“Everyone Was Younger Then”
Written & Performed by The Soldier Story
This is the first time I've ever actually heard a drastic difference and it still be pleasant to listen to. I'm convinced everybody else I've ever heard this from is just using these tape emulators wrong
You are 100 percent right… rape isn’t what people think it is. So many think it just makes everything better, but many times it just ruins and muddy’s up your low end, smears transients, and ruins punch and clarity. It’s all wrong, especially in heavier types of music
I love this plug in! I use it with recording drums all the time and it helps glue my mixes together.
you guys complaining? this thing is amazing, try it on your tracks
Love it. Adds glue and warmth that feels real.
👍🏻
Very helpful tutorial. Thank you!
Awesome!
Why doesnt it have a 30 ips option????? when I was learning at CRAS we always tracked @ 30ips, is the faster the tape goes, its basically it's sample rate, 30ips sounds more realistic than 15. doesnt it?
How about the ReVox B77 Tape Recorder? Will you make the plugin for simulating this?
Awesome! \o/
I thought it was a Elbow song. like the voice and atmosphere of this artist
could you make a croud contron ?
SOUNDS MUCH MORE FULL WITH IN COMPARISON WHEN BYPASSED.
I absolutely love this plugin. I prefer this version to the one you get in Luna. With the iLok cloud, it’s impossible to even launch Luna on my end. I honestly don’t see the point in it.
To anyone reading this: Would you rather try to squeeze some "analog warmth" in your mix with a console emulation plugin, or with a tape emulation plugin ?
both
@@user-sd7eb6jq9y agreed. But it always depends on what the track needs and how much of it
@@hokkym.6348 totaly agree. But in the tape days and analog console days you simply could not choose if you wanted more or less tape or console in your mixes. You just accepted that as a sonic limitation and scuplted your sounds around that topology. So when I choose to be consistent in this fasion, for every album I mix, I construct a different tape / console topology that is consistent through out the album. So even tracks that might be a bit different context-wise can now at least sound consistent sound-wise ashare the same topology like they would if they were produced 20+ years ago. Took me lots of time to make a 150+ plugin template for this but then I customise the template for each project and its very fun mixing this way. Each song kind of mixes itself. I even choose the same plate-hall-room presets to follow a whole album cos same presets + different sources = different reaults. Just my two pennies...
Does this need to be on all the tracks? Can I put it on just the busses and the mixbus?
Hi dean, depends how deep you want to go. All tracks or just busses, either can work! Have fun!
This thing is the real deal... I held off from buying UAD for a long time because it costs more than waves plugins; I finally got a bundle of their stuff on sale which included this... just last night I compared this to my other tape emulators... OOOOOFFAAAA. This blows them all away; you don't even have to change any settings... most of them you are adding saturation (as if tape machine's give you that option); with this you just turn it on.
I'm going to try the demo
+AVSbeats you get this for free if you have any UAD
i received and email. if you have UAD hardware or account in their website you must receive an email. check their website
there's an update. i think you need to update your console. i can forward you the email if you want
I like these tape plugins and uad compressors
Compared to other brands on the market , I do have an interface however. I considered uad interfaces but have heard you’re pretty limited to just a few plugins at a time due to processing limitations.
With satellites like an 8 core how many plugins of saturation can I expect? With some compressors too?
I like the freedom of tweaking back and forth . For example working in drum parts with vocals and guitar tracks at once .
How many tracks could I put this on roughly? Along with an la2a and 1176 compressor on an 8 core satellite?
Hey there Hey there! 😄See this chart for how many plugins you can run per chip. help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/215262223-UAD-2-DSP-Chart
How to achieve the sound of a narrator? What vocal preset does he use?
Oh, if only it were that simple!! It starts with the voice of course! Gannon has some unique pipes!!
Universal Audio Also can I use maximizers such as Izotope in UAD? I want to have an indistinguishable sound from my recordings live.
@@chriscaro546 Only our plugins run on our DSP chips. But you can certainly use your favorite Izotope plugin along side ours in your favorite DAW!
"Charge the Oxide on 24 tracks with a single UAD-2 QUAD DSP accelerator". Ok, and if you have an APOLLO-TWIN-MKII-DUO, can the Oxide Tape Recorder Plugin do something good too?
I mean you could put it on then bounce or freeze the track but it'll be a lot of extra work and won't be as convinient.
Yes… about half. Lol
what the name of this song and who is the singer (Everyone Was Younger Then) in this video
?
