One of the best plugin walkthroughs I've ever watched, with a science and history lesson at the start? Killer.

This was seriously the BEST video on explaining both tape and the Ampex ATR 102. I’ve went through a ton of videos but nothing like this one. Thanks for making this for the world.

[@ryan.butters]

One of the best simple explanations of tape mastering that I've seen. Great job!

[@coryparham]

I've been looking for a straightforward demo of this machine. This was it! You addressed all of the questions I had about this plug. Thanks from Sweden!

[@AllyKiss18]

Beautifully explained, I’ve got the Studor A800 and this one by UAD and they are magical. You really bring the romance to the mystique behind tape. That’s also a beautiful piano riff.

Dude... Seriously great video. Definitely a better walkthrough than anything else I've seen online, and I loved learning about some of the physics behind it. Thanks!!

[@cali3168]

One of (if not the) best tutorials I've seen regarding this plugin - and many thanks for the history lesson.

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

Outstanding demonstration! Thank you.

[@lleevv1052]

A really good walkthrough. Thank you.

[@matias7438]

This was really exceptional man! Absolutely loved that you dived into the physics behind tape, the historical context of each feature, and a walk through of the plug-in itself. Well rounded, complete, and invaluable. Great job, and greeting from a fellow Producer!

[@florianwiegand1313]

I still enjoy my actually rebuild Ampex ATR 102 :-)

[@waithere119]

it's the best video on tape machines

[@churchaudiolife]

Just pulled out my old reel to reel tapedeck to use for tape saturation or tape delay effects.

[@markbutler5730]

They are used to record onto cd records & cassette tapes digital masters .

[@lisagarland2646]

Damn, your voice is soothing 😳

[@karimthomasii1120]

Hello, I couldn't find on their website if this plug-in is available in 32-bit. Do you know which formats are available?

[@smoke4090]

Came across this video yesterday and it made me want to buy this plug-in. Ive looked online at the specs required for the plug-in and cant seem to get a straight answer. Does anyone know FOR SURE if i can use this plug-in with any interface or do i have to have a univeral audio interface like the apollo to use it? If you answer and say that it can be used with any interface can you provide some proof? What interface have you used this plug in with? I know i have the right specs from my computers operating system and i have a pretty good interface it just isnt made by universal audio. Its on sale right now because of memorial day but i still dont want to spend $100 on a plug-in i cant even use. It seems dumb that they would make a product and then limit its compatability like that. Dont they understand theres more money to be made by offering these plug-ins to people who either cant afford or dont need to buy an apollo twin?

[@darkcharmrecords]

I'm on windows, no Apollo. You don't need it, but the native version

[@JoshuaBunke]

Really Good Video:) Can u pls make also one for the shadow hills mastering Compressor from UAD ?

[@johnsoklaski4428]

Really interesting! :D

[@SaherGalt]

A fascinating topic for sure :)
