An excellent set for production. Rich tools, top plugins for processing. Just a delight!

Ravel Grand Piano
I have many piano virtual instruments. I was looking for something a bit different, but the Ravel piano falls a little short. The samples are good; however I especially don't like that you have to be connected to the internet and logged in to UA's site in order to use it. I prefer not to connect to the internet with my DAW unless I'm installing software. Had I known this I would not have purchased it. I can't say it really adds anything special to my VIs. I'm disappointed with UA's Ravel and this may make me less likely to purchase their software in the future.

Fantastic ,but owning the plugin isn't enough !
You need extra equipment for this plugin to work properly

Incredible Instrument
I've always played Victims by Culture Club.
No other piano has ever come close to that Classic Steinway Sound on that record .this is stunning on everything you play on it ,the depth of the bass gives me goosebumps.
Fantastic,absolutely love it

saved me a ton of money
I was about to buy a PPG Wave 2.0 or similar but the OPAL gets the sounds and vibe that i was looking for out of that particular synth. Great Addition to my arsenal of sound. It also includes some very well programmed presets that are usable in so many contexts. User interface workflow is also commendable on this instrument.

Super Happy
If you're doing ITB recording/mixing, this bundle should be a no-brainer for you. The instruments are phenomenal (Electra 88 being a particular standout for me) - all are musical, responsive, great user interfaces (attention to detail is awesome) and loaded with great presets. I could get lost in Opal, and of course the Minimoog delivers a beautifully authentic sound and feel. A few weeks in, I have barely scratched the surface of what the processing plugins can do, but loving the 1176 and LA2A collections for punch and presence, the Plate reverb is just gorgeous, and Oxide gives busses and mixes such a nice subtle glue. Using something like the Century channel strip also makes it a pleasure to mix with your ears instead of your eyes. I'm extremely happy with my purchase, the only negative thing I can say is I wish I'd had this bundle years ago. Well worth every cent. Kudos to the UA team for knocking it out of the park.

classic
if you want to strenghten up your tracks, give them body and punch, and make them really heard in your entire mix without touching your volume fader, this is what you need..
J. Telge
good analog sounding Synth
Like and use this one a lot. Yes, to be online its a little bit anoying, but for me at least its ok. I only work in my Studio.
D. Richer
Only native...
Super disappointing that there is only a Native version. It's an effect that should be available on Apollo.
J. Skjerven
Useless
In session. Client ask me for a rotary/leslie plugin. I remember this, but can't find it in my Apollo plugin list. I update with the new software to see if it's added. Spend 20 minutes on it, but there is no plugin. Find out that it is not for the Apollo. UA made another dick surge move. They want me to have two parallell system for the plugins and made this only native. Why? I am not going buy and download a separate plugin and separate software.

A creative weapon
It's definitely not a one-trick pony. It's also a great addition to your guitar or vocal tracks.

This Was A Major Surprise - The LA2 & Pultec Combo
I needed an affordable soundcard for some laptop work outside my main studio, so I opted for the UA Volt 1, the cheapest option available. That turned out to be a great purchase, well worth the price. Along with the soundcard, I received a bundle of free plugins, including the LA2. and the LA2A Gray and Silver compressors and the Pultec EQs. Over the years, I've accumulated numerous plugins, but I don't even install most of them anymore. For the past seven years, my go-to EQ has been Fabfilter, which is functional and does the job. For compression, I usually rely on Ableton's stock plugins simply because all my other comps are no better. I spent years searching for plugins with that elusive "mojo," and I had basically given up and made a decision I wasn't even going to bother downloading the bundle.
But one evening after using the soundcard for about two weeks I thought, OK I will check them out, expecting the usual underwhelming results. Plugins downloaded, fired up a session and to my major surprise, I found myself very quickly impressed. I started applying the LA2A compressors and Pultec EQs on various tracks and very quickly replaced all other comps and Eqs in the session with the LA2s and Pultecs. Just initiating the LA2's without adjusting anything seemed to hit the mark every time - and still does.. The EQ;s I was pushing to max and still track elements sounded good. However, I told my self its just my imagination, after all I've been here many times before and its probably just that placebo effect of thinking something sounds great and the next day I will know its just my imagination. But the next day the session still sounded good, and what I was hearing suspiciously sounded like Mojo. I was beginning to realise the plugins had genuinely helped me improve the sound. The mix had a vibe reminiscent of what I used to achieve with analog consoles, and the compressors added a cool, pumpy quality to the tracks. Even when over pumped, still sounded good - It was just more vibe.
But because years of reality hitting and the ultimate come down I was still thinking this newfound enthusiasm will wear off because that's what always happens. But, that's not what happened. I've continued to use the LA2A and Pultec plugins in every session since. I'm actually enjoying EQ'ing and compressing stuff - Imagine that!. Yes, I also hear that 3D thing others talks about in their reviews.. Coming from someone who had grown jaded with plugins over the years, believe me, this is a significant endorsement.
I don't know what magic the UAD coders have worked, but to me these plugins are very musical and have legit Mojo. And you know what's also great about them - no fancy flashy distracting Guis which force you to mix with eyes. Needless to say the coders have done a 10+ star job. I've never owned the original hardware, but have owned some emulations in the past and these plugins outshine others by all others I have tried or owned by a huge margin. The fact that I got them with a £100 soundcard, which also included a decent Plate Reverb, an Echo (not really my style), a channel strip, and a Synth, is incredible. But its the LA2A and Pultec plugins that are the true stars of the bundle though and its well worth picking up the Volt 1 just to get the plugins.. They are now my absolute and only go to EQ and Comps and only if I need to get very surgical will I fire up the Fab.

Oh Yeah!
This is great. Along with the other Moog plugins. You can take yourself to outer space and different dimensions with this thing, you can get all kinds of sounds from it. I love it, it's actually very addicting to play with.

Satisfied new user of UA plugins
Bought the Producer Edition bundle on sale and I am very satisfied having tested the various plugins included in bundle. They are all very useful and sound great. If you have a home studio and you need new plugins beyond those included in most DAW’s, this bundle will help in raising the quality of your projects. The bundle is really a no brainer, especially on sale.

Fell in love with these sounds
Every plugin in this edition is enspiring. All the sounds generated are rich and full of life. My favorite is Electra 88. Incredible sounds. Game Changer!
