My drum buss compressor
I've been parallel compressing my drums for some time with a hardware FATSO™ Jr. and I was surprised (not surprised) that the FATSO™ Jr. / Sr. plug-in did the same for me. The midrange has the same feel to it, the "warmth" feature feels the same too. I have stuck mostly to using it for drums, but now with unlimited instances, I may experiment more.

It just does the job.
to me this plugin just works, once I got my head around the layout and buttons, I found it very easy to use and it sounds GREAT! Try it out first if in doubt! It's one of my go to plugins for stereo buss stuff.

Great Workflow
UAD have put together a fun tool here, looks and feels similar to the hardware. Does it sound the same? No. Does it provide a similar character and vibe? Yes. Is it a pleasure to use? Yes. I have many plugins that get me to the same place the UAD Fatso will, but I prefer this plugin. Some say it's too complicated, I disagree. Some say the saturation is not tape like, I say who cares. You can use a DAW's stock compressor and drive plugins to get a similar vibe too. At the end of the day, for me, it comes down to work flow and I really enjoy working with this plugin.

Good Must have tool!
Rather peculiar compressor !
Such a tool must be in the arsenal of the engineer.
It certainly emulation - but quality .
I did not compare the A / V device with the original iron . But the plugin to have a good algorithm to work with subgroups tools. Good " stick together " sound. Quite good and useful features . Versatile enough to use.
If you think what plugins to buy from compressors SA - this plugin buy safely . He is worth the money spent . Do not waste time searching the forums .

Fat f0cker!
Really good for giving sound that organic girth.
You really gotta love the tranny! Pushing a sound into the tranny hard = instant fat.
I like to tame the high sometimes, too, so the warmth feature of the compressor is great.
Honestly, I don't use it as a compressor at all, but I use it for beefing up sounds, and for that, it's dope!

Can't live without it
Out of the 2 week demo for the Fatso I purchased it immediately. It's absolutely great on everything. It sweetens everything up and has multiple functions which is great because UA plugs are so expensive. Nothing will ever be the hardware version of any plugin but they all get very close. This is a must buy for your UA arsenal. If you are new to UA and you want to get something, this should be it.

R. Castro
nice surprise
I wasn't expecting to like this thing. Brought my drum mix together. Doesn't work on everything, but when it does, it's very nice.

Fatso...
Not far off the original. Nice on vocals and drums in particular. Probably nice on just about anything really...

Warm & Big & Kick & Punch, Fatso Brings them all
Thank to UA again and again This plug totally change my work forever, my dream gear is in my box now.

AMAZING tone / vibe box
Drum buss, check. vocals (in parallel and as an insert) check. snare, check.
Anything you want to punch and have some attitude without it going crazy or sounding squashed (in a bad way) this is the plug. Never used the hardware, but this thing is great on its own. Seriously blown away!
R. Sheridan
Amazing plug in!
I've been using this on my drums buss and the bass.
Adds a nice warmth and really helps glue them together.
Thumbs up ua!!!!
E. Ramazanoiglu
Very happy indeed!
This does the fatso thing so so well. Perfect for transient taming and de-harshing as well as extreme mults and gentle enhancement! Great tool!!
D. Kalligas
Awesome,
I really like this plug-in. Sounds great on my drums and awesome on my Bass. I totally recommend this to anyone that would like a great sounding tool

Hey Fatso!!
I love the UAD Fatso plugin! I've never used the hardware, but this plugin rocks. I find when I put it across a drum bus, I barely have to tweak it at all to achieve a fat, punchy, glued together sound. I activated the demo to try it out on a hard rock mix, and couldn't live without it after - SOLD! A favourite on the drum bus!
J. Kennedy
Excellent for Drum Bus
Lives on my Drum Bus...Tranny on, hi pass, lock the snare down

D. Wilson
Finally
It's like getting my hardware back again, oh how I missed the smack on the snare drum.
O. Vehert
smile effect!
one of the best, if it's not the best tape sat compressor!
It glues, warms, "fatifies"...
i like everything on this plug...i've demoed it a few months ago to process a bass recorded in Di, and i didn't find another plug which add, punch, low-low mid, smooth transient and make the track growling!!
I have a satellite Duo, and i will probably buy another card to have more of this beast on my tracks. I have a Mike-e EL9 that i use during mix on bass guitar, and i have no problem to put this plug instead of the hardware which is not exactly the same i know!
Well done UA!
F. Filho
Very special plugin.
This plugin is very versatile and can be used in various cases.
I'm love in rock lead vocals, snare and base guitars.
