Great sounding instrument.

The Ultimate Hammond B3!
I’ve been using this Waterfall Hammond B3 plug-in on all types of tracks… and it’s just so great, how you can use the waterfall speaker effect, or not, and otherwise have a traditional B3 sound… and really, just about any type of B3 style that you may want. There may be other B3 Organ emulations that can do more… I wouldn’t know, because I’ve been so satisfied with this one…while the quality and range of this emulation is absolutely incredible. The sound quality, like all UAD plugins, is absolutely superb. Highly recommended, say the very least! Not only that, but on some of the songs that I’ve used it on… almost every time people have commented on the organ sound. No joke. It’s that well done, and authentic, that it just jumps out, and listeners remark about it, over and over again. That’s really saying something. I don’t know if I’ve ever had that happen with any other plug-in or emulation.

Best vintage gear plugin for producers
After using lots of plugins from other brand, this Producer Edition is my first step into UAD circles, the authentic vintage emulation has save me lots of time browsing plugins and finding what vintage gear plugins that suit my mixes. No brainier for sure, fast & accurate. Treat these plugins as they were the real deal, but portable & affordable.

I like to see this VI develop more
I would like to see UA improve the Waterfall rotary speed midi options. I am used to Air's DB-33 organ, where it is easy to assign the rotary speed (slow / brake / fast) to an expression pedal, so you can play with both hands and change speed with your foot (left in my case). UA defaults to the rotary speed being controlled by the Mod wheel (so you have to take your left hand off the keys to modify it), or you can assign it to the sustain pedal but then it only switches between fast and slow. No "Brake".
Another thing is some people complain is about harshness in the upper frequencies. I notice that as well when the Vibrato is on, or when some of the upper drawer bars are full extended. I compared it to the DB-33 and where the Waterfall is sometimes harsh in the upper frequencies, the DB-33 is also harsh in the lower frequencies.
When it comes to the Leslie, however, the UA Leslie is far superior.
So I like this instrument very much and with little effort, it can be made to sound superior to the DB-33, but the lack of expression control for the rotary speed is a downfall that I bet would be issue to fix.
Also, so many people want plugins ported to Spark. I'm the opposite - I would love to be able to stack the Waterfall Leslie in Console, after a Unison amp plug-in, but that's not in the cards right now. Sure, I could add the Leslie in PT but then I am working with latency issues which is what Apollo handles so well. Native stinks when its the only option. We have paid a tiny fortune for these DSPs and I would like to use them to their max.

Very realistic- It sounds sweet with everything
I am an Organist/Guitarist and I actually own a real Leslie. But of course you need a good sounding Room and several Microphones to capture it's magic, so I was looking for an alternative that is easier to set up, and most importantly, that can be played quietly with Headphones.
The moment I tried the Demo I was completely immersed. The mechanical Noise is spot on and I actually turned around to hear if my actual Leslie wasn't spinning in it's corner. A big plus for me is that it doesn't have a complicated Interface. Many Plugins of that sort let you change the position/angle and whatever of the microphones, as well as 1000s of parameters and I always end up tweaking myself to death. With this one, there are several distinctive presets to choose from, and that's it. Enough variety for different situations, but it's not overdone. And just like the real deal, it sounds good with EVERYTHING. Grand Piano, Rhodes, Mellotron, Guitar, Bass, you name it.
My only criticism is the price. I find the regular price a bit steep to be honest. But as there are several sales over the year, one can grab it at a discounted price anyway.
I strongly recommend it- especially for Hardware Guys who don't want to tweak endlessly.

En mi cadena de vocales trabajo la compresión en serie, siendo el 1176 el primero de dicha serie. (El segundo es el Teletronix LA-2A). Utilizo el modo "Bluey" por su excelente desempeño.

El Teletronix LA-2A es mi segundo en serie en la cadena de vocales (El primero es el 1176). Utilizo el modo "Silver" porque me brinda una calidez increíble y combinado con el 1176 me permite controlar los picos mientras suavizo la dinámica general.
Tanto el 1176 como este LA-2A, los utilizo de como plugins nativos. Estoy ansioso de que saquen pronto los EQs API en versión nativa, porque de momento debo usar los de otra compañía.
