great!
Never owned any UAD plugins before they went native. Now that I finally have got my hands on some of their plugins, I am very impressed!

UAD这些东西确实不错
Universal Audio确实是一家好公司，做的东西也很好，就是价格有点贵。我很喜欢贵公司的plug-in，but就是太贵。我是native的使用顾客，个人感觉，使用起来feel so good，大致符合我对声音的期待。综上所述，东西很好，就是贵

Great leveling amp.
Had a couple of mixes that sounded good but was just missing something. Ran mixes with the LA-2A leveling amp and boom problem solved.

Essential Magic for Your Mix
The UAD Essentials Edition is a game-changer for anyone serious about audio production. This bundle of analog emulations by Universal Audio brings timeless warmth and character to your mixes. The user-friendly interface and versatile plugins make it easy to achieve professional-grade results in any genre. What's truly impressive is the low DSP usage, ensuring a smooth workflow on Universal Audio's Apollo interfaces. In summary, the UAD Essentials Edition is a must-have for those seeking authentic analog sound without compromise. Just a little frustrated that there isn't a 1176 in this pack rather than 3 LA2As .

Great plugins but…
I’m still undecided. Whilst I adore the speed, functionality, sound and overall performance of the extensive set of plugins I just purchased, I am currently and still (30 hours?) awaiting reply from help desk regarding a mistaken purchase. I understand it is a holiday time for some in the world but most went back to business yesterday. Perhaps better care in digital advertising would prevent my current conundrum as I have no use for or interest in using Lena yet it seems one of my plugins won’t function without it, a fact only found through clicking on the Learn More icon (I didn’t as it was one of multiple I purchased).

Great sound, beware fatal flaws:
The synth sounds great and is highly intuitive. I wish it had a HPF but otherwise it's great. Two major flaws, particularly for live use:
1. You have to license this via a physical iLok or have an internet connection. Ridiculous! It will not work otherwise, rendering it too risky if not completely useless for live applications. Please please UA, allow it to be licensed to the physical computer like just about every other plugin I use with iLok manager.
2. MIDI CCs are hard-coded into the plugin, so if you build a sound you're proud of, don't wiggle any knobs on any gear you have plugged in, because it can easily be ruined. Again, the risk here for live is insane. I had to use a Max4Live plugin to block all CCs to avoid ruining my sounds on the gig. Now I have to go rebuild them in a different VST having learned this...
So sadly it's just not all that useful unless you're super careful to print your sounds or turn off monitoring on the track.

Perfect. And beautiful.

Analog Warmth
I haven't experienced using the real hardware, but this plugin really gives the exact taste of what I want. So warm and smooth.

Everything download fine. Same for ilok. The plugins appeared on my desktop and in the cloud. There are 7 licenses but none of them are "Active". I've spent days doing everything UA suggests but am having know results. I am surprised that a company like yours who've been around for decades has no online PERSONAL support!!
The plugins I bought should not be that hard to put in. I've been recording for 40yrs and this has never happened with any other company. As of today, the plugins I purchased are useless. I would certainly appreciate it if someone would contact be to help me out.

Great device but needs some tweeks
I’ve had several (now obsolete) hardware interfaces and needed a current device. Not being a “professional” I didn’t want to spend top dollar. The Volr 2 seemed to be a good fit. It works as expected with great audio quality. The vintage mic filter gives an added (bonus) dimension to my vocal inputs.
I like that it is powered, but why on earth they supply a USB power cable makes no sense. Why not include a data cable?!
The construction is solid but the controls are a bit small and difficult to use. Also the meters are partially hidden by the cover when setting flat on the desk. The 276 has the control surface on the top and this configuration would greatly improve the Volt 2 usability.
All said and done I am very pleased with the value Volt 2 provides my setup.
