Neve 1073
I have 2 Brent Avril 1073 hardware pieces and find the UAD 1073 software very very good in replicating tone...it's the closest I've found to the real thing. . They did a good job...a number of companies attempting to replicate this model seem to spend more time on the graphics that show up on your screen as opposed to focusing on the tone ...good job UAD!
Thnx

Crystal Clear and Harmonically Tasty!
Well There are 238 previous statements here that sum up what I would say. The 1073 and the 610 are always in my unison preamp section!! I'm very happy with UA's products!
Thank You!

AFTER USING THE DEMO I HAD TO PURCHASE
I used the mic pre a amp when i worked at a big new york studio and it sounded amazing with any mic with a tube tech compressor. Deadly combination. So I've been waiting for a company to emulate this plug in. UA definitely hit the nail on the head the way this pre amp sounds thru the Unison technology pre amp. Its crazy the same way you use the actual pre amp adding either warmth or distortion it is as close to the real deal you can get. Universal Audio is the Walter White of the audio world helping people like me gain the access to amazing plug ins to substitute the classical and extinct hardware that Musicians, Producers or Engineers may lack. I use this plug in on vocals mostly. New Users get familar with plug in by watching the video.

This is awesome
Seriously, adding the 1073 at the insert point and printing the pre amp's tonality and warmth alone just brings some much to the mix and for those of us who don't have 10k to fork out for a set neve 1073's in 500 format and want a bit of Neve... We'll I'd say look no further! It's actually every bit as good as it sounds, the EQ behaves as you expect and those with an apollo set up should definitely take advantage of this plugin and the unison technology. Awesome work UA !

Pristine
My brother has the real thing in our studio. We tested the demo against the real thing and the results amazed us We could barely hear the difference. In fact, for some things we liked it better. So I purchased it for my Apollo I have in my home studio. The only gripe I have is that I payed full price for it and the very next day it was on sale for 1/2 price.

Could not believe!
I could not believe what I was hearing when I strapped this on the Preamp section in my UA recording channel. It just makes makes the sound velvety and slick!! This will definitely be a go-to plug for me!!

Great unison preamp
I can't compare the plugin to the real thing but I am very very pleased with the recordings I'm doing. The only downside is that with a duo I can only get one instance at 96/24.
I wish I could connect a satellite via thunderbolt and be able to get more cores while tracking. Soundwise is really good. You can add a very pleasant distorsion to your tracks. It's also great to use it on a bus while mixing. The differences with the apollo pre are very noticeable (it will bring a lot of character to the recordins). I'm enjoying it while recording banjos and using a little eq with ribbon microphones to add some punch.
I think I still have a lot to learn with this plugin, wich is great as it means that it expands the amount of options available.

Rupert's great legacy 1073
Musical, What ever you throw at it always ends up sounding great, My go to pre is a 6176, and 1073 is great compliment to it. It's evident as to why people are willing to pay
serious money for 1073's and the few consoles that now exhist.

UA has done it again ,amazing 1073 plugin
I have the real Neve 1073 its the best mic pre in the world .I use or should I say use to use it on everything.The UA unison 1073 is just so good honestly I find myself using it over my hardware.Has the same vibe but I can save the settings in the session or my favorite combo chain.Like 1073 into 1176 plus LA2a is just larger than life on vocals.
I will say it over and over UA is top notch.They have above average customer service and simply have no competition as far as plugins and hardware go.

Just great!
Neve 1073 preamp sounds astounding, especially on drums. I couldn't be happier!
T. Brown
I love this thing!
My only issue with this plug is that it's a processor hog, maxes out my UAD-2 at a few iterations. I use this as my first mix step on a track, bounce track in place, and continue mixing as usual. After demoing this, I waited to buy, hoping that Slate's VMR would match its tone and "musicality," but for me, it didn't compare (I LOVE Slate's stuff, VMR was the first thing of their's I didn't buy immediately. I also realize this is somewhat of an apples to oranges comparison). Thanks UA!

It's just amazing!
I'm very satisfied with the Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Plug-In. I have a few great sounding recordings of my beloved Yamaha drums, these recordings were made on full analog system. The recording chain was RE-20 and Neumann mics, MCI JH-528 console, Dolby system, Studer A800. Well, using the 1073 pre I feel a similar behavior and effect. It is enough to just put the preamp on bass or drums or other instruments without using the EQ section, turn up the Gain - it'll sounds GOOD. No need further processing. But if necessary, using the EQ section provides additional enjoyment. Although that is true the Neve 1073 consumes a lot of DSP, I think this proves that it's a top-quality emulation and really happens something 'inside'.
Summary: Grat, UA Team!

my go to tool for drums
I'm quite surprised with this plugin. I find it particularly easy to to dial it in on kicks, snares and toms. Some plugins offer tons of features and graphics to tell you what is going on, and then there are plugins like this one - simple yet effective. A very musical EQ that takes seconds to dial in, and a gain stage that goes from clean to fat to grit. I'm updating all my project templates...
C. Tambascio
Worth Buying
Definitely different from the Legacy Neve. Great sound plus the additional gain staging features are nice.
M. Garrido-lecca
Real analog texture
True warmth, incredible body and texture from this plugin.
E. Olsen
Mmmm…the sweet sound of the 70's!
Just used it recording some female vocal – so warm and sweet. Nice presets, just push up the gain to the right level and enjoy!

Unreal
I had the legacy versions first and love them. When this came out I picked it up and was blown away. I have an Apollo 16 so I cant use it with the Unison technology, but Its nice when tracking with clean external preamps, and does wonders on stale sounding tracks.
It IS very DSP hungry though, so I still use the legacy 1073 strips for a lot of things..