Let me see if I can find out! Standby Hussein.

Hi guys. How are you enabling / disabling multiple instances of the plug at once? Thanks.
In Pro Tools, Command clicking will Bypass a plugin, adding Option will Bypass All. You can also Shift-Option-Command click to Bypass Selected. Hope this helps.
@@UniversalAudio ahh yes, you’re just doing it within the DAW. Just checking there wasn’t a sort of master controller within the plugin itself to control multiple instances. I believe the UAD Studer has something like that? Anyhow, doing it in the DAW works too!
Correct, Studer has it but Oxide does not.
what is the point of this? you have the Ampex already.
How taxing is this on DSP? Any more or less then the Struder?
+Glitch Computer +1... I'm hoping I can get a whole bunch of these on each input on my Apollo 16 MkII when tracking. Just running off the Quad DSP
1% on x6 too
no level matching. louder seems to be always better. that´s cheating!
here we are not talking about "better", what is better?..... here the thing is emulate the quality sound of the analogue era, and analogue not means better, if you understand something you know what im talking about. SUBJETIVE LISTENING for some of us analogue rustic defects and noises make that record sound many people love. its up to you use a complete digital sound or try emulations or find analogue gear.
May someone load To LUNA on master slots TAPE :OXID TAPE or Studer A800? Or it's un possible?
Only the ATR.
sounds pretty kool but looks a little CPU hungry
It's not, note: you do need one of their interfaces to run it but it's not power-hungry. Plus you can track with it to tape.
i dont understand how this is any different from eq
Because it's dynamic, responding to the music in unique ways that emulate these classic machines.
@@UniversalAudio Please elaborate. Dynamic?
Changing as the music/sound changes. EQ is static and doesn't change as the levels change.
Love UAD, but I look at this and think hey, I'll put this on everything...and then remember I'll never have enough DSP to do it. with my Apollo I have to make decisions...what UAD do I ABSOLUTELY need, then when I hit 99% its all waves, slate and everything else. 9.8% in mono and 15.4 in Stereo. So, in the example above over half the DSP in the Apollo DUO would be gone. Maybe worth it, but would hate to sacrifice using Pultecs, Neve's, EMT 140, etc. Time for another Apollo or a satellite...or 2.
+Bryan Dunn do you require all real time for live recording purpose? if not, why don't you do multi pass? that's what we did back when our studio had a solo. we printed layer by layer. however we moved away from uad since. got tired of waiting for windows support on apollo tb.
Freezing your tracks really helps (If your using Ableton or Pro tools 12)
Bryan Dunn I prefer to record with Oxide on Console, for warmth with the settings so i don't use dsp while mixing
I tend to use stuff like this on a separate master mix of the final stereo mixdown/bounce (I bought the Ampex reel to reel). I agree, this stuff just eats DSP, and I do wish I'd gotten the Quad instead of Duo now. But..and this I really can't complain about...its making me make decisions early and printing them to tracks as I record, like how you would do with actual hardware. It's forcing me to learn to software better and to really concentrate on what it all sounds like. Not necessarily a bad thing. But I'm a bit new to computer DAWs so I haven't formed the ability to change everything after the fact as a habit.
With tape sims (whether UAD or native), I've actually really enjoyed printing all my tracks through a tape sim first with nothing else on them. Then, I start my mix with the tape processed tracks. This workflow simulates the way people used to get mixes -- with tracks that had been recorded to tape. Mixes just seem to come together way faster for me this way. I end up having to EQ and compress way less. If, on a rare occasion, one of the tape sim processed tracks is giving me trouble, I just fly in the unprocessed track in it's place and try that out. I get to have my tape sims on as many tracks as I want without worrying about them eating up DSP. Yes, there's extra hard drive space, but that's about the cheapest component of a production rig these days so I'm good with that.
hahaha so this is what mixbus was bitching about..."hay guys! this is how you make your tracks sound like a record....with this plugin!"
Louder is always better. And do we really need another UA tape machine? If yes, then why?
here we are not talking about "better", what is better?..... here the thing is emulate the quality sound of the analogue era, and analogue not means better, if you understand something you know what im talking about.

nice sound but terible vocal
ok!, let us hear you voice dude!....
That is not the way to use a tape, it costs a lot of money to adjust the tapes and I have never in my life seen anyone fiddling with the input of these expensive machines in any pro studio, the meter needles should barely move, no Engineer does this that you show in the video, it is not real!
