LA-2A Collection
Haven't heard anything with this much analogue mojo in a compressor before. The UA plugs just keep getting batter.
A. Souza
Amazing!! Sweet!!!
The most amazing plugin ever!!! Make my tracks sweet!! Acustic guitars, voice and more.
J. Grefsrud
Awesome
This plugin is so good I'd like to use it on every channel! But the multi-unit Apollo-software is so buggy that I can't..
Hoping to be able to use it more after UAD 7.2.

Excellent
Finding its way on to more and more of my tracks. What can I say about this that hasn't been said before ?

Magical
This collection is super legit. From soft to heavy compression and everything in between, you need these in your mixing repertoire. My first instance of "wow" was using the Silver on a lead guitar. I was just fighting to get the lead to sit right and I pulled my entire chain a part and started over. Removed the outboard Distressor (which is super rare to do that) and the lead just sat well in the box. No EQ, just the Silver. I went back and carved the EQ a bit and it was polished like a gem.
Highly recommend.

Options Galore
This was the first purchase post Octo purchase for me. I was immediately in love with the compression versatility and options this bundle brings to the table. My first mix implementing these guys was much tighter than I can ever recall with other products. I'm very excited to have the UAD products in my tool belt and I'm really excited to hear the mixes I've always wanted to hear, moving forward.

Best Yet!
I have so far been unable to find a digital reverb that didn't sound digital. Then I demoed the 422.
I have been fortunate enough to have used the 224 and 422 in the past. This is it. Again UAD gives us as close to the real deal as is possible. After a couple minor tweaks to fit the flavoe of each song, It just sits in the mix. It will be on every mix for a long time. Many thanks UAD!!

best plugin to emulate distortion on compressors
I have tried loads of plugins, and although they can get pretty close like the waves version, once you start ramping up the gain, nothing comes close. To me this is what makes these character compressors so good to work with, you can use it almost like a reverb to get a certain spacial air to your program material, like drums or vocals, and this plug in delivers in spades! The price is amazing for what it can do.

LA-2A heaven
I already had the original UAD-2 LA-2A that came bundled with the Apollo, and never considered the merit in buying it again as the new Classic Leveller Collection.
So glad that I ended up getting it though. Completely different beast.
UA has outdone itself this time and I feel they've perfected this classic box at long last, and while they were at it, they modelled three classic versions of this DREAM box for audio pros in the know.
I just used these for the first time on a session this week, on lead vocals, guitar, and even bass in the final mix, and that same track for Gold Record artist Noel Parlane is now already playing on air in Ireland, Germany and New Zealand and getting great responses from Radio officials.
That says it all.

The holly "Three"
After purchased the LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection, I spent many hours trying to find which one sounds better. The point? Each one has its own magic depending on the usage. For example on different singers I found that I had better results with different revisions of LA-2A. Is it complicated? No. It's creative! Amazing colors, amazing compression.Highly recommended!

A little effort and you're in analog heaven!
While at a session in L.A. last week, the band and I over the songs a few times as the engineer was getting tones and recording them to Pro Tools (sounded fine). Then we tracked the keepers onto a 2" Studer machine. I couldn't stop grinning after hearing my kit played back through that deck (it's been so long, I'd forgotten what tape does for drums). When I got home I started the A800 demo, tracked some drums and right there in front of me was that sound. Subtle on the overheads (like they were EQ'd - with really awesome EQ), more pronounced on kick & snare (the body of the drums were pulled forward, whereas it was mostly attack before). The price kept me from trying this out before. Don't be stupid like me, buy this. I finally did.

How many LA2's do you need?
My inclination was to skip this since I already had the stock LA2. Why do I need more versions of a compressor I've already got. Then of course with the 14 day trial I decided to experiment. Throwing the Gray faced on a kick I recorded for a punk band and changing the emphasis control was all I needed to convince me it was worth the money. That control alone is worth the price for me.
I put the LA2 on everything low end and the emphasis control is now a necessity and the stock LA2 gets very little use.

Very nice indeed
Look, Feel and Sound ! the GUI just takes you in with all the quirks of the real thing. its elegant across the board. Much better than waves with color options and cpu power. Just get it and stop thinking about it.
M. Linda
Great
Great on vocals, great on bass. Really major step from the old UAD L2-2A plugin.
R. Lebbos
Very good product
Amazing emulation !! I have 2 distressor, a Hardware LA-2A and still the Rev A is most of the time the best choice for vocals.
I love it, as much as I love the A800 studer, the EMT 140 and the massive passive.
M. Arias
Buenísimo...
With 1176 now with three 1176 this is great sound and versatility is these is indecripotibe
M. Arias
Excellent
It is a great improvement compared with the previous LA-2A
a character and stuck espelusnate :)

a fantastic collection of compressor plugins
Now I know, where true analog sound comes from...the transformers and the distortion of the Rev E. I heard, that some engineers put the "E" into the master bus without compressing and that´s what I do, too.

Une grande ouverture
J'ai eu l'occasion de tester les simulateurs de bandes la première fois dans la collection wave. Je suis depuis resté plutôt sceptique sur la question, cette chose en plus qui apparait et sur laquelle on se pose beaucoup de questions 15 minutes plus tard et que finalement on enlève très vite. Pour le coup cette version du A800 est particulièrement étonnante car elle ouvre sur tous les paramètres existant sur l'original avec une réelle palette de textures, une finesse qui va bien au delà d'un simple boost des bas et des médiums arrondis pour donner l'aspect "tape". Je n'ai pas encore évidemment eu le temps de faire le tour de cette outil mais il m'apparait déjà comme terriblement excitant et créatif.

One of the best compressor
According to me, these plugins are one of the best products of Universal Audio. The renew of the legendary 1176 is really a succes and we really ear the difference with the original one, especially when you push the saturation. A lot of dynamic and character.
