Studer A800 Multichannel
Tape RecorderArtists and engineers have long gravitated to the warm analog sound, solid low-end, and overall presence of the Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder.

Exceptional feel and response!
Such a classy natural recreation that it has enough pronounced effect to 'feel' the difference in your source material, but like tape, subtle enough that it can be pushed if you are not mindful.. All my mastering buddies who use ATR-102 hardware in their work use this as an alternative/supplement. Exceptional tool..

Love it.
Love it. Seems to sound great on everything. But I specially love it on snare bottom and loud guitars!

Where is your tape at?
Back in the days i used master tape recorder. When i found this one, i sold my Telefunkken M15. This sounds so good. No need to demagnetize, no cleanin and daily, weekly, monthly, and year services. No need to buy tapes and storage them.
I fuo love tape sound, this tape machine gives you lot!
Strongly recommended!B. JeongHun
따뜻한 소리
노이즈를 끄면 그 어떤 마스터단에 박아도 좋은 소리를 내줍니다.
K. Smith
Great to use on your master fader track
First time using this type of plug in. There is a little bit of a learning curve, manual is approx. 15 pages. It is worth it. Adds a warmth to the final mix and has some cool features to add character to the sound.
G. Creasor
Fantastic!!
It adds the warmth that I’ve been missing.... awesome!
D. James
Great for individual channels!
I use the ATR on my mix buss, but when I want great sounding tape on individual channels it's all about the studer. Just makes everything sound better.
L. Miladinovic
Amazing!
The most authentic tape emulation I have ever tried.
A. Greenwell
Don’t know what I’d do without it
Easy to use, but highly tweakable too. This always goes on my mix buss. Fantastic for sculpting the low end, sweetening transients and making everything sound fuller, warmer, more interesting and alive!

Best must have plugin for mastering !
This is the best master plugin I have buy!
This have change my sound very professionell!!
I love it very muchD. Salvador
Great recording tape
I like tapes quite a lot. And this ones just great everywhere! My best use for this is on individual channels as first insert - it gives that ‘recorded to tape’ sound. It also works on sub mixes and master channel. So extra points on that.
Very smooth, so 5 stars from me :) !l. morrish-thomas
Just makes mixes better
As someone that's pretty much solely worked in the digital domain in my recording/mixing career, I've been continuously looking for different emulations to give my mixes the "glue" you can get from mixing on a desk onto tape. I've been quite happily using waves and slate tape machines for years, but when I get this on the master bus, it just feels like a step up
UAD User
Game changer
Finally can get a vocal to just do what I want it to. It’s a great plugin. I use this on some individual tracks or group busses as the very first in the chain. Then the Ampex ATR on the first slot on the master bus. Man it’s like cheating with the pultec’s, and a few others.
J. Kraus
Easy
Really essay to use, does a subtle but good job
J. Kraus
Perfect for me
