Thorp shares his use of the UAD ATR-102 plugin for adding tape saturation to his mixes, appreciating its ability to subtly enhance the warmth, depth, and cohesiveness of the sound. He contrasts different tape formulas and speeds for their impact on different mixes and genres. For this song he picked the GP9 1/2" tape, which is his all-around go-to, at 30ips speed.
