Dead easy, gorgeous looking, sweet sounding
I've never worked with a real Pulteq, and quite frankly I never understood why people were raving about this old box. Haven't EQs gotten so much better over the years?
Well, I don't know if it's the ease of use or the character it has but I do see now why it is still so popular. It has become my go-to EQ for guitars and individual drums, even sometimes vocals.
Many times just because it's so dead easy to dial in.
This new version is not all that different sonically from the legacy plug. It does have some more beef low end and some slight improvements, but sadly not enough for me to pay the price.
The GUI is one of the most beautiful UA has put out there and it is also optimised for retina displays which few of the UA plugs are. A+!

API magic....
4 stars because even the plug in runs so hot..... Mic PreEmulation is worth the money, let alone the EQ and the compression!
N. Tessier
A blast to use !
This Emulation of an API console is probably the best out there. I tried a few and eared the real deal, nothing sounds closely than the UAD plugin.
I find myself always coming back to this for mixing drums or guitars, anything agressive enough ; The preamp section is beautiful, and the Gate is really really short, which can be usefull to create nice effects.
With a PCI octo, I can run more than enough of these to mix without being worried.
If you're thinking about buying it but are not sure : Do it. You'll be amazed.

Awesome!!!!
Very good plugins, and solid as a rock Eq's!!!!
I would recommend the for home and project studio's.
B. Tonak
Awesome
The API Vision is my go-to first try plugin on tracks of almost any type: drums, vocals, guitars and more. Using it in Unison with my Apollo is awesome. On some occasions I end up pulling it off a track for something else, but on most tracks it does what I need it to do. I could make a whole record with just this if I had the dsp.

Great on mix down bus
The Ampex live on my mix bus. It's great for adding glue and a finished sound. I haven't had a chance to dig into all the different ways to use it. Generally I set it using a Stephen Smith ultra linear preset, maybe tweak levels a little and let it do it's thing... which is great.
N. Mendez
If its UAD worthy its gotta Be awesome.
I AM ADDICTED TO THE UAD SELECTION, THIS TIME THEY RAISED THE BAR YET AGAIN WITH THIS API MONSTER, THE VISION IS 20/20 IN CLARITY AND IS A USEFUL TOOL TO HELP YOU GET A SOLID MIX , POP IT IN ON ANY OR ALL CHANNELS AND TWEEK YOUR SOUND, AND UTILIZE ALL THE TOOLS IN THIS COMBO STRIP TO MAKE LIFE EASIER IN THE STUDIO OR HE SET UP.

Really Great
I lean more to the player/computer geek side of things. So I wanted to take a while with these guys before leaving a review. Having said that, the Passive EQ collection is simply great. They sound great, the presets are very usable and tweaks are easily made with musical results. Again, I don't have tons of experience with the hardware version so I was a little apprehensive. That quickly went away. Well done to all at UA.

Excellent
Excellent!!! me encanta como hace vivir el sonido y el calor que le da

Just WOW
I've used the ATR-102 across my DAW master bus now for several mixes and absolutely love the way it completes the sound.. it gives my recordings a finished, record-like quality. And the new Ultralinear custom presets are simply amazing.
But recently I found another great use.. I was throwing together a quick and rough mix of a songwriting demo for a friend and found the ATR-102 to be an excellent time saver. I didn't have time to really dig in with the usual insert compression, level adjustments, automation, etc, so I just threw the ATR-102 on the master bus in Logic and called up my favorite 15ips 250 preset. Almost immediately I had a decent, workable demo to send out.

Ahhhhh...... Tape......!!!!! Hands Down The Best :)
This badboy here is amazing, I usually put it on my kick drum and snare and my god is just tape music to my ears I can describe it is just big body and meaty definitely go to on all my ongoing projects. But to be honest I mainly used this bad boy on vocals. I mainly do Hip Hop Pop and R&B!
My vocal chain is U87 70's ver. - Through the UAD neve 1073 - Studer A800 - Pultec -La2a silver and my God Vocals never sounded better, it's the Million dollar studio vocal quality everybody's been searching for. Thanks UA i'm your customer for life! I recommend the studer to everybody!
B. Tonak
Love the silver
Love the faster time constants on the silver. I use it a lot on vocals and other sources. The mkii collection adds some nice extra special magic on crucial tracks over the original la2a.
M. Garrido-lecca
Incredible software compressor from UA!
I’ve worked with the actual LA2A many times and this software version comes amazingly close to the real thing! It gives unique vintage taste and works great at the Master channel strip as a limiter. Its natural and analog character adds a bit of “life” to each sound.
K. Paktrakettrin
Work just great !!!
Work just great !!!
I put it on every single track and every chain in my DAW's Thx UA. Great Job.
A. Giusti
Great sounds right from the presets
I never used any of the hardware this plugin is based on but I can say they make every track sound awesome. Just swapping between presets is aurally pleasing.
R. Garcia
FULLNESS!
I only have used The LA 2 since I've got this pack. But BODY AND WARMTH AND DEPTH, DEFINITION..
I love this as a 2nd compressor in the chain. Beautiful master piece of a plugin!
GET IT! WORTH having in the arsenal

Great plugin, works as described, sounds and functions great.
U. Steve
Best Tape Emulation plugin in the industry
I have never seen or heard any plugin that nailed it like the UA Studer A800.
With UA's Plugin Technology and all the Hhigh Quality" Audio Interface/Converters out there, I still wonder if there's any need spending fortunes on Hardware Gears (Excluding Mic Preamps) these days.
J. Lane
F***ing Awesome
This Strip sounds absolutely amazing. Better than the Neve or the SSL for sure. Just having the option of another pre is great. whether it's drums, guitars or whatever....this is the best bet for sure. I absolutely think it's fantastic.
S. Moniz
The glue
I automatically have been throwing this on my master fader to get that "glue". Very versatile plugin for type of music you are recording/mixing or on individual instruments. I have had my eye on this plugin for a while and wish I had gotten it sooner. Love it.
