UAD Oxide Tape Recorder – Digital Delivery

Oxide Tape Recorder: Instant Analog Glue

• The authentic sound of tape: Instantly adds musical clarity, punchy low end, and cohesive analog warmth to vocals, guitars, and drums.

• Elite development pedigree: Engineered by the exact same team behind Universal Audio’s industry-leading, award-winning Ampex and Studer tape emulations.

• Streamlined workflow: Packs world-class tape machine behavior into an elegant interface with only the essential controls, letting you dial in hit-making sounds faster.

• Album-ready results: Gives individual instrument tracks and multi-channel sub-groups the signature “glue” and harmonic finish found on classic analog records.

Groundbreaking Tape Emulation Technology

• Real-time tracking with Apollo: Pair Oxide with an Apollo audio interface to track your instruments directly “through” analog tape circuitry in real time with near-zero latency.

• Fat tape compression: Recreates the natural physical saturation and tape compression behaviors that smoothly tame harsh digital transients.

• Colorful circuit responses: Meticulously models the nonlinear harmonic characteristics and electronic circuit behaviors of a premium hardware tape deck.

• Intuitive for all skill levels: Delivers deeply musical results for beginners and seasoned pro engineers alike without complex menu-diving.

Tailor Your Analog Tape Textures

• Dual tape speed selections: Choose between 7.5 IPS (Inches Per Second) for a warmer, fat low-end grit, or 15 IPS for pristine high-frequency clarity and punch.

• Adjustable input and output gains: Drive the virtual input circuit hard to introduce classic tape saturation and rich analog harmonic overdrive.

• Global emphasis curves: Select between industry-standard tape equalization curves to radically alter the frequency response and flavor of your machine setup.

• Onboard noise reduction: Toggle integrated noise reduction circuits to quickly clean up background tape hiss or preserve vintage analog behavior.
