new UAD day - reel to reel

[Ruiner]

I was looking at real reel to reel machines yesterday and although i'd like to get them... it's just another thing to learn and a pain in the ass.

So i got these two UAD 2's instead:

Ampex® ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Plug-In



Studer® A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder Plug-In



Gonna take some learning but the presets are pretty great as is so just going to start there.

Anyone else use something similar? How do you like it?

I love Slate VTM for saturation. I dig it for just about everything, but bass, kick mics, tom mics, overheads (and hi hat mics), and guitar buses are my favorite uses.

Mark, you're gonna need to come over and give me a crash course on recording one of these days

I'd love to, mang! Although I still feel like I've barely scratched the tip of the iceberg. I've been into recording for 10 years now and I still feel like a n00b.

Before and after clips with the mastering plug in would be cool if ya get around to it.

Yeah i did one last night and it definitely made a positive difference but i want to try out some more of the presets first. I'll post a before and after here when i get one done.
