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.
Easy to Use
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.
“I'm not sure what alchemy or magic happened when you designed Oxide Tape Recorder plug-in, but I love it. It's simple to use with endless possibilities, and it's warm and crunchy while keeping transients intact.”
– Jacknife Lee (R.E.M, The Cars, Snow Patrol)
“The UAD Oxide Tape Recorder plug-in is my new favorite for saturation – it's amazing. ”
– Joey Waronker (Atoms for Peace, Beck, Other Lives)
“I’ve been using the Oxide Tape Recorder plug-in to oversaturate vocals and tape compress hi-hats. It sounds and feels very natural.”
– Mark Needham (The Killers, Neon Trees, P!nk)
“The UAD Oxide Tape Recorder plug-in is a fast way to get the sound of tape on all my tracks, with an easy-to-use interface.”

Nostalgic sound
Even in modern digital production, if you want an unrealistic sound like an old record, I think this is useful.

Smooth Saturator
This is my favorite UAD tape plug-in to use on vocals and string instruments. It is subtle, smooth when turned relatively low, and gives a great, harmonically rich overdrive at higher input...

15ips or 7.5ips - two flavours of "better"
Once I put this on something, it's hard to take it off. It just makes most things sound a little bit better. I rarely have to touch the levels, just choose a tape speed and move on -...

All three UA tape emulations...
All three UA tape emulations are definitely worth owning for different reasons. The Oxide is my DSP-saving, time-saving tape.
J. Socia
Great tape sound.
Track with it. Master with it. Great tool.

A Must-Have
Wether subtle or extreme, injecting Oxide Tape on my tracks has changed my ability to shape the sound of my mixes! Brilliant!
L. Heijnen
My favorite on bass
Love it on my synth bass. Like it when things are made easy to setup .
R. Osborne
Great for DI tracks
Even though I love the Apollo pres, I've never felt like they got my DI bass or guitar tracks (even with the UAD amp sims, which are AMAZING) to sound how I thought they should sound. This plugin gets them there. Simple, beautiful-sounding plugin.
S. Vasiľ
Perfect tape sound !!
I'm own many tape plugins, but Oxide is simply, effective and wow effect !
Y. Baribeau
One of the best I own
There is a "special feature" with that one (I’ll keep the secret, sorry) that makes it one of the most used plug-ins of my UAD collection. Thanks A LOT.

Light DSP usage and pleasing tones made easily!
I frequently love the UAD Ampex ATR-102 and Studer A800 when I need analog tape sound.
Oxide Tape Recorder was purchased during this sale.
The moment I inserted it into a track of the project I was working on, I was very satisfied.
Different analog tone from Ampex ATR-102 and Studer A800!
Light DSP usage and pleasing tones made easily!
Presets for a great guide!
I really like it. I recommend it!D. Gusev
I couldn't believe my ears at first!
I activated the demo version to begin with. I decided to check it on the master channel. And just put the plugin with default settings I was so surprised that I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did this really happen? What I had been looking for.
Velvety highs, solid bass, clear midrange... I bought it right away. The best saturator I have ever had!E. Drop
