It is used to \u003cstrong\u003ethicken\u003c\/strong\u003e a take, \u003cstrong\u003eround off\u003c\/strong\u003e transients, \u003cstrong\u003efatten\u003c\/strong\u003e the low end, and add a natural \u003cstrong\u003eharmonic saturation\u003c\/strong\u003e that helps tracks blend better. Whether you're working on a pop demo, a rock mix, soul, hip-hop, or electronic music, Oxide adds that extra \"body\" that takes a sound from clean to alive, without forcing you to manage a complex machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts practical value is also significant: instead of stacking multiple processes (saturation, gentle compression, coloration, noise shaping), Oxide lets you achieve a coherent result with just a few moves, both in \u003cstrong\u003etracking\u003c\/strong\u003e to inspire the performer and in \u003cstrong\u003emixing\u003c\/strong\u003e to glue the whole together and improve clarity. It's an ideal tool for those who want tape character with immediate control, on individual tracks as well as subgroups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA tape sound ready to mix, without menus or complications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by the team behind UA's most renowned tape machine plug-ins, Oxide focuses on the essentials: you select the \u003cstrong\u003etape speed (IPS)\u003c\/strong\u003e, apply the desired \u003cstrong\u003eemphasis curve\u003c\/strong\u003e, adjust the \u003cstrong\u003enoise reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e, then control the amount of color with the \u003cstrong\u003eInput\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eOutput\u003c\/strong\u003e controls. The result: you quickly get usable saturation and dynamic behavior typical of tape, with a more \"finished\" mix feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTape compression, saturation, and circuit overdrive\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOxide doesn't just \"dirty up\" the signal: it reproduces natural \u003cstrong\u003etape compression\u003c\/strong\u003e (which tames peaks and softens attacks) and \u003cstrong\u003eharmonic coloration\u003c\/strong\u003e that helps elements sit in the mix. Pushing the input triggers more pronounced saturation and expressive overdrive, useful for adding bite to a snare, thickening a bass, making a vocal stand out, or adding grit to synths. Staying more conservative yields subtle warmth and a very effective sense of cohesion on buses (guitars, drums, backing vocals).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTwo IPS speeds and two curves to shape character\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e7.5 IPS\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e15 IPS\u003c\/strong\u003e selections let you navigate between different typical tape responses, playing with density, punch, and texture. The \u003cstrong\u003etwo emphasis curves\u003c\/strong\u003e offer color variations to tailor the sound to your arrangement: softer and rounder, or more present and energetic. This \"few controls, lots of music\" approach encourages you to decide by ear and stay in a creative flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eReal-time \"through tape\" recording with Apollo\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOxide is designed to work equally well in mixing and tracking. If you use an Apollo interface, you can record with the feel of passing through a real analog chain, in \u003cstrong\u003ereal time\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is especially useful for guiding a performance (more controlled vocals, thicker guitar, tighter drums) and reducing mix time by starting with an already inspiring sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFull software\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloadable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emacOS Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13, or Sonoma 14\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eVST-2, VST-3, AAX\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCPU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eIntel, AMD, or Apple silicon processor\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated controls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eIPS, EQ, noise reduction, Input, Output\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eVST-2, VST-3, AU, AAX\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlug-in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eUAD Oxide Tape Recorder\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360964432147,"sku":"398836","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/beaa59cb753ddb8c6d159c8583ff4252a605272b_UA_11783244.jpg?v=1789403850","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/universal-audio-uad-oxide-tape-recorder-398836","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
