UADx Studer A800 Tape Recorder

For more than 30 years, artists and engineers alike have been drawn to the warm analog sound, solid low-end, and overall presence of the Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder. The sheer number of albums recorded on this legendary 2" analog tape machine — including classics from Metallica, Stevie Wonder, Tom Petty, A Tribe Called Quest, and Jeff Buckley — serve as shining examples of the musicality of analog tape.

Fully authenticated by Studer, and modeled by UA's world‑renowned team of DSP engineers and magnetic recording expert Jay McKnight, the Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder plug-in is the first product of its kind. By faithfully modeling the entire circuit path of the famous A800 machine from Allen Sides' collection at Ocean Way Studios, this is the most accurate representation of multitrack analog tape recording available.

Features:

• Track and mix with the complete Studer A800 electronic signal paths, including Input, Sync and Repro paths.
• Add warmth, presence, cohesion, and low-end punch that only genuine tape can provide.
• Create complex analog textures with the distinct sounds of multiple tape formulas.
• Use the Studer A800 LUNA Extension to easily add warmth to your entire mix on a per channel basis.
