Groundbreaking Tape Emulation Technology
The Oxide Tape Recorder plug-in was engineered by the same team behind the industry-leading UAD Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Machine and Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Machine plug-ins. Designed in conjunction with AES magnetic recording expert Jay McKnight, Oxide gives your tracks and mixes the warmth, presence, and vibe of professional analog tape.

Whether you’re tracking in real time using an Apollo interface, or mixing in your DAW, Oxide’s intuitive controls deliver musical results for beginners and pros alike. Just select IPS (inches per second), EQ, and noise reduction settings, and tweak input and output controls to taste. By emulating fat tape compression and colorful circuit behaviors, Oxide gives your tracks and mixes the cohesive glue that only analog tape can provide.

Not magic, but it’s a cool trick on all tracks.
I have quite a bit of other plugins that attempt this. Oxide just gets it right. It just sounds cool on everything I place it on. Try it and you will love it.

Fantastic!
After decades of music production that started with analog tape machines I was never a believer in these tape machine simulators until I tried this one. It’s tough to describe what it does. There’s a warmth and depth that is immediately pleasing. To really hear the scope of what it does, run a very familiar piece of music into a stereo virtual channel and put oxide on an insert. Adjust input and output to taste. An A/B comparison will reveal something you’ll notice easily but find difficult to describe in words.
I want it on everything now!T. Przestwor
Satisfied!!
The Oxide Tape Recorder plugin was all that it was hyped it would be. I found the way it causes the vocal tracks to stand out but not over power the rest of the project is just what I was looking for.
A. Shevchenko
Simple and powerful
Very nice sounding tape emulator. Easy make sound warmer and bigger.
Š. Kominko
Excellent tape.
Distinctive, warm, excellent plugin. Thank you Universal Audio.
S. Shaw
More of an effect than a tape emulation
I agree with some discussion on UAD forum, that Oxide's coloring is too strong - this can be good or bad, as always, but if you're looking for a subtle tape emulation, Oxide is not the choice and would sound cheap (go for Studer). But if you're looking for tone shaping, it is a great tool.

Very useful plugin and it sounds amazing on vocals

Simple and efficient
This plugin brings nice touches at a glance. It is an excellent value for money. Low on dsp, it is tempting to use it on everything.
L. Brigham-Bowes
instant warmth
Especially useful and integral on LUNA

Not bad but could use more features
It's not a bad tape recorder but isn't that versatile. Maybe some people like that but I feel like the lack of features don't allow you to do what you can from a true tape recorder.
J. Bru
Sonido ligero de Cinta
Supongo que al ser un plugin con muy pocos ajustes, tampoco se puede esperar mucho. Hace su función y en algunos tracks me ha gustado, en otros no he notado gran diferencia y ahí es cuando echas en falta poder realizar ajustes. Cumple su función.
O. Siqueiros
Something special
Difficult to explain, but easy to feel, when using the oxide tape "something" changes, if the vocal sound was good, it just improves, I don't know what it is, but it becomes more "pleasant" to my ear.
M. Kaloshyn
Love this tape!
Glue, bass, hi!
A. Gandy
A must have
What this did on my live pre recorded drums was insane! Not only does it warm it up it also brought some clarity. I’ve used it on instruments and vocals and it never lets me down.
