Favorite Mic Pre
Bought my first Apollo and dove in demoing all available plugs. This was an instant winner. The Pre with Neve EQ made every mic sound amazing. This is great to use in UNISON on the way in, if you just want some Neve EQ in a mix use the 1073SE Legacy that comes with the bundle and save DSP. UA Prices on plug-ins in the store will drop based on what you already own, causing some confusion. UA should fix this and just show "PURCHASED" instead of the reduced price or "UPGRADE" instead of buy now to minimize some of these bad reviews on an excellent plug-in.

Can't record anything without it anymore!
It's a perfect reproduction of the original neve 1073 preamp! It really does the job, making my recordings sound so much better!! I use it on everything and it's like having the perfect preamp! I'm using it with my Apollo Twin and I couldn't be happier!
Thanks Universal Audio!

"That" sound
You can't really go wrong with a sound as ubiquitous as Neve. This lovely thing has quickly become my go to tracking preamp/EQ and very rarely do I find myself wanting much past what it puts out. Vocals really shine through the 1073. Clarity remains a constant even at higher, more aggressive settings. I find myself using it most with the Apollo and Unison, recording the effect directly to the track. If you don't own a UA interface, you may need to be a bit more DSP conscious while mixing. That said, this plugin will make a great addition to anyone's toolset. I never begin a session without it.

best all around
this is the best all around plugin ua has to offer in my opinion. I hate that now it's 99 dollars tho. Should've waited but i couldn't because my gas kicked in. I guess that's a testament to how good it sounds....

ALUCINANTE!!!
Me parece increíble este plugin. Si bien es cierto que consume dsp, el sonido es alucinante. Lo empleo siempre para grabar voz y así seguiré. Siempre con la ventaja del uso DSP UAD, que deja la cpu del ordenador libre para otras acciones. RECOMENDADO!
S. Swanson
Awesome !!
This is the first plugin u bought for Apollo Twin to use with unison pres
It sounds fantastic
Unison preamps are why I changed to UAD and I love the Neve 1073

The best Vocal Eq plugin yet?
Honours your DAW with Sweetness, Life, Air, Clarity and Focus. Transforms wooly Vocal recordings into something expensive-sounding.. 7k on female vocal.. Lush.

There is a Reason this thing is always a top seller
I got the 1073 back when the Apollo Twin first came out, since then Ive added the new Apollo 8 and an Octo and Quad for tonnes of processing power. We are ALL fortunate to have all this amazing tech available at a fraction of the price it was back in the day. I own most of the UAD plugins like many of you its kind-of an addiction, especially when Black Friday and Christmas roll around. I have all the channel strips for Unison and I was recording my bass guitar doing tracks through all the amazing Unison channel strips for A/B and they all have amazing qualities. BUT there is just something about the 1073 with an LA2A that just has a thang, it just sounds so musical the way a cool bass track on a vintage record sounds....Love IT!

Neve love
I am addicted to this pre amp on my unison channel. It ads a cohesiveness that is hard to explain but easy to hear. Really a fantastic addition. Way to go UAD!

One of the best neve pre-amp /eq!
The new 1073 is one of the most acurate emulations of a Neve console pre-amp and eq.
But even the earlier 1073 legacy version is a great tool to give softsynths and drums this extra analog punch and warmth.
I also use it many times during recording hardware synths. Also very great to create the typical in the mid frequency range boosted dance, house and hip-hop drums. Brings vocals in front of the mix.
Because the new Neve 1073 is very cpu hungry I use the newer 1073 plugin mostly for recording/tracking and the earlier cpu friendly legacy version during mixing.

My favorite Unison plug
This one leaves in my Unison slots on my Apollo 8. This EQ just make sense to me and my ears. Very sweet spots indeed, and finding them just takes a few adjustments to the knob. This is a plugin full of win.

all i need
8 channel on the Apollo 8p, it's my new setup for recording !! Sound really good, i can make an easy mix, with this quality sound, it's just amazing to have a big and warm sound like this, it's just to easy !
A. Yeats
Use it all the time!
Slightly resource hungry and fiddle to adjust with the mouse but have it over 8 channels of drums and would not track without it!!!
O. Debby
Very good!
Dont get wrong...
It's not the real thing, it doesn't handle my Ribbon mic's for example the way the real thing could...
But for the sound and character? It's better than any other (similar) plugin out there.
Personally I believe that for vocals (unison) you need a good preamp and a good compressor. (Hardware, class A, metal box)
For what comes after this plugin is super!
For everything else... Drums, bass, guitars... It works amazingly! (Unison)

Awesome plugin
It is incredible for recording, very crisp and with a lot of character, preferable over every other preamp.

1073 for EVERYONE!
I worked on a desk full of 1073 in the 80's and 90's and for decades I've been missing that "thing" being able to drop a 1073 on the input of the console page and record it on the way in is just another amazing bonus UAD has given us in this "tools treasurebox' they've been creating.
I just need to figure out how to take the Apollo on the road and use it when I mix live shows!
d. dekker
Stunning!
Huge step up from the legacy model and so great as a Unison preamp on just about everything so far. I only wish I could run more instances on my Quad Apollo. Keep up the great work!
