaping tool, that can create lovely Fuzzy highend, rounded bottom and Dimension to the sound.

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.
S. Derose
Awesome!
Played on every track! Feels like Im recording for real now!
D. Barter
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

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! ;)

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! :-)

GOOOOOD!!
GOOOOOD!!!!!NICE SOUND!!!!!
I have always used
It is recommended
J. Cheek
Brilliant! Drums.... Wow!!!
One of the best plugins I've ever used. Tracking drums through it via the console application is amazing. Clients have been blown away by the 'raw' tracks soon as they get into protools! Even just hitting the overheads had through this plugin is really all the dynamics processing they need. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you'll all come to the same conclusions pretty quickly!
Thanks!!!
M. Grojean
Essential element of my mixes!
I love the fact that I can put this on my tracks and dial in each instrument differently, in real life I would need many tape machines and lots of tape. This plugin sounds amazing and reduces the need for as much eq'ing. Definitely speeds up my workflow and helps me achieve "that sound". Simply beautiful and very necessary.

Nice, smooth tape vibe!
I love this plug! Everything from hifi tape warmth to beat up cassette static are available. There are some really neat slapback delay sounds as well. Works wonders on everything you put through it, drums, guitars, keys, vocs etc... it really warms things up when working in the box, especially on digital sources. I've spent a little time on a real Studer tape machine, and allthough its not spot on, it really is as good of a tape emulation you will ever find.
