Almost magical results!
Quite recently I did a project involving the recording of an Iberian Pipe Organ, from the XVI Century. I used a Jecklin disc with two omni small cardioid mics. When listening back the same I found that the sound was quite natural but missing some more crispness. Tried several typical tools including EQ and exciters without success. Then I tried the Studer A800 plugin... Couldn't believe in the results. The non-linearities of the tape just did the trick! It looked like I'd multi-miced the Organ! Such fine detail! And still sounding absolutely natural! If tape alone works out magic, then there are no words to describe this plugin! UAD guys you touched my heart once again! Your plugins are worth every piece of my hard earned cash!

Utterly Amazing! A Must Have!
I was at Sweetwater Gearfest and went to the UA workshop with Ryan West. He shared how the ATR-102 just has magic behind it and was he ever so right. I put this on the Master Bus of a track and the song just came alive. My favorite part is the ability to tweak the Repro High Frequency and Low Frequency knobs and Bias. Adjusting these different knobs turns the tape machine into a living EQ that gives warmth and air to the top end and tightens up the low end giving that true record sound. Utterly Amazing! A Must Have!

Try it for yourself
The video demonstrations are OK, but not even close to working with this plugin on your own DAW and your own tracks. So try the demo, listen closely, play around, and you will NOT be sorry. I bought within hours of playing around. You won't need 14 days. haha Bought the AMPEX plugin too.

Grown Man — Cried Like A Baby!
Having owned the predecessor AG-440C, I missed the warmth and analog 'glue' in all my 24/88 ITB mixes. I kept complaining to my mixing/mastering guy about the brittle sound—a bit too clean & sterile.
I've had this plug for less than a day and plopped it into the first slot of a finished mix. (Slot 2 contains Ozone 5.)
I started going through the presets and tears came to my eyes—tears of joy... Hell, I cried like a baby!
I instantly heard a radio-ready master.
My problem now is deciding which finished sound is right for each Golden Master—and I probably have to remaster several projects I've put to bed. It'll be worth it!
And I'm doing this on a MacBook Pro.
Damn impressive UAD and thank you AMPEX for partnering up!

Sheer sonic delight
The combination of the Studer in the mix and Ampex on the master is great and glues it all together. The top end is crisp and the the bottom end is tight.

Stunning ...
... and subtle; I like the Studer much more than the Ampex.
Why? Its more versatile .. great plugin

Love this software plug.
Just invested in an octo card and upgraded to pt 11. Next I picked up an Apollo twin duo. And a used MacBook pro to run those sweet preamp plugs. 1073neve and the 610b. Sounds unbelievable. thanks uad for a new outlook and upgraded sound. Nothing left for your sale sh.....

First things first...
I add Studer as the first plug in on every track, and I mean every. About half the time, I use an appropriate preset, the other half I leave at default with maybe a few tweaks. It really removes the brittle digital feel that I sometimes hear on my tracks. While subtle, it's real. It's by far my most used plug.

Great plugin
This plugin is great on the master. Capable of adding some great character to the final mix.

Seems good
I haven't had a chance to delve into this plugin too deeply, but so far it sounds good and adds a nice tape sound. Low cpu means you can use it on individual tracks.

Absolutely blinding...
Been wanting this plug for ages... and now I've finally got it. Pretty much a mainstay on all my synths... using the bias and degredaton for ultimate retro effect without the hassle of real tape machines.
Brilliant.

What can I said...
I don't think any one needs some recommendations on this plugin... It just make music sound better!!! I use it all the time and it helps me to create really good separation on my mixes. is amazing on acoustic guitar and drums!

The Game Changer
Such an amazing plugin. You can go on and on with it trying different combinations and you just never get bored! ..and the Sound - Sweat and Warm - I am addicted ;)

Fantastic tone shaper
I've never owned or used a real analogue 2-track recorder, however I can only re-iterate what others have already said about this plug-in. I've had it for several months now and find it can really make a difference - from subtle to slamming. On the 2 buss it has the ability to transform mixes into records, but it's just as capable on subgroups and individual tracks. I've mapped the fiddly under the hood controls to a midi controller which I find makes it much easier to use (and more fun). I also own the Satin tape plug-in, and with the two of them I'm more than covered for great itb tape emulation.

Tubey
If tubey is a word, then that Studer describes it. I picked this over the ATR, not sure why but it just felt better. I've tried out the ATR and I did get it, but I still prefer this better.

Mastering...
I feel like this is all I need to get my master bus sounding stellar...a limiter helps as well.

Warm it up
This plugin is incredibly cool on guitar tracks - fuzzing it out is what I'm after and found such a great tone when doing that!
