Emperor's new clothes
I'm a fan of UAD plug-ins. Yesterday I was mixing at Air Studios 2 Lyndhurst, where I have mixed many film scores and is my go to mix room having been at Air since 1986. So I could A/B the 'legacy' 88RS with the new 88RS. The eq and the compressor sounded pretty much the same and didn't represent a huge leap forward. They've added pre amp saturation/distortion and a fader for the upgrade price.
That doesn't bother me, what does, is that the plug-in is ridiculously dsp hungry even with deadlock off and no sections turn on it still eats away dsp which leads me to believe that what UAD are really doing is trying to sell you more hardware to run these plug-ins.
It's a shabby and cynical way to treat loyal customers. Shame

88rs collection
i just upgraded me 88rs ... Can you say lets all dial in the BASS.... amazing sound and nothing like the legacy

NEVE HEAVEN!
People have been giving this plugin bad reviews due to its price... but as an owner of the now legacy 88 series, this update its in a completely new league than its predecessor. The legacy version seemed to make things a little muddy but this new one just gives you a warmth and clarity worthy of the neve name. If you are looking for a channel strip plugin, this is definitely a must. Gotta say tough that I still love the API VISION. But if you can, own both and have the options you need.

Neve 1073- improving my mixes
Made a big difference in my mixes- works great in Logic Pro X. I'm using the Neve plug-in for vocals and for the "drummer" program in Logic, and really adds a more realistic sounding kit. It takes significant dsp power, but I'm fine with "bouncing" my tracks in place.
Well Done!

TRUE DRUM GLUE
When I was interning at Studio West in San Diego, they have one of these in Room A. This console sound great when tracking anything but was I personally loved it on was drums. The room has an SSL 4000 console as well, one day I was assisting a session and patched everything into the SSL because that was the "Magic Console" the engineer nicely asked me to switch it all over to the Neve for drum tracking. Once we switch it was like the drums came to life, after that I started using the Waves version of this plugin and it didn't really hit home, finally upgraded to an Apollo 8 and demoed this right out the gate after one mix session I bought it. This plugin gives a life that the console does and is simply amazing. JUST BUY IT!

Drums like heaven!!!
Never seen such a great plugin for drums mixing... low and low mid are from heaven!!! If you want that smooth and consistent bass drum sound JUST BUY IT!!!
B. Olivier
Sounds great
Great sound . The EQ is amazing. Ideal for quick recording when you can not bring your preamp rack
.
Very Impressive
This EQ sounds amazing. It has the warmest sound ever. You can't go wrong with this Neve EQ. It can make someone who doesn't know how to sing sound like as if they've been singing for 25 years. Thank you Universal Audio for making a phenomenal EQ.

88RS in my production studio!!!
Haven't worked on an 88RS in a while. I love the legacy version and held off buying this version for a bit cause I didn't see the need. I rolled the dice and bought it. I definitely does make a difference having this plug in on the mic pre. Sounds smooth with all sources hitting the pre. I like to drive it a little to get more warmth and definitely shines in this arena. Before I primarily used the 610A as a warm pre, which I still like to use for color. But there is nothing like having this console sound married to the recordings. Great job. A once nearly unattainable product is now in my grasp. This console is one of my favorites to work on. Now I have full automation control in my DAW on the mix and tracking... it is the swiss army knife.

Use it on pretty much everything. Breaths life on tracks on the way in.

Amazing!
I bought the Legacy version of this and used it a lot, so was a bit gutted when I found out I had to shell out $150 for the new version. However, it really is worth it. The sound is more open and has that analogue drive you want. I also love the 1073 equipment and pre, but this is that bit more refined, with the added bonus of gate and compressor.
I recently put this on a master channel at mix down of an old session I was re-mastering and it just added that professional gloss and zing you want.
Lovely. Thanks UA!

Great Plugin - but the upgrade costs...
This plug is excellent for dialing in saturated vocals. The harmonics never seem to get out of hand - and I've been shocked to see how hard I've pushed the EQ when doing mix revisions a few days later. It the real deal.

Outstanding Emulation - QUIT WHINING!
You people should be ashamed of yourselves by rating the product so low just because you don't wanna pay the upgrade fee. It is worth the $149. It adds new features. Why complain about it when they are adding UNISON to the Channel Strip? Same thing happened to the 1073 and the reviews weren't affected by the winners non sense. You can't be a serious professional if you refuse to understand how a company spends thousands to develop and perfect a product. Stupid, childish and amateur. Quit the "loyalty" BS. The product is worth the price and it sounds great. $149 worth of this whining??? Most of you have used plenty of coupons and vouchers that are given on a regular basis. I don't know a company that gives more vouchers than UA. GROW UP!

Stellar
Just purchased an Octo satellite, just so I could get the 88RS on every track.
Yep - it's that good...even if it's a hungry beast.
Having never worked with the hardware version, I can't really say what the similarities and differences are, but for my purposes as a professional songwriter having mainly to deliver convincing demos to critical ears in US and France, this is amazing.
I especially love what the vintage character does to the modern pop music-domain which is what I'm working with.
Stellar...
