UA BEST PLUGIN
Please go for it. Best compressor out there, to me, best plugin from Universal Audio.

Nice Plate Reverb!
Very Nice Reverb! Gives the vocals a smooth vibe and a decent Touch! I use it as send effect and it always gets its Job done!!

PolyMax synth
Verder good sounding plugin!

Great for keys and 70's vibe
I slept on this for a long time, as I prefer the Echoplex or Ampex for a more 60s sound. The Galaxy however shines on keys and synths! Really full and warm textures and really true to the sound of the original units (which I both owned and used extensively). The best RE201 emulation out there, period.

Pretty Good Experience
This plugIn synth has great presets and tweaking them is intuitively, straightforward and lots of fun with cool results and very good sound.
When fader settings hit threshold, a small yellow light turns on - makes it very simple to find sweet spots!
Testing spark at the moment

Amazing Modern/Retro Synth
It has everything from big fat 80s sounds to new modern pop synth sounds. Lots of great presets for an almost endless stream of inspiration. Golden Warm Analog Goodness!

Finally updated from the legacy!
Loving it but why did they remove the old all-in-one legacy plugin called "pro"? I like the freedom of using them all in one slot, I don't get it..

Easy To Listen To
Easy to use, great presets and very easy to listen to.

Great surprise
When I buy I don’t exactly what situation I can use this toy but in fact I use more and more and on voice bus and everything in fact … just a touch of analog .. so sweat

Zseniális!
Kötelező darab!
R. Vidal
Sensational
He is sensational and very clear in the purity of the delay.
A. Resuli
Sweet spot is not easy to dial in
I think this can produce a good colour as a comp, but I also found finding that perfect balance to be quite tedious and lots of dialing In. Once you get it, it’s great, just a little too much time to get there though.
A. Resuli
Not the must lush reverb
At this price point, and from UA, I was expecting a little more clarity. It sounds nice, but both the UA name and the $149 price tag doesn’t feel aligned. Far cheaper verbs out there with a better plate sound.

PUNCH WARM BRIGHTNESS GOOD SOUND

A bit surprised: warmth.
I have Ampex and Studer plugin already. This one - Oxide - is the first one I really hear, feel, something happens just inserted on a chanel. I didn't expect that at all. and what I hear is good. I will tweak this thing to see if I am just imagening...

Such a vibe
Such a killer delay/reverb for adding depth AND sonic character. It's really fun to play with, and when driven, sounds remarkably close to a proper tape delay, without the maintenance. Only giving 4 stars as you can't manually adjust the delay time beyond fixed parameters, such as 1/4 or 1/8, or variations of around 100 milliseconds on fixed times from the original unit. I think sometimes UAD shoot themselves in the foot by not adding extra features which everyone would have gladly had on the original hardware and are easy as pie to add to the plugin. But for fixed times and even as a stand alone reverb, this is a fantastic plugin, hands down.

Awesome analog-style synth that's not a model of something that already exists.
I love the fact that UA is creating synths from scratch. PolyMAX is a great addition to the toolkit with a warm, vintage vibe reminiscent of classic analog synths from the 80's. The UI is great and is easy to navigate. Looking forward to more new creations from UA. Keep an eye out for a new preset pack for this one and also be sure to check out "SYMBOLS - The Lost Preset Pack for OPAL" on killerpresets.com .
