A very revealing look at Jacquire King setting up the 102 in a mix, he goes into a lot detail explaining his settings choices and plays demos, each time.

I just add it in default to get that extra low octave on bass and subs on the kick on drums … :-D
Only got it a while back … I will definitely take a look at this and maybe create my own presets … using some of the UA ones only bugs me because of the added tape hiss ….
which is why I wish there was a master setting in my UA account to say … NEVER add tape hiss or Lexicon “system noise” …. EVER :-D

Default does sound great too: easy to turn off hiss, just open it up.

Two clicks is too much trouble, how do you ever get a mix done ?  |

To hiss or not to hiss, that is the question. Bill was so ahead of his time ! |

javamad, "what matters"? For heaven's sake, just take 5 seconds, open it up, turn hiss off and save. You'll never hear the hiss again.
I've used the ATR-102 permanently on my 2 bus since the first day of the first Apollo, and I don't love plug-ins. That thing might as well be call the Betterizer.
I think it's simply the most useful plug-in ever made. I can do an album with the ATR-102 alone and sound great.
I've tried every preset, before watching long tutorials, try this, compare the 30 ips mastering preset to the Smooth Vocal preset on the 2 bus. Pick one, tweak levels to taste, save, and you'll have a great sound instantly.
Good luck!

The ATR 102 plug is such a finisher for me. I play with each tape type, width and speed. Something in there will usually work. u-he Satin is amazing for this, too. But many times I get the sound much closer to a record with that ATR plug...

But many times I get the sound much closer to a record with that ATR plug... Satin is more advanced and sounds better than ATR built up over every track in a mix but more of a chore to setup and gainstage. ATR has the wow factor. I like the Fuse tape for that too but again it’s not instant and must be played with. |

ATR isn’t supposed to be on each track? Guess, you have to try studer and atr ?

Yeah - finisher is the right thing to call it maybe. This is where Luna has taught me a lot...In Luna, the instance comes after the “summing” - which isn’t where I’ve (admittedly very rarely) used real tape in the mixing process. Usually at the end. But anyway - drop that thing in the slot and there’s an audible bump on the low end and little sheen on the top - at least with the default 15ips. I’ve tried other ips, but 15 works for me as a betterizer. Ther have been times I didn’t prefer it - I always toggle to check. But more often than not, I like it on.
