Universal Audio UAD Analog Tape Bundle

What Pack Tape Recorder (Ampex, Studer, Oxide, Verve, Galaxy) Is For

This plug-in pack is designed to recreate the behaviors and musicality of analog tape within your DAW, whether you are in production, mixing, or mastering. It helps you achieve a more "finished" sound by adding glue between tracks, slight natural compression, harmonics, and controllable saturation, while maintaining the control and repeatability of digital.

Ideal for pop, rock, hip-hop, electro, jazz, or film music productions, it can be used both as an insert on vocals, drums, or instrument buses, and as a bus master treatment to add density, smooth transients, and enhance perceived loudness without becoming aggressive.

Main Features

Two complementary "studio" approaches: multitrack and mastering

Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder is designed for multitrack work: it provides console and tape coherence to a group (drums, guitars, stems) by adjusting input level, dynamics, and color. Ampex ATR-102 Tape Recorder, often used at the end of the chain, focuses more on finishing: solid low end, smooth highs, a sense of glue and depth, very useful on a master bus or subgroups.

Modern colors and creative textures

Verve Analog Machines offers a palette of analog characters to quickly enrich a sound: from simple harmonic thickening to more obvious drive, handy for adding dimension to synths, vocals, or samples. Oxide Tape Recorder keeps it simple with quick handling: perfect for multiplying instances in a project and achieving a homogeneous "tape vibe" without slowing down the workflow.

Tape echo and movement

Galaxy Tape Echo delivers the aesthetic of tape echo, with organic repeats, lively grain, and typical modulations. It's an excellent choice for creating space without invasive reverb, thickening a lead, adding movement to a guitar, or setting up a more textured dub delay.

DAW integration and session consistency

Thanks to modern 64-bit formats (AAX Native, AU, VST3), the pack integrates easily into current sessions on Windows and macOS. You can use it in tracking (depending on your buffer), mixing, or mastering, with instant recall of settings and sonic consistency from one track to another.
