Very Versatile
After getting this plugin and trying it out on various things, I've found it to be useful for just about everything! With a gain dial, gate, compressor and EQ, this plugin is a perfect place to start for all of your mixes. Use it a the top of your channel strips to quickly dial in great EQs and get a nice console sound on your whole track. Highly recommended plugin

Very similar to the truth, the treatments work well in the mix, Five stars

Just has 'that' sound.
After owning the LA2A Legacy version I was putting off getting the updated version but the newer versions knock the legacy version out the water completely. Different league of plugin. The LA2A just has that positive effect that when you stick it on a vocal it just works. Only problem is now I need more DSP power...

analog tape fatness!!
This plugin is amazing. I produce hip hop music and this plugin gives my music the grit & fatness of 90's hip hop. Its not to get that sound while mixing in the box but this plugin solves the problem. Its killer on samples, drums, and vocals. It makes drums sound more punchy and adds character on vocals. On the stereo bus it rounds off the top end in a very pleasant way that brings fullness to master. It definitely controls the brittleness thats associated with digital audio. It really smooths everything out. If you guys are familiar with Dr Dre and the Chronic record, this plugin will definitely help to achieve the sonic flavor of that album. This plugin deserves 10 stars!!! Great job UAD

Drums, Drums, Drums
Love it on Drums, it's also nice to have 4/5 of these running across individual drum hits.
Thanks UA.

The Vocals Comp
The la2a is the vocals compressor to have, work great on guitar and more, a must have. Get it now.

My standard EQ for years now
Can just do wonders to the low and top ends where most of the problems are. Really smooth. I use it in combination with a Neve 1081 (this provides the bite and presence).

Has become my standard reverb
Use it for tracking (in my Apollo) and then logically it stays in the mix also. Good for vocals especially I think. Using less and less my Lexicon native reverbs. Prefer it over the EMT140 too.

Amazing Channel Strip!
Lovely sound. Very different to the Neve sound, but I use them together all the time. I use these when I'm on the road and I don't want to drag my API's with me.

Must Own This Plugin!
I shied away from this plugin in the beginning because of the price tag. Once you use it, you'll not want to mix without it. It's that good. I use it on my busses. All of their tape plugins are fantastic. I use the Ampex on the master buss, and I'll use Oxide on individual tracks.

Great channel strip
To me API is synonymous with punch, and this plugin perfectly captures the API DNA. The gate/expander in conjunction with the compressor/limiter is the perfect recipe to give punch to lifeless drums and other material. The EQ is also very musical and allows me to sculpt the sound in ways I desire.
N. Dayan
Perfect companion to the Studer and Ampex
Although I own both the Studer and the Ampex as well, the Oxide is brilliant for instant tape saturation with minimal tweaking of parameters. Just dial in the input and output for quick and easy harmonic distortion. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the plugin though, it uses as much DSP as the Studer.

The sound of analog tape
Really helps to recreate the sound of analog tape when slapped on many different channels of a mix. It gives a nice tape saturation just by engaging the plugin and allows for creative effects when cranked to more extreme settings. Subtle but smooths out the top end and adds weight to bottom end.

Great update from UAD
This latest version of the 1176 collection is one of the best i've heard. The blue stripe is my go-to for vocals. Helping them sit right up front in the mix. Awesome work yet again Universal Audio.

Great love the real tape sound that it gives to a track, the ability to work in the digital world with a warm analog sound...the best

WOW!!! Better than the Neve Channel Strip
I was very interested in the Neve Channel Strip but quickly turned to the API Vision when I realized the Neve was such a DSP hog. With the Apollo 16, I can run 16 instances of this API Vision plugin. That's exactly what I wanted to do. I actually use the Slate Virtual Microphone, but instead of using their supplied plugin, I've been using this and the sound possibilities are amazing. The versatility is amazing, the EQ, compressor is great. The Preamp section is amazing and loaded with character. You couldn't really mess up sound with the Neve EQ. It was too musical. This channel strip is all the doctor ordered. Try it out.

UAD do it again
amazing
T. Wallace
NICE!!
I demoed the studer twice just to make sure this product was adding something to my mix, and not just a waste of money. I must say after playing with it for a few days its pretty cool. I think its a nice addition to my plugin family. Thanks UA
G. Suarez
Nice pedal addition
It's a good pedal to have to have. Using it wisely can make certain guitar parts amazing. I feel that it takes time to fully explore the potential of its possibilities. Definitely demo it to see if it's what you are looking for. I am glad to have it on my arsenal.
