UAD Studer A800 Plug-In

Surprised this isn't posted yet. UAD released their A800 tape machine emulation today.

I've been waiting for this to come out for awhile now, though I don't know why, since I don't own a UAD card, and have no plans of buying one since there is no way to get a DSP card connected to my Macbook Pro.

Someone queue up a test against the Nebula R2R library immediately!

Ah, what am I saying, Plec's gonna do it anyway.

I've tried UAD Studer A800 and I cannot believe thats the sound Im been looking for years. The question is.. Should I buy Studer or CDSoundmaster R2R? Can someone post an audio comparison?

I've been mixing an real analog recorded project this week and I must say there's definitely something that make it "easier" to work with. Then again, it's not metal.

On a side note, there's an actual A80 (8track/1inch) rotting at my brother's place for years. Never got to use it because it's missing the front panel command card or something. It would have probably worked with a remote control... Seriously, it's been around for 15 years. What a waste.

Call me cynical but something seems a bit fishy about this... the whole boosted bottom end thing in particular.

A800 Mk3's are about as close to top to bottom linear as you get, save for a bit of 5K softness.

Whatever, fwiw etc. Be interested to hear it.

Had a few guitars that needed focusing today. The R2R did a better job than UAD Studer...
