Good for punch
I really like how the low and high frequencies start to sound a little bit more punchy.
Will use it a lot for sure

Really good for saturation
I really like this tape. It's great for adding overdrive to guitars. I really like it for that saturation. The only thing I don't like its that I cannot run many of them on my Apollo Twin Duo. I guess I'll just have to buy more processing eventually.

Instant goodness and mojo
Put it on a track and smile :-)
No seriously, really quick for creative workflow. It's so simple, but good!
J. Driscoll
Simple and effective
Being able to quickly make use of tape saturation to catch high peaks and transients without all the extra choices that Ampex tape brings is great.
N. Christie
Can almost smell the tape !
Just inserting this adds warmth and I now use it over 3rd party alternatives!
A. Snow
Analog sound!
I love this plug-in! Not only does it have an analog sound, it also spreads your mix open and makes it sound better sonically. I use it on my master track and also drum bus. It's also super easy to use.
G. Braconi
Great!!!!
I love this plugin, a great tape emulation....sounds realistic!! A must have!
L. Trucillo
Very Usable!
Oxide is a very good choice!
I'm actually always finding myself using it on hats and synths and it immediately gives me that "pro" sound i was hoping to reach.
On my kick drums instead i can't find a use for it, for this single task i just prefer other tape emulations.

Fantastic
Really does take me back to the 90's when I used tape. Simple...to the point and subtle. Love the 'glue' it gives to the lower frequencies. Very nice job UAD and what a price!

Amazing
Sounds great, I pretty much slap this on my Guitar and Drum bus all the time, can't go without it.

Finally a Tape Plugin that works
It's Easy to USE , it Sounds Great, its Low Cpu.. non cluttered GUI and performance .. This is a WORK Plugin .
A. Shaw
Two thumbs up!
Just slap it on your buss and tweak slightly "magic". Not sure about other tape emulations but this one worked as avertised.

oxide tape
easy to use in numbers of applications -2 words- "SIMPLY MAGIC"- again UAD rules
.
Oustanding
Incredible usable plug-in! Yet to find a sound source it didn't respond well to with fairly minimal tweaking. Definitely worth a purchase if you don't have the Studer or Ampex already.
M. clifton
Oh my
So instant! Its a presto plugin. Used it on the master bus and nailed that Tape sound so well. It also brings out some crisp as well.
M. Ries
Instant goodness
I've demoed all the UAD tape sins, and while the Ampex and Studer are awesome and very tweakable (and over twice the price), Oxide holds it own and makes up for it's lack of options with near instant great tone. You really can do quite a bit with just the input and output alone. Using this a lot on drum busses and acoustic guitars, but it works on just about anything. Highly recommended.

the best plug in
was a bit skeptical about tape saturation plug-ins. My friend said it was making a huge improvement to his mixes so I bit the bullet and bought the Oxide Tape Recorder plug-in. I have to say this plug-in is the difference maker. Its the biggest single improvement I have done to my mixes. The demo videos I have watched don't do it justice.
I highly suggest everyone to try this out and hear for yourself what magic it can do to you mixes.
Thanks

the best
+Brad Kinder The DSP usage is needed because they emulate as accurate as possible so that eats a lot of power. The issue is that the UAD2 DSP chips are 10 years or so old. UAD should urgently come out with a new board. Analog Devices - the DSP manufacturer - now have new SHARC DSP's with dual cores and at higher clock speeds so UAD could easily tripple their power on a new Octo card. Honestly I don't understand how UAD even dare to sell a 1 DSP chip board. That's totally ridiculous. An Octo board isn't even enough to make a track with all UAD plugs.
