Ampex glory!
Ampex ATR-102 is sheer perfection on the master bus. This gives all of the character, warmth and charm of the hardware version... this is the glue for the final mix. With the Ampex ATR-102 you really don't need a master-bus compressor. The Ampex ATR-102 does enough compression that on it's own... it might be slight, but it is the super-glue of your mix. What a beautiful and colorful plugin. My second favorite behind the Harrison 32 EQ.

best master tape emu i worked with
The UAD Ampex is truely and just the best sounding of all master tape emus i tried and worked with in the past - including Waves, Slate and how they all call all. If you have the chance - A/B it (reading the manual is very inspiring too, while i'm usually hate manuals) and you definitely WILL buy it
Nothing more to say about for me...

Very nice tape emulation!
Well, I really like it a lot. Already had the Slate Digital VTM and Waves KMT and I have to say the UA Ampex takes the crown from the VTM (except for the multi instance grouping function of VTM). I mostly use it in slow tape speeds due to preferring the effects in the lower frequency range and I love how it glues the whole mix together. Excellent sounding plug-in!

Wow!
I just got an apollo twin and a sweet ass mic. I am a complete rookie when it comes to recording and mixing. Though this plug makes everything sound better. Like everything! I usually put it on my output channel and crank that baby up. Sounds like baby Jesus riding a badass unicorn rhino, ejaculating in your ears and whispering "everything is cool man" with his honey lips. Yes, I do recommend this product.

Curtindo o plug-in
Estou em fase de conhecer o plug-in mas já é perceptivo a qualidade dom mesmo.
Com um preço justo pois aqui no Brasil pagamos altos impostos para adquirir produtos importados.

Thanx UA for Ampex ATR-102 plug-in!
I made house music, deep, tech and with this stuff my sound stay more louder and clearer! So if you don't understand how it work you must try (you can found more program for different style of music) Iit's not cheap but it is much cheaper than analog machines but with the same quality))

It's just the best tool to finish your track
It's just the best tool to finish your track
I used it for my mastering before to try my track in Clubs, it add a nice polish some warmth, depth and take the last hashness to make your track rounded.
I own the wave kramer tape and tried the other wave but there is nothing compare to what the Ampex bring to your track.
I regretted that I haven't bought it earlier with my first UAD bundle when I bought my apollo. I followed a friend advice and got the Fatso, lexicon, Manley, Ocean Way Studios, BX2 v2 eq, and the SPL vitalizer.
If you are in the same situation just get the Ampex instead of the Vitalizer !!!

A Warm Blanket
I was doing a mix for someone in LA and out of the few comments I received back, one was warm up the mix a little. I went through the various tape and "warmth" plugs in my collection but nothing did the trick. Having performed proper EQ adjustments throughout the mix, I still needed one final element. I decided to buy the ATR-102 and place it on my mix bus. It happened to be the missing link. Having a general knowledge of tape and after some in depth tweaking, I was able add the final touch of warmth to the mix. The ATR-102 was like a nice blanket the covered the overall mix. My advice to those using this is READ the manual. There are some useful tips, techniques, and essential tape knowledge that is key to using this plugin to its fullest.

Awesome sound
Great tool for beefing up you mixes and also your mastered tracks, nice friendly interface a big plus.

Pretty much a default now.
I have this as a default in the mix buss in lots of my mixes now. It just brings everything together really quick. I love it. Hard to believe I was without it now. I suggest you not to test this plugin unless you're ready to buy it.

Early Returns Are Good!
I haven't had a lot of time to work with the ATR-102 plugin yet, but my initial impression is that it blows the doors off the Waves Kramer Tape plugin. Also, the very first song I mastered with it elicited a tremendous response from a very analog client, saying "whatever you did made it warm and gave it exactly what it was missing." So far, so good!

It's like...
Imagine looking at the highest quality LCD, HD TV, with pristine colour and sharpness (which I'm comparing to digital sound), then imagine looking out of your window - that's what the 102 is like. When the settings are set right for your particular music, this plugin adds an analogue 3D depth which transcends description. I already use a Dangerous Music D-Box, and this takes things to another level.
This is smooth, and has a sound which draws one's ear in.
I scoured the net for info and opinions due to natural hesitation because of the price. Then I tried it out in demo, and only needed a day. Demo it for yourself... for any genre. I'm happy I got it on sale, but probably would have splurged.
Simply, yes.

The Best Rell to Rell Plug-in!!!!!!!
Enjoyed! Really he has a sound recorder Amplex. Sound is soft, prefect for mastering!

Not just for mastering!
Yes, the Ampex ATR-102 adds killer flavor to your mixes but I didn't realize how versatile and amazing it sounds on vocals.the Tape Delay feature is absolutely amazing. If you're looking for that Lennon sound, this is the plugin you want to get. Personally I would wait till it goes on sale because spending 350 on a plugin can be hard to justify but that's just me. At first I liked the Studer A800 better out of the two but the more I use the 102, the more I love it. Great plugin
