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.

The one to beat.
As of this writing, this is the software synth to beat. It has Incredible sound and amazing presets. It has become my starter synth for inspiration and brainstorming. Perfect for those new to synths as well as seasoned players.

Great sound, lacking additional features
This is the best-sounding Minimoog emulation I've tried.
However, it lacks some of the QoL features that are present in other brand's emulations, like an arp for example.
If you intend to use it as a real Minimoog, then it's awesome.

Sounds bad
I was expecting more from this piano since Electra 88 sounds awesome.
However, I'm hugely disappointed. Even with no reverb and with close mics, it sounds like it's recorded in a large bathroom. Has no intimacy/warmth in the sound, it sounds thin.
You can make it work with some eq'ing but why is the hassle, just use ANY other library.
Unfortunately, this is the worst-sounding paid piano library I have ever heard.

This the Rhodes you're looking for
This is the best EP I have ever heard for this price range. It's much better than the other brands and also on par with Keyscape. This is far cheaper than Keyscape though (while on sale), I can't recommend it enough.
