OVERALL OPINION

I was really not a fan of the processing software, but it was before discovering the DSP and plug-ins from Universal Audio.
The Studer A800 is the latest addition to the collection and it is really stunning, subtle, but stunning.
He brings a "warm" thanks to its decay in the treble and the bottom of his typical "TAPE".
In mixing, its effectiveness is really felt after summation of the slopes. This is where you hear the difference. Thanks to the "gang" control, you can control all instances of the plug from one. Convenient for the bypass and to switch between different controls.
It is also the first time I am convinced by a "drive" digital. Great on drums and voice.
I find Studer very musical. Like the IPS mode 7.5, dark well, a bit like Joe Barresi. (My master)
In addition there is a tendency equalizer and much less compressed behind, a good sign.
It is now routinely on all entries in my sequencer.
NEVE 1081 EQ back and forth.
