Just started to use on previously recorded live tracks. The button to disable extensions in LUNA highlights how much of a difference adding the Studer® makes. Everything just sounds better. Very impressed as I play around with the various settings.

Amazing!

Very impressed
Having worked in the analog domain for many years I was extremely curious about the tape machine plugins. I’ve even worked with this particular machine and similar ones like it many years ago. I wasn’t disappointed, like many of the UA plugins, the quality in sound, that small analog texture that adds to the mix is amazing. Does it add that low level hiss that many of us long for? It can take a dead mix and breathe life into it. I still use analog gear for recording but have immersed myself into the world of UA for mixing primarily and I’m blown away by the amount of high quality plugins they offer. Game changer products for sure.

A bandle worth its weight in gold!!
These plugins are simply fantastic... just by adding them to the tracks, MixBusses or Master Busses they already provide incredible colorization. Presets that solve practically everything and still allow you to further improve the sound with fine adjustments. I really liked them!! Congratulations on the products and the work you do!!
The music grows so much with them!!

Rich and warm Ampex ATR-102
Hi,
you really nailed it.
Ampex ATR-102 really has a rich and warm analog sound.
Keep up the good work !

Something good
I don't know how the original tape recorder sounded or the difference between this plugin and the real tape recorder, but definitely using this marvel my tracks sounds just the way I want and I don't need anything else.

As I expressed in my review of the Ampex ATR-102, should’ve bought it a long time ago!!!
Once again, as my title says, I “should’ve bought it a long time ago!!!”!!! Just like the Amoex ATR-102, it really sounds great and it provides enough settings/options to get many different tones out of it. Very natural if you want it that way and it also distorts nicely.

Late to the game
I didn't think that it would make such a difference. It doesn't work on all material, but when it works - man. I read someone writing that it gives this professional polish and that's true. It won't fix your mix, but it would make it sound more like finished record. It sounds great bot on master and on busses. Highly recommended.

Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder
This is a really cool plugin, I will add it to the master bus to glue the mix before mastering using different presets depending on the style of the track or song. I recommend this plugin to anyone who wants to achieve a professional sound.
S. Apted
The plugin that changed how I mix
To say I love this plugin would be an understatement. It’s the plugin that single handedly changed how I mix drums entirely. Focusing more using saturation instead of compression, this plugin can get you that massive led zeppelin drum sound. I always have it on my master fader as well, using it for mastering jobs, as well as simple saturation. It’s super simple to use, and very musical. I can honestly say it gets used on every session I do, generally multiple times!

Ampex ATR-102
The best Ampex ATR-102 emulation to give the ultimate analog "glue" that will turn your work to perfection.
