All You Need
I use the Channel Strip for Electronic Music and Vocals. If I want to add some fundemantal and precise frequencies which bring my Kick Drum to the Point Where it belongs: The API is it. If I want to add presence and clearance to my Vocals: this is it. If the transients of my Snare need some snappy but easily controllable compression: This is it. If I want to Cut some unwanted decays or Noise from any sound: The fantastic Gate is it. I dont Know the Hardware but I dont have to because this Channel strip blows all Plugs I know simply away. It is transparent, precise and can add distortion that I dont want to miss anymore. Dont try it... BUY IT!!!!!!

Very autenticitet
Very nice channelstrip. It sounds very good on drums pianos and synthesizers. The EQ is very sweet and musical but not very subtle. The compressor kan be very clear sounding and also quite aggressive and punchy. I use the channelstrip on most things that needs to be clear and fast and clean - without being boring. I love the EQ on my analog synthesizers. It gives them a more modern sound. I have mixed on Real API consoles and it has the same vibe as the original. Especially the EQ and preamp. Love it. The only disadvantage is that it is quite DSP intensive.

Sounds great
3 great compressors.... Each with a little some special.
M. Fix
extremely versatile
this has become my 'go-to' channel strip. Instant character just by cranking up the gain. Ive been using it on just about everything, & haven't been disappointed. Some cool presets to get you started, too.
Highly recommended

API Vision channel strip is killer
I really like this plug-in a lot. I've gotten lost for hours just plugging my guitar directly into the Twin instrument input (taking advantage of the Unison technology), pushing the API gain, compressing just a bit, then running it through the EMI 150. You might disregard my reviews since they've all been "5", but I'm just very impressed by the quality of these plugs!

Next level
Absolutely awesome - the 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection reach the next level ! Highly recommended!

Lush, lexicon reverb in your studio
The Lexicon 224 plugin is a rich, high-quality reverb with lots of possibilities. It's fun just to play with the faders/parameters to get some nice sonic, ambient textures. My experience with an actual Lexicon 224 is limited so I can't say it's dead-on with any authority, but this reverb is excellent regardless of authenticity.

Superb compression
I love the LA-2A's. They sound amazing on vocals and horns, and one of my favorite things to do is run the Silver and Grey models in series for extra color and even more gourmet leveling possibilities!

Pultec Passive EQ Collection
I'm finding these plugins to work very well. It's easy to dial in tonality. I now use them on almost everything. Bass, acoustic and electric guitars and even drum sounds benefit form this fabulous modeling. Highly recommended.

Good Stuff :)

like it
great. better than the first generation. I know its not true to the hardware having a bypass / output volume control but this makes it much more functional and quick to A/B (EQP-1A). The Low boost and Attenuation seem to have a smoother effect through their range as well. 90% of the time I use the EQP-1A though the MEQ-5 and HLF-3C are sweet sounding as well. Presets actually very useful to learn some new tricks.

Cant compare but i like this sound
I cant compare 1:1 to the original sound of the Reverb, but i like this sound very much.
it is a very musical reverb!!!
G. Pernet
super!
Had the legacy version since the early days of the UAD, but this revamped version sounds a lot clearer and more open.. No Brainer!

Perfect channel strip for me
I've never had the pleasure of using a real API board, but for what I do, this plug-in channel strip does all that I need it to. I've demoed the Neve 88 and SSL channel strips from UA and while they are nice, I prefer the API sound. I can't wait to see UA release MKII versions of both of them. The compressor has a nice grab to it that has worked well on any instrument I've thrown at it. Haven't had an opportunity to use the gate yet so I can't comment on that yet.

"My Go-To" Vocal Compressor
Previously using Logic Pro 9 native plugs to compress my vocals, I would often have to work very hard to employ serial or parallel compression techniques, fiddling with the settings until I could get my vocal to sound good on its own, let alone within the mix. The LA-2A plug's simple settings and distinct and sought after "coloration" allows me to spend more time focusing mix overall, rather than fussing over the vocals. Use the LA-2A when you need your compression to be "transparent" with a just a little added warmth.

1176 Classic Limiter Collection
These take the grapes and squash them into the finest wine.
P. Charell
LA-2A Collection
Love these!!! Especially the LA-2 and the warmth you get just by putting it in the chain.

EQ as it Should Sound
Like the original hardware, it is very difficult to get a bad sound out of these no matter how much boosting or cutting you seem to be doing. Between the EQP-1a and the MEQ-5 you can cover a surprising amount of ground. Even given the limited frequency notches, I don't find myself wishing I had more selections. Aside from how well these modules do as an EQ, the vibe you get from just putting this in your signal chain is great. Super rich and fat. Whether I'm using any EQ or not, the EQP-1 or the MEQ-5 will always be on my master buss just for the warmth.
