Fatness
Does an incredible job on drums and brass. Sounds musical and warm if needed.

Very versatile Allarounder
You can achieve easily a professional and MODERN way of sound with this very versatile Channelstrip.
The Dynamics are fast and clear - especially the Comp makes a good modern VCA Sound. The EQ is very musical, great Boosts possible. But it's not a surgery scalpel to fix, instead it's a kind of wide brush to add color and mood.
Using as a unison mic preamp really kicks it!! This tool is really amazing and to be recommanded.

Badass on the mix bus!
Best thing you can add to your mix bus on in-the-box mixes. Adds dimension, fatness, 'realness' to every mix I do. Great range of control, great presets for starting points, lots of room for tweaks and experimentation. And by the way, the 'factory default' setting isn't a bad place to start on this machine if you're initially mystified with all the variables (and presets).
Really, really great and truly worth every penny.

Warm, fat, analog tone made easy
This is absolutely some of the best money you can spend on a plug-in bundle. The LA-2A grey is the first thing I turn to for warm, fat, analog tone on vocals, acoustic guitars and many other instruments. I have used the hardware versions in many fine studios, and am extremely happy to get the same great vibe in my home/travel rig.
I would also add that the simplicity of these machines and the many interesting presets make these very good -- and forgiving -- plugins for fledgling home-recorders just learning to use compressors.
Great, analog-sounding gear, highly recommended.

Fantastic EQ
It's incredible how much this EQ sounds like the original hardware. It responds the way I want it to and it sounds so good! I use this EQ on practically everything. 10/10. Keep up the great work Universal Audio!

Complete quality channel strip
I bought the API Strip and the Neve 1073 to test the Unison technology of my Apollo and after recording some guitars and bass with it I decided to sell my low budget hardware preamp.
The results with this preamp are really surprising, the bass and mid are solid and the treble is present but not harsh .
I found the API 512 sound that I know really well at a fifth of the price.
The compressor can respond really fast and works in a lot of material.
Like the 1073 it's DSP hungry so I turn off what I don't need in the strip when recording.
The EQ its classic API and nothing like the Waves one, IMO this one gets really near the original hardware.
Missing an option to turn off the preamp module to save some DSP when using it in the DAW.

3 in 1
So gentle comp's. All three is different beasts. My favorite is Gray, I use this for everything what needs soft and musical compression. New LA2A not just compressor it's great sound saturator, it's change cold DAW track on warm analog.

Studer A800 'the missing link'
No matter how great or big you're plug-in collection is it all comes to the effect of summing and colors. With pre-amps, eq's, compression etc the whole effect of mixing in the box only comes to a lack of colors that actually make the 'record' sound. Among other options the Studer is a basic tool I use either on individual tracks, busses, master output or both. It depends how you use it. The presets are handy if you haven't worked with the real machine but the magic is of course created by yourself because this entirely depends on what you put in en know how to use.

Pultec Passive EQ Collection
Great EQ for everything, excellent sound. Adds body, warmth and a nice top end. Thanks Universal Audio

ATR 102
Its Amazing!! Just putting it on the masterbus or the drumbus or leadvocals... Just make wonders to the sound with just its presets, makes the sound crispier and fatter and improves the stereoimage! I lööööv it!!

Took a while to convince me but..
It took me a while to be completely convinced it was worth the money. The deal breaker for me was stacking it against the 1176 so that they were both compressing just a little bit. I managed to get consistently good results on vocals and guitars before I decided it was worth the purchase.
All being said it's a compressor of which there are thousands out there, if you like the sound of it and find it relatively easy to use (I imagine you will say yes to both of those), then by all means it's a product for you :)

Great EQ, easy to use,
I used the Pulteq EQ on Bass synth a lot and master
The big difference for me, between the old and the new version is the Pultec Passive collection is more precise, less muddy than the old one. It's great to have an eq that boost the bass frequency without having a muddy low end !!!

Not really a Plugin
This one really stands out. It's not often that go in to a project/mix thinking specifically how this Plugin will be used as part of the planning. I love it, and it's part of my workflow. I when I think about it, I don't think, "plugin", and "Hey, How will this sound? Let's give it a try." I think "Tape Recorder". There is so much ground it can cover and cover it exceptionally. There are large number of great sounding presets to get you started with your new "studio gear" too.
Definitely becoming a "desert island" piece of kit!

Man...
I've been trying to figure out what to do with my hardware since I got this. It's phenomenal, and actually my most "go-to" pre of all the pres available on the Apollo. Compared to the Neve 1073, you'll notice this preamp doesn't have that punchy midrange. Instead it seems to have a more extended and well detailed low end. It definitely has a warm and much more even tempered sound. The EQ's and Compressor are a conversation piece in themselves. Easily 5 star, and probably the best value of all the Pres.

I love this thing.
I have been mixing analog for the past 10 years.
I recently was forced to go back into the box.
It is plugins like this one that makes it ok!
I put this on the 2bus for everything.
