Oxide Tape

UAD / Universal Audio

Oxide Tape Recorder is a tape emulation plugin that delivers the warm color and punchy low-end response of analog tape through an intuitive interface. Engineered by the same team behind UA's industry-leading Ampex and Studer tape machine plugins, it combines tape saturation and circuit overdrive to add cohesive glue and musicality to individual tracks or entire mixes, whether tracking in real time through Apollo or mixing in your DAW.
