Nicely updated Pultecs
In a busy or dense mix, you might not notice much difference over the legacy version, but on airy or sparse material it shines, much like the Manley. The new filter is just beautiful, icing on the cake. Ideal for any sound that needs to stay clean and natural. Although it does have a definite color, the tone shaping is more like sandpaper than a chainsaw. Engineers printed it for decades because it's pretty hard to mess anything up going in. Coming from that background, if I had an Apollo I'd probably print it even today. Now the slight downside: although the plugins are neatly stacked in the graphic, they are individual instances. Unless UA comes up with a chainer, it would be nice to also have a stacked version, like the Pultec Pro.

You wanna tape?!
If you wanna REAL character of REAL tape, just buy this plugin!!!!!
Nothing in the world of plugins (except Studer plugin) sounds like that!
Not 100% real ATR-102. But, really 99%. But, who cares about this one percent?!

Very Happy
This plugin sounds big and three dimensional. Going between the new Pultec Collection and the old Pultec plugin really shows how far they've come. Good job UAD!

I don't know much
but i know these sound stinkin' AWESOME!!!! I have never heard one of these in real life, only seen them, so I am not comparing them to the real deal. In comparison to any of my other software compressors tho, it's pretty much no competition yo.

Great plugin
I can't tell about the real one, but this wonder from uad really delivers what I was looking for!

My go to for busses!
This thing is a beast! Sonically it imparts something very special and can really help to glue together tracks on a buss. All the joys of tape without the headaches.

Fantastic Collection!
As soon as i demoed these, I was instantly impressed! Use these mostly on drums and guitar which come to life and sound really rich and punchy.

Ampex mastering 2 bus
I will be honest with you, I started moving away from UAD plug ins as there are lots of great native plug ins. But when UA came out with the Studer, Ampex, Massive Passive, updated and improved 1176, LA2-A, Pultec, Shadow Hills, and Millenium, I came running back.
Regarding the Ampex, I said to myself, I already have the Studer, I don't need another reel to reel plug in. But the character the Ampex puts on a 2 bus is quite different than the Studer. And it sounded so good, that I had to buy it. The Studer is great on individual tracks removing the cold clean digital sound and adding a touch of smoothness. The Ampex adds a cuddly sound to your mix making it sound more pleasing to your ears. I won't master any song without it

Nice One of Two
What can I say. This one works like it should. It warms up mixes, reduces spikes and other things that you could say could also be achieved with a compressor except I doesn't sound like a compressor at all. It's a very clever plugin for the people who are still not completely satisfied with digital recording, and I doubt that anyone who remembers analogue really is. Digital is great for everything except it still need the last 1 or 2 percent to sound as sweet as analogue. This plugin is the cure for that, at least to my ears (and memory).
One of Two refers to the Studer plugin which is also very good but not the same as the Ampeg, I have both.

One of Two
To me this is the kind of plugin that you have to have been around the block a few times to appreciate. What it does is so subtle that you can hardly tell if it's on or not (on some settings) but it makes things sit much better in the mix amd that's a huge quality to me.
I think that this will probably a plugin that I will most likely add to preety much all tracks, or at least groups, until I run out of DSP.
With the One of Two headline I'm of course making a reference to the Ampex plugin which on the surface seem to do pretty much the same. Well I have both and the short answer is they are not :-)

My desert island plugin
If I could only have 1 plugin for the rest of my life, this would be it. By being a little creative you can get so much out of this. And it just sounds so real! I couldn't be happier with this plugin. This is the best tape emulator there is on the market. Buy nice or buy twice, this is the one. My only complaint:
Pitch control. Why is there no pitch control? To be able to slow the tape down, record and then set play back to a higher speed as you can with real tape machines would have been the icing on the cake. But I digress, beyond that feature there is nothing you can't do with this plugin that I like to call "Saturation Island"

warming!
I use this for the stereo buss and it warms things up quite nicely!
R. Rodriguez

thanks again UA!! More MOOG stuff now please.

Loving the Leveler
I wasn't really sure I needed an upgrade with more variations on the LA-2A theme. There are so many out there, and I have used the original UAD plugin for years. But I'm happy to say, it was very well worth the upgrade price. Suddenly, I find myself using the LA-2A Classic Collection plugins constantly, whereas before it was only an occasional thing. It's safe to say they have become my new go-to for compression on vocals (especially backing vocals), guitars, and bass. The different flavors are actually distinctly different, each one having it's own best uses and character.
These new plugins really do have much more of the "ghost in the machine" - that magic that analog gear creates and so few plugins can mimic.

Pumping
Ampex ATR-102 I liked for a long time. I was waiting for a profitable time to buy. Compared with Waves Kramer Tape, has a more transparent saturation and very good on the BUS Drum.

Incredible plugin collection
All I wanna say is : " They are amazing." Please demo it and you will know what I mean. Then you will buy it.
