My GO TO for mastering
Im late to this review, but Ive owned this plug for over 3 years now and it took my masters to the next level. I now slap it on the end of all of my chains (right before the limiter) and it does beautiful things to mixes.

Amazing!
After owning and using numerous tape machines through the 80's and 90's including the Ampex ATR-102, I was dying to hear this plug-in. WOW! it is so simple to use and sounds so good on the mix/master. After being away from recording for some time it has been inspiring to come back and have possibilities available like this plug-in to utilize and create with. Highly recommended as a must have tool in your tool chest!
Thanks UA for making this a reality.

Magic for your Mix!
So far, I'd have to say this is my favorite UA plugin so far. It sounds incredible on everything. I have to repeat what everyone else is saying regarding the Ampex. I've been using this on the the master and it just blends everything together so well. It really has been like magic on my final sound. I was hooked after the first day of using it. Love this plugin. Demo it. I think you'll feel the same way.

Awesome
This plugin will really help add that analog tape feel to digital tracks. I have a couple tape machines in the studio, but this thing saves me a ton of time and money and gives me 99% of the real sound of tape. I prefer the Ampex tape plugin but I'm not sure why, I still give this thing 5 stars as nothing else outside of UA compares.

VIBE!
Love this plugin too much. I'd put it in my top 5 as far as quality of sound and amount I use it. It goes on almost every master (along with my trusty UA shadow hills comp plug) and it also finds work on guitars, drums and keys. in the digital world it really warms things up. WIth the right settings you can get chorusy and slapback delay type effects with this plugin as well. It can be pristine warmth, or total distorted filth, depending on what you're after.

THAT BIAS!!!
OMG turn the bias all the way down and play with the in-gain, amazing degenerating and degrading effects. love the way the sounds break in form nothing ness.
Erm as a tape effect though, sometimes its invisible and sometimes its noticeable.

Nothing like the warmth of tape!
I love the Studer. This thing is a beast. I insert it on the Master bus and sometimes on every track. Deffinately my go to Tape plug I grab for everytime! Outstanding job UA!

Great on mix down bus
The Ampex live on my mix bus. It's great for adding glue and a finished sound. I haven't had a chance to dig into all the different ways to use it. Generally I set it using a Stephen Smith ultra linear preset, maybe tweak levels a little and let it do it's thing... which is great.

Just WOW
I've used the ATR-102 across my DAW master bus now for several mixes and absolutely love the way it completes the sound.. it gives my recordings a finished, record-like quality. And the new Ultralinear custom presets are simply amazing.
But recently I found another great use.. I was throwing together a quick and rough mix of a songwriting demo for a friend and found the ATR-102 to be an excellent time saver. I didn't have time to really dig in with the usual insert compression, level adjustments, automation, etc, so I just threw the ATR-102 on the master bus in Logic and called up my favorite 15ips 250 preset. Almost immediately I had a decent, workable demo to send out.

Tape bundle
The ATR-102 might be my favorite plug there is. I've used other tape emulation plugs in the past and while those are good.. this one really helps me take the digital sheen off recordings I am asked to mix. Don't want to mix without it!

Ahhhhh...... Tape......!!!!! Hands Down The Best :)
This badboy here is amazing, I usually put it on my kick drum and snare and my god is just tape music to my ears I can describe it is just big body and meaty definitely go to on all my ongoing projects. But to be honest I mainly used this bad boy on vocals. I mainly do Hip Hop Pop and R&B!
My vocal chain is U87 70's ver. - Through the UAD neve 1073 - Studer A800 - Pultec -La2a silver and my God Vocals never sounded better, it's the Million dollar studio vocal quality everybody's been searching for. Thanks UA i'm your customer for life! I recommend the studer to everybody!

Best Tape Emulation plugin in the industry
I have never seen or heard any plugin that nailed it like the UA Studer A800.
With UA's Plugin Technology and all the Hhigh Quality" Audio Interface/Converters out there, I still wonder if there's any need spending fortunes on Hardware Gears (Excluding Mic Preamps) these days.

The glue
I automatically have been throwing this on my master fader to get that "glue". Very versatile plugin for type of music you are recording/mixing or on individual instruments. I have had my eye on this plugin for a while and wish I had gotten it sooner. Love it.

A bit to Subtle for me
I use the studer on my bus'es. It's very subtle, and I think it only ads a little colour to my mixes. But overall, my mixes sounds better than before. More a fan of the Ampex ATR.

Glue me!
I just love this plugin. While the Studer A800 is more neutral, the ATR-102 brings all sorts of colours to my mixes. Especially when used on master bus. Only problem I have is rewinding the tape ;-)

Glad I purchased this
Like the Ampex, it's best when used in the proper context, rather than a carte blanche application. Moderately applied, I like what it does for tracks that can benefit from a bit of warmth, although I don't use it as much as I imagined I would. Still, it's a great sounding plugin and a useful addition to ones sonic palette.

Powerful tool
Used carefully, it's like having an old friend helping you. Although I used different machines, back in the day, this plugin delivers the goods. Very familiar results. It's not for everything (what is?), but is a great tool when used in the proper context.

STUDER A800 review by TYVY/Totem Studio
Hi UAD team,
I finally bought Studer A800 which is quite instinctive and easy for me to use although I was not familiar at all with hardware version!!
It offers much finer quality (with many options to fine tune your desired sound) than the previous basic "Tape recorder" plugin I've been using and I will apply it to all my ongoing mixes immediately, mainly to boost my Acoustic Drums Group sound.
It seems also interesting for Mastering although I've had too limited experience to explore all its possibilities.
I rate it 4 and not 5 because it consumes quite big resources of my UAD2-Duo Card (8%) which limits the number of tracks on which I can use it, since I also use many other UAD plugins. A bit expensive but worth the cost!!
