Neve88RS channel strip collection awesomeness
I've been using a Neve VRP Legend recently...however, in the peace and quiet of my own home studio without all the air conditioning noise and the other physical challenges presented by a commercial studio (not to mention the cost) i much prefer using this channel strip in unison mode with my Apollo....it sounds awesome...and it's so easy to use.

Excellent plugin but high DSP usage
This is an excellent plugin. One of UAs best work to date. The input stage is clean, accurate and warm. Great sounding filters and EQ. Perfectly usable compressor and gate. All in all it sounds fantastic, and there is very little that can match it in terms of quality.

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!

A more flexible 1073
The 1081 is a very important part of my plugin folder. Its flexibility is something which can only be described as a logical continuation of the 1073 and it delivers on that tenfold. The HP and LP filters are very gentle and each band responds realistically. Its low DSP consumption makes it useful in large sessions that need a Neve sound in bulk. Sounds great on just about everything you put it on!

"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....

Great tone shaping flexibilty
I was using the API Vision channel strip on the unison preamp technology on my 3 Apollos for about a year before I purchased this. I have to say, I think for now this 88RS channel strip is my favorite for mixing down my entire sessions thru a Dangerous 2Bus-lt summing mixer which is fed into a stereo unison preamp input. What I really like about this channel strip is the parametric EQ. That is very crucial to me, especially with summing down entire sessions to a stereo mix. The dynamics section can be very subtle and musical, or you can do some very intense compression and gating. The side-chain option can have very effective results, such as a de-esser. I feel like this channel strip is warmer than the API Vision Channel Strip, and the SSL

My favorite Unison device.
Works great as a virtual preamp. The gate function is better than the already impressive API Vision. I can get a crisp and clear male or female vocal signal in a untreated room. This was worth the money for me.

Chaosthetic Cosmos 100% UAD2
Sound engineer for CrossAngel:The album "Chaosthetic Cosmos" has been fully treated with UAD2 in 2014.
Neve 88RS channel strip for the mix then Studer A800, SPL TwinTube and Precision Equalizer for the premastering.
Effective tools that helped keep the analog sound throughout the project. thanks.

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.

Acquired 3 extra cards just for 88RS collection
Tried with Apollo and found out very soon I need more DSP, there is no freaking way I'll mix without using this everywhere on every channel. Once you hear this strip there is no way to come back.

So impressive!
So impressive and so easy to get the sound I need! You can get your mixes sound like a pro just by using only this channel strip on every track! Amazing tool! Love it! Thank you UA!!!

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!

Superb plugin! Great controls too! I have never used the original but the sound I get from the plugin explains why it is such a classic. I upgraded from the legacy version and didn't regret my decision for a second. I really like the colour of the pre when driven hard. The compressor is working as it should and gets the job done. I really like the eq. It took me about 5 min to understand how it works and have used it on numerous recordings. Probably the only gripe I have is that it is so dap hngry. I have an Apollo quad and can only put the plugin on groups because after several instances I get the one or more plugins disabled message which pains my heart. :)
