about CPU issues (I do not have any at all) and easy solutions
Wondering why this wonderful plugin got only 4 stars on average, which leaves the plugin to one of the worst ratings among the 5 star ratings of other UAD plugins, I found some reviews that complain about CPU issues with this plugin. One even recommends not to buy it. This is sad, because for me it belongs to the top 3 UAD plugins. I tested it and I was able to run multiple instances of the plugins with my MacBook with only 8 GB RAM. Even my old PC (nearly 20 years old) can handle an instance easily.
Therefore I suggest an easy solution. But before that try to exclude wrong system settings. Always mix with a high latency. I select the highest possible. That is 1028 in Logic and 2056 in Cubase. In Cubase you can run it with nearly 20 year old windows computers. I would not call that an up to date or decent system. Still this plugin is running fine on that.
If that does not help then use it as you would use a studio. Put it on the insert of the track, commit to a setting, and export the track.
This plugin can make tracks sound so amazing and real that I would not want to miss it even on computer from the Stone Age. Like my old PC.
enjoy this plugin and don't let anything get you frustrated.

wheels falling off
Sounds great. But what's the point when I can hardly run on instance without it cracking up. lowered buffer ect. running one track, a dry drummer loop in logic just testing it out. I thought it was both uad and native..why ! ?

Does the job
Bought this to replace my stock plug in for my master chain. Makes a world of difference. So clean too. Can’t say more other than top of the line.

VOX and Master
This plugin just shapes your vocals perfectly. However, try putting it on your masterbus....wow !

I have to admit I was impressed!
I did not like the demos as this compressor came out so I did not try this one out until now. I. was not expecting to much from it, but I have to admit I was really impressed! The sound-quality, additional controls , the transparency even when it gets aggressive, just mastered one of my mixes for fun and reached levels I would not expect to reach with that ease.

UA 1176 Collection
I have never used UAD plugins until now. Honestly learning how to properly use these plugins have helped me hear the difference between my stock plugins and other 3rd party plugins. I can just put these plugins on a source and may be close to what i am looking to achieve without doing anything. I a/b my stock plugins dialing in same gain reduction/output and in some cases there has been a 6 to 10 db difference. Stock plugins seem to work harder to get the job done and I probably would not have noticed the difference if I had not upgraded to these plugins. UAD has set the bar for me. Thanks

Faithful recreation of the one and only!
I was amazed to hear Abbey Road in the presets. Not kind of, or sort of, but right there. I love it based on that alone. I own one synth, but also have purchased many soft synths I don't use or like. I like this more than them. I don't know why. It feels organic. It is old, but feels so fresh.

Great piano!!
Really like this piano. It’s not my main instrument but it’s definitely the best piano plugin I’ve tried . I would recommend !!

Very successful and useful plugin
On the stereo sum, a very fine and excellent sounding compression is possible with this plugin. This compression joins the tracks together (glue). The effect can be precisely adjusted via the various parameters. The saturation can be very subtle or emphasized. The mix sounds detailed and dense.

Very successful and useful plugin!
Similar to Ocean Studios, a very successful replica of the spatial reflections. I can't judge whether the original room acoustics are actually displayed accurately. But the spatiality that can be created, assuming a space that is as acoustically neutral as possible during the recording, is impressive and melodious. The effect can be adjusted quite precisely via the various parameters.

Real as the real thing
I have worked with many tape emulations from different manufacturers and was happy...
Now, I have this emulation of the A800, it's like I've been playing with toys and this really does the job. It's not that you're never 100% sure of the effect the tool produces on the sound, with a trade-off between texture/warmth and sharpness, no. You can clearly hear how the texture improves, without smearing or making things more dirty, it's magical.
This simply makes rivals obsolete.

Great Channel Strip Plugin
It's one of the greatest channel strip plugins I've ever owns.
