Wow
I was not sure how much of a difference this plugin would make since i have not used summing plugins before, but after just some testing i felt in love with this one. The silky smooth and warmth it gives to a track is just lovely.
Recommend as your first summing plugins and sometimes the onlyG. Schwab
Excellent plugin
This plugin has succeeded. It is excellently suited to give the mix a beautiful analogue colouring and to connect the different frequencies into a harmonious whole. The sonic possibilities are manifold. However, with other UAD plugins, we are also, unfortunately the switches and knobs of the user interface are too small. Please UAD, develop larger and more grippy user interfaces!

Adds a nice glue and warmth
Use it on everything !

Cream!
When I think of mixing I have a picture of a vintage console and a tape machine, not that you need either, it’s just that the best records (when recorded well) didn’t go without passing through these circuits. I was in need of something to balance my record, and needed what ever I used not to remove what sizzled in my ears. This tape machine brought music to my master. I guess you can say am now a believer of old school technics. Try it, it’s magic.
M. Racanelli
Glue everything together nicely
Adds nice tones and sound. Great for summing and adds that classic neve sound.
Prefer this one over API but both great.
Highly recommended.B. Cink
Subtle but amazing
I suppose it doesn’t have to be subtle, but when you have it across all of your busses and turn them all on and off you can notice a change in the depth and interaction of the musical components
D. Going
Very pleased!
Really helps all the elements gel in a mix and unlike a lot of other tape plugins I've used it doesn't sound overly vintage-y if you don't need it to
L. Cipriani
Good but with problems
The plugin sounds very good but most of the time, when reopening saved projects, the right channel has a significant drop in volume even with linked channels. I always have to slightly touch both "record" level and "reproduce" level to get back to normal functioning. Very annoying. Too many times I had to (re)bounce final mixes due to this problem. Without mentioning even worse problems when you have the plugin on the master channel and you keep mixing not realising you are working with an unbalanced stereo image. You can imagine.

Makes any demo sound like a Record!
I've used many tape emulation plugins from different manufacturers and honestly nothing even comes close to this one! This thing does what it does best. The amount of warmth & cohesiveness it adds is incomparable! Simply put, It makes any demo sound like a record

Low Impedance = LOVE
I can't believe the amount of saturation and glue this brings to my mixes. Incredible extension for the already great Luna recording system.
Y. Sagarra Rodriguez
Maravilloso
Merece las 5 estrellas aunque me gustaría usarlo en otros DAW.
V. Silva
Beautiful
I just didn't give it 5 stars because it's impossible to use it in another DAW. But the sound is incredible, what it does in the low end I couldn't find in any other plugin… It's worth it and I can't live without it in my mixes anymore
