Great legend comp!
Used for electric guitar and acoustic guitar. LA-2A is very active at the time of the mix. Because the release is long, it may not be suitable for Japanese vocals with a lot of voice grain. But a great legend comp.

G. Leong
My favourite plate reverb on drums, guitars and vocals!
The search for the nicest sounding and easiest to use plate reverb is over. This is a love at first listen. Tried the demo on my mix and it sounded better than all the other plate simulations I had.
C. SMITH
A must have!
Couldn’t believe how this single plugin transformed my mixes. As soon as you insert the plugin, you can hear the warmth it brings. Thanks UA for making an awesome plug!

Briliiant as always
This is a very well sounding plate. Basically thats it. It is colored, it fits well in context. I like it, even tho i do not use a lot of plate verb in my mixes.

Compression for Dummies
LA2A=PCC. Print Compression with Confidence. For me, the scariest part of tracking with compression is committing to screwing up the perfect take by choking the dynamics with a more “versatile” compressor. The LA2A won’t let that happen as over cranking the one knob even sounds good. Don’t burn the sound with the legacy plug, you’ll want to upgrade to the Silver LA2A. You might not hear it now but there’s a magical level of depth, clarity and warmth/saturation the LA2A adds to any instrument that just pulls the sound from the speakers like a hologram. Sure, you can mangle it with a Distressor or nuke it with an 1176 but all those knobs and buttons, for better or for worse, alter the sound in a way that should be reserved for non-destructive mixing, and the legacy 1176 works great for that after the fact. This does not apply to the seasoned engineer with the golden ear but to the rest of us amateurs armed and dangerous thanks to UAD. SM58 (or any $$ mic of your choice)+1073+LA2A+talent=WINNING! Focus on the take, not tinkering while tracking and if you can’t get a killer take with that you probably need to buy more plugins-j/k. It’ll happen anyway. BTW, do I get a coupon for leaving feedback?

Reverb for Dummies
I think UAD consolidated the sweetest configuration of another similar more expensive and DPS intense“wink wink” classic plate reverb to create this the one-stop hassle free reverb shop fairy dust plug-in that requires zero skill. It’s the hot sauce of reverbs-a little here and a little there goes along way but drenching it sounds great too…if that's your style. Demo at your own risk.

Much improved from the legacy version
Wasn't sure if it would be worth it, but there is a noticeable difference from the legacy LA2A plug I've been using for the last couple of years. Glad I made the jump.

Creamy on the inside, crunchy on the outside!
That's what it does for my vocals!
B. Delaunay
Good Plate reverb
Good plate reverb. Not the best on the market but good enough to work well.

Best limiters and compressors ever
I am really happy with this purchase these three plugins are amazingly good on vocals, bass, and synths I do recommend them the other producers and I will continue to buy from universal audio, expensive but does the job good.
A. Saadat
Great for Drums
Puts a very special warmth to the sound.

This plugin hardly needs a review to justify its sheer precision. Just demo it & you’ll understand.....makes a great sound greater.
f. Rose
Really nice
Colours beautifully
J. Woolcot
Simply stunning!
Using an La2a feels a bit like cheating. 2 knobs and a bucketful of tone and character, instant awesome on vocals, bass and overheads. This collection is incredible, another job exceptionally well done by UAD.

A BASS PLAYERS DREAM
I love what this collection does to a bass signal. As a 25 year bass player the tone is right on the money. UA makes the best stuff in the world. Thank you! I'm floored
