Really great sounding plugin, one thing to keep in mind it really has a sound to it so it does alter from the original, but most of the time is in a better way.

One of the Worst imitator not emulator plugin.
This was such a waste of time, most of the higher rated reviews of this plug-in was from
non-experience user's that Never worked with Studer and Ampex, Otari, Sony etc. as I have.
UAD also has the worst Customer Service, I only wished that UAD gave refunds as many Professional businesses do "Beware of UAD Policies & Practice".P. Bordas

Tape emulation - the best
Great sound and great plugin for saturation and analog.
d. yazir
My expectations were fulfilled
When I bought this, I expected to achieve analog tape warmth and cohesion in the mix that comes with the special mojo of the plugin with the sweet saturation. I suggest you guys either put this in your mix buss and mix into it or just put it on individual busses. I also recommend getting to learn the settings and you'll find that the plugin is also highly customizable.

Bump Saturation and Power
Extremely versatile machine with a lot of analog flavor! Can't mix without it!
F. Anicet
Tape emulation at its best
Does the job ! nice saturation, very good sounding.
T. Poe
Saturation = Secret Sauce
Sometimes you want warmth, sometimes you want that something "extra". This is it. Tape saturation gives you so much and sounds amazing on guitar, bass, vocals, drums...EVERYTHING.
M. Manning
Great sounding tape emulation but...
This is a great sounding plugin - only wish the native version had the gang control - I'm not sure I would have bought had I realized this very handy control was missing,
F. Hasan
best tape recorder!
you'll never regret to buy it
W. Tang
nice job
very nice hear，Thank you UA

I like but don't love this one
Why I don't love it: I also own McDSP analog plugin. The McDSP is way fatter than the UAD. Like monumentally fatter! It can almost get too fat at times. So you have to be careful.
You don't have to be careful with UAD Studer A800. At least not too much. However it can be extremely subtle almost too subtle. When you try to drive it it distorts. McDSP doesn't really do that. All in all a really good plug-in though.G. WHITE
Incredible
It sounds phenomenal!!
R. Sortwell
Classic tape
Use on many channels will be my new standard
T. Bernsdorf
First plugins you should buy
The only plugin I always track with. I use external preamps into the tape plugin, and it always sounds great. No regrets committing on the way in.
F. Hasan
MUST HAVE TAPE PLUGIN!!!!
you will not regret to buy it, ever!!!
