I Am A Believer!
I've used quite a few LA-2A's in my day and I was super skeptical when purchasing this plugin.... It didn't take long before i saw its core power! This compressor became my permanent compressor for my vocal chain when tracking/mixing in the box. Male, Female, low voice, a high nasally voice, it doesn't matter! UA made the compressors like virtual tanks!( And not a DSP hog like other units are.) *thumbs up* , Cheers!

Excellent compressors for any application
Wow, these 1176 that come equipped in the Classic Limiter Plugin Bundle live up to all the hype. I have used a ton of Universal Audio and love both hardware and software versions. Whether is tracking/mixing (or both with the Apollo) vocals, a snare top, or an acoustic guitar this compressor can handle the workload and sounds almost identically to using the hardware version. UA did a get an excellent job! Definitely one of my go-to compressors when mixing in the box. Cheers!

perfect addition to Ampex
After working with UAD Ampex (which is in EVERY of my mixes - mostly on the stereo bus) i've fetched the Studer to my toolchain and are happy again - while the Ampex felivers a more subtle, but more "broad" affecting enhancement on nearly any stereo/mix bus the Studer seems to packing more heavily onto tracks, making it ideal for individual tracks to me. Compared to i.e. WAVES Kramer Master Tape it sound's a hearable step more higher / forward. This is an addicting tool which you will buy if you hear it - even. with the presets. As a next step i'll try to experiment with it as a sound design tool and investigate i.e. delaying / modulation "tricks" with it. From my view this (both) are just the best tape emus for mixing and mastering.

Sounds like a real tape machine!
This emulates tape so well! thats all that needs to be said. I can choose different types of tape, and I can change th IPS. That's all I need. It's great.

Sounds great!!!
I have the actual LA-2A at the studio I work at, and I have to say I am surprised how well this emulates the real deal. The only difference is the hardware adds more low end. That's all I noticed. I don't even care about that minor difference. Great plugin for vocals.
B. Miranda
Sounds like API
I bought this thing specifically for tracking. The preamp sounds so great. It has that nice low end and high end increase API is known for. It does not warm the sound at all which is why I love it. I like my signal clear as much as possible. The gate is the best gate I've ever used. The EQ sounds great, but I typically don't use it for mixing. I need to use the compressor more. It's defjnitely not my go to compressor but it's nice to have. The great thing about this plugin is that there are many controls. Love it!!

Great on everything
The bluestripe sounds great on snare and toms if I drive it hard enough. I always try to get that big snare sound. Each has their own subtle characteristics. You can't go wrong with this price. You get 3 different flavors.

So simple and so powerful
Load it and the job is done.

The real deal!!
After eons of home recording finally spent the bread and found a reverb that is present and clear in the mix without muddiness even at high levels.I auditioned others but felt that this Lexicon had that unquantifiable edge where others failed.This is a must have plugin ,I use it somewhere on every single project.Go get it!!!!

Great compressors!
Just brought them, but mutch to late I do realise now. Works good for drums and vocals.

Worth updating
I take advantage of a promotion and update the stock LA-2A to this collection and it's worth every penny. Each version has his own character and they sound amazing.

Great channel strip
This is simply an easy to use great sounding channel strip. I think my favourite part of it would be the preamp which is very clean and aggressive but has a slight analogue warmth to it. It just sounds fantastic.
On top of that there's a very good compressor as well as one of the better gates I've come across. The EQ section is not my favourite, but it does the job. The 2db steps can be a bit too much sometimes.
A big plus is that you can turn off the sections you don't use to save DSP. For some reason you can't turn off the preamp however.
I had to choose between this and the 1073 because I couldn't afford both. I chose the 1073 because it had more character and nicer EQ. But I will get this one as soon as I can afford it.

Great Emulation of A Classic
Back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, I had the pleasure of experiencing the real deal 224 XL. This plug brings back memories of the lushness of Lexicon classics. Like the hardware, you have to work it and I would say that this is not the reverb to use if you're looking for easy ambient realism per se. This is an impressionistic reverb with a fingerprint. The included presets are great starting points but it's important to dig in and learn the unit. That's why I give it 4 stars. My experience with the HW was an artist so I never learned the in's and out's of its operation but I'm learning it now and love it. I wouldn't make this my only reverb but it's a must-have for your sonic arsenal.
UAudio does it again! Thanks.

Presence and clarity
There is a very clear sense in this reverb.
And I feel the dense depth.
Really, really, nice.
A. Faur
This and la2a are the best emulations you can find.
For me the best emulations to date.
S. Cohen
So Good
Such an upgrade from the legacy version. Silky. Smooth. Shockingly close to the original in sound.

Essential
Always loved the 1176 sounds that I heard in the studio I worked in. Being able to dial in key sounds (especially with the AE) has been essential to enhancing the sound of my personal studio and has for sure taken my mixes to a higher level.
