I Thought I Already Owned This Plugin...?
Sure it's an amazing sounding plugin, but why should I have to buy it again? People paying for this plugin twice sets a dangerous precedent as it lets UA know this is acceptable. Am I going to open a mix tomorrow and see all my plugins are now "legacy" requiring a paid upgrade? Shame on UA for stooping to such lowly marketing techniques

Api channel strip
very disappointed with uaudio, bought the api vision channel some time ago. now the whole thing is being transformed into a legacy version and i am supposed to pay a lot of money a second time for a product that has simply been mutated a second time. (full version) ?! sorry, I'm not participating!

Not sure I want this....
Just bought an X4. Now I see that UAD pulls the same stunts that Waves does on their stuff. Big disappointment. I was told earlier that UAD kept customers happy by guaranteeing future upgrades and improvements, the so-called "you buy it for life" model. Sounds like that is not the case.

Man, I am so happy!!!
So, I had Apollo Twin Duo and Satellite Octo and buch of plugins from UAD, Tapes, Analog series mk2 etc. Recently started using Luna as a FUN PT replacement. And with this sale this was no brainer to pick this up and Maaaan! I Love the feel, the workflow, the sound. Bow for real now I have a freaking API console with instant recall, hundreds of channels and all mastering units baked when you want them, instant sound. Now that is a New Year present, thanks UA, you giving us, digital producers reminiscence of that sound and workflow, it is really good for studying how great songs can be made, I am a Student. Thanks friends!

Sweet.
Love this plugin. Sounds great. I can practically just use this on every channel and get a great mix. Got everything I need in one plug. Loving Life!!

Shame
Заплати дважды за один и тот же плагин. Ребят, это позор! Нельзя так с людьми, которые платят и без того немалые деньги за ваши плагины. А еще отдельно заплати за версию для LUNA... Я разочарован.

Pay twice for the same plugin. Guys, it's a shame! This is not the case with people who are already paying a lot of money for your plugins. Also pay for the LUNA version separately ... I'm disappointed.

560 EQ
The single most musical EQ ever. It's strapped across every channel in every session.
Z. Rippy
Paying double for just an "EQ option". BUMMERTOWN.
Very sad that this is just an update to the eq section and now my API channel strip i bought earlier this year is a "legacy version". Shady business forsure.
K. Aji
same plugin as the old one with a few 'updates'
the old buyers of the 'legacy' version will complain & the new buyers will praise their new purchase
K. UMEDA
WHAT????
Why my api strip legacy ? I don't buy the same plugin twice. Shame on you...
↑Exactly this

Great plugins - crummy upgrade path
I particularly like this sentence: "The API Complete UAD Bundle does not include LUNA API Console Emulation or API Summing Extensions." So, maybe it isn't really so 'COMPLETE" after all? As someone who already has the original UA API Eq's, Compressor, and 'Vision' channel strip, paying over $100 'on sale' for slight upgrades to ONE of those plugins feels like a no-brainer. I mean, the only way I'd do it was if I had no brain.... Okay, fine, you also get the API Preamp.. But don't I already have that on my Apollo xp8? Just adding to the critics who believe that existing users should be getting a better upgrade deal. AND this new 'API coupon' special does NOT work towards the Bundle.. why? Who knows. Sigh. Is it my imagination, or did UA used to be better about this sort of thing?

This refresh, like Manley, Neve, should be FREE for the already owners
People pay top dollars for their Apollo, OX, UAFX, and then you release a "refresh" for 150 bucks. You can do better for sure, start thinking outside the box by starting not being so greedy.

Really nice plug-in/unison pre
Using it on Vocals and Percussion mic’s. Got a nice punchier and present sound.
J. Lapp
A great addition to the tool box
I love the simplicity of the API preamp. It adds punch and the mid range bump you would expect from API. Like all preamp emulations the sonic “weight” is not quite what you would get from a hardware unit but the cost benefit of software is huge. Overall I rate the Unison API preamp 5 stars.

Your complains are just not fair..
All you complainers are just not fair..
Come on UA I am waiting for SSL Summing extension Upgrade for Luna!
E. Toews
You are wrong, what is your problem guys?
For al those people who are complaining for paying the same plugin twice, I really do not understand where your problem is, - you get a preamp that colours your sound in a different manner and another optional switchable EQ. this not quite the same, and on top of that you get a NATIVE extension for Luna!
really, I would understand complainments like if you are payng for your updates on waves, but this here is something different...

Bad Customer Experience
It's absolutely preposterous that you have to buy the same plugin again if you want a pretty minor update. I don't think anyone ever really felt like UAD cared particularly much about its customers, and this sure hammers the idea home yet again.

API FOR EVERY THING
This is a really nice plug! I have the Apollo twin x, I use 10 inputs on drums, an Api pre 0n each mic and it only uses around 30% of the Xs dsp . sounds lush ,easy to use and efficient! sick on guitar mics as well . I do recommend this to my friends!
M. Halle
Is is wort it?
This is a clear bridge of trust! Charging those who own the original of this Plug-In is clearly wrong. Thank God Lindell's 50 is a more than able substitute!
