Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

WOW...just WOW
I am not going to lie....With all the hype around the ATR 102 (which I bought about the same time). I assumed the A800 would be slightly less impressive. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! The A800 is amazing!!! What it does to the low end in phenomenal!!! The luxury of not dealing with an actual tape machine makes the world (and my projects) a better place :)
I do however wish that Oxide was includes in the bundle :(

Great plugin!
Can't track drums without it now but for me it really, really shines on vocals. Sweet sounding tape compression! Love it!

Tape is king
Every track, every time, perfect session that's what you need to do

Studer A800
Beautiful beautiful seamless sound. Very very happy I made the choice to use UAD products in conjunction with my Apollo. Far far superior to ANYTHING by waves. Awesome:)

Love it!
what makes it really worth the money to me, in addition to that it´s realistic, is that it is easy to use!

Flagship UAD plugin :)
This was the main reason I started considering a UAD, as nothing in the native world comes close. Worth every penny and goes on almost every track.
Generally softer and more saturated than the Ampex, great for single tracks/busses.

Low End Character
This is an amazing Tape Emulator. The low end it brings to your tracks is just spectacular. I place this on all my busses and it just brings the song to life. I could add it on every track but I like to be realistic with my plugin and DSP use and find just using it on every buss/group works great.

Smooth subtle cosy? Very effective
I was told to get this from some one I respect in engineering circles. We were mixing down some tracks and there was harshness on some channels so this was the go to recommendation. It has a smoothing out type of feel a bit like the brainwork refiner (thats just my opinion) but it was better in that when pushed it has some nice subtle compression also which is hard to describe in words as there was not really any distortion more a warm together feeling of a sound
I suppose you could simply say it does exactly what people have been saying for years what putting to tape does to a sound so yes another perfect emulation for the UAD boys.

First insert
Put this on your first insert followed by an ampex, dial according to taste. Your welcome.

Saturation
We have this exact tape machine at work. The plug-in sounds exactly like it or, if you want, totally different. I prefer the ability to change settings on a plug-in rather than commit to a specific real tape recording. My favourite preset is "Cassette"....seriously saturated.

Try it!
I haven't purchased neither of the tape emulations, but I used my free trial and this is just musical, I'll def purchase it in the future. So many usable options, it's hard to mess up something when using this plugin.

Top Tape Tracking Tool
This thing is powerful. I use it for drums mostly, but have used it on guitars and vocals too.
Sounds great when pushed into the reds on peaks. I try to aim for +1 or +2 on the meter with drums.
If you use the Ampex tape plugin, this is a nice compliment to that. Together they can really get an authentic vintage sound.
I've only worked with tape a handful of times, but this gives me the freedom to play with it and not worry about breaking anything.
Getting creative with this can also give you some cool effects!

Just Brilliant!
Having used Slate VTM for some time I had heard a lot about this plug so obviously once I got on the UAD train it was essential I check it out. It going across all the tracks is where it is at. While I love the VTM still and it has a place being my 2buss tape The Studer has taken the individual tracks in spades. This plug brings so much to the sound you will find you need less compression and eq. So much to the point where you will be doing things like a real engineer and only using them as need be basis. Meaning rather than throwing a bunch stuff on tracks once you get things close to where you want them you really question if you need anymore! Great plugin and worth getting because it will be used every session which makes the cost worth

Sutíl Saturasion!!
Lo he usado en Buss master de Baterias.. y es muy bueno como realza los transientes agregando una pisca de saturacion... es genial!!!
E. Maccoppi
Great mastering tool!
My master nver will be the same !
B. Olivier
Perfect for Drum bus
Really Nice! I use it on my drum bus most of the time. It Glues everything together :-)
L. Garcia
Great!
Great to my mix and master sessions. Lovely sound!
N. Franks
Great Tape even if you have ALOT of others!
I have probably most if not all other tapes by other makers and of all of them Slate's is the better fit for the tape sound to my ears. I didn't really care for it across all the tracks though. That is where the Studer has really shined. The controls are great! Most people already on UAD already know such things but if you're skipping this one due to having other tapes? Try it!

Pathetic
Since this is 'Magneto Month' I thought I'd share my pathetic review. I started recording as a teen 30 years ago with tape and always hated it, because of the darn hiss / high end trade off with Dolby B or dbx that constantly pi$$ed me off. I welcomed the digital age and could not understand why UA would emulate antiquated technology to this extent. I demoed the A800 and believed it was just another EQ plugin with some hiss EFX for fun. But once I bought it and learned the manual inside-out and began to learn its history and what exactly I was tweaking I fell in love. OMG. I cherish 70s and Alan Parsons and boy does this bring me back to where subtle distortion and pleasant overtones shape music that is so pleasing to ears. Mm..mm .mm.mm Mm
