Great sound & character!
Great sound and character, for classic tape slap or crazy fx. Also nice to overdrive the input

Saturation = Secret Sauce
Sometimes you want warmth, sometimes you want that something "extra". This is it. Tape saturation gives you so much and sounds amazing on guitar, bass, vocals, drums...EVERYTHING.

Awesome!
I love this especially in console for my Hi-Z guitar input. Allows me to easily practice guitar with a pleasing tone without even opening my DAW!

Great sounding tape emulation but...
This is a great sounding plugin - only wish the native version had the gang control - I'm not sure I would have bought had I realized this very handy control was missing,

I like but don't love this one
Why I don't love it: I also own McDSP analog plugin. The McDSP is way fatter than the UAD. Like monumentally fatter! It can almost get too fat at times. So you have to be careful.
You don't have to be careful with UAD Studer A800. At least not too much. However it can be extremely subtle almost too subtle. When you try to drive it it distorts. McDSP doesn't really do that. All in all a really good plug-in though.

It's good not great
I LOVE a good delay and the more words it gets the more I love it. I'm all fairness, in part I am reviewing the unit itself as well as UAD profile of the unit.
As far as the unit itself (software), it's limiting. There aren't as many tonal options as I had hoped for. THIS HAS NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH UAD , But I felt important to share that point. I have used a Binson in the past, so I know what it is supposed to sound like and given that I will say that UAD did a great job with emulating it.
I do wish UAD would add functionalities that are not available on the original units. This goes for any plugin. They are great for one-to-one recreations. Maybe the best at doing that! It would be nice to have more options such as longer delays morphing etc.
This is just me, I don't speak for everyone I realize that.
I personally felt it important to point out.
With that said another great creation by UAD!

THE Coolest Reverb Plug-In My System's Ever Seen!
I own a small studio, and just finished recording a client's solo acoustic album using Hitsville on all voices and instruments. This plug-in gave me by far the best reverb I have ever worked with. Every channel is clean and natural sounding, and the plug-in is very responsive and flexible. Your team did a fantastic job modeling those attic spaces & the gear used, thank you!

Really cool.
It’s really subtle. Nothing too extreme goes on in this plug in so you don’t get too lost in tweaks. I like that, it adds what you need or subtracts and you will be able to improve on the source signal in a very nice understated yet effective way.

Use on many channels will be my new standard

Amazing Sound Quality
I have so many plugins, mostly bought as collections. I wondered, as always, do I really need more? I already had some LA-2A plugins by other vendors, and they have been my gotos for a long time. So why would I want another one? But because it was Universal Audio, I thought I would take a look at the demo version. Tried it out on a couple of tracks and within minutes, clicked the BUY button. The sound was just so impressive, I knew I had to have it. Awesome work UA :)

My Experience With UAD Mix/Diamond Edition
The UAD Diamond Edition is a game-changer for anyone in the music industry. It opens up a world of timeless analog sound, giving my music that professional punch and character I've always wanted. The collection of native plug-ins is impressive, with perfect emulations of classic studio gear and instruments.
The UAD Compressors are fantastic, each with its unique personality and tone. The Teletronix LA-2A Collection adds warmth and smoothness to my vocals, while the UA 1176 Collection injects energy into my drums and guitars. The API 2500 Bus Compressor brings that unmistakable API impact to my entire mix.
With the UAD Channel Strips, EQ & Tape plug-ins, I get that classic analog feel and presence in my tracks. The API Vision Channel Strip quickly sculpts my tracks with genuine API presence and punch. The Pultec Passive EQ Collection is a must-have for silky vocals and fat bass. And the Oxide Tape Recorder gives my music that magical warmth of analog tape.
The UAD Reverbs, Delays & Modulation plug-ins are just as impressive. The Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb adds ambience and spatial effects, while the Hitsville Reverb Chambers capture that iconic Motown sound. The Brigade Chorus and Studio D Chorus add retro sonic flavors, and the Galaxy Tape Echo brings lush tape delays.
The UAD Instruments are top-notch as well. The Moog Minimoog emulation is spot-on for classic analog synth sounds. The PolyMAX Synth offers rich analog character and retro vibes. The Opal Morphing Synth allows me to create larger-than-life sounds effortlessly. The Ravel Grand Piano is so expressive and realistic, and the Waterfall B3 gives me that iconic Hammond B3 organ sound.
In summary, the UAD Diamond Edition is a must-have for producers, engineers, and musicians like me. The timeless analog sound and stunning emulations make it an essential tool for taking my music to the next level. Whether I need warmth, character, or depth, the UAD Diamond Edition delivers, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Outstanding compressor collection!
The UAD Mix edition undoubtedly has probably the very best emulations of the classic compressors on the market; 1176, LA-2A and API 2500. To this a very good channel strip from API, a top-of-the-line emulation of Pultec, Studer 800, Lexicon 224 and a convincing EMT 140 clone. Although it is not cheap to be at the top. I bought mine when it was on sale, and then it was clearly worth it.
Galaxy (Roland space echo) and Waterfall rotary (a Leslie rotating) have several rivals if you were to buy them separately. Now they go along with the deal, so to speak.
Very good that they ported the old UAD-2 plugs to a new format with a better GUI and more possibilities. Unfortunately, the SHARCs do not hold the standard for long with increasingly better processors in today's computers.
So if you really need and want the ultimate analog feeling, the package is a clear five stars, especially on sale. Otherwise, it might be a bit on the expensive side.

Apollo’s
Just bought my Apollo interface so I can’t comment . But all I can say is that UAD products are so good
