UAD Signature Edition Version 2

the best emulation of 1176

Inevitable in my daw, it is in my top 3 compressors, it is the best 1176 on the market, it is the best emulation of the original, it has no rivals

without a doubt the best vari mu emulation from fairchild, I would buy it again

simply perfect for strings, it's in my top 3 compressors

Essential Plugin

Incredible plug-in that just adds so much to so many aspects of a mix and it’s even great as a guitar practice tool to play with a little more life than a dry signal

Exquisite. Expressive. Exceptional.

Look no further: This Is It.

legend reverb

easy to use great reverb

Excellent

LA-2A is the emulation I use all the time for vocals. I can't let it go!

It sounds really good, way better than other 224 emulations or convolution.

It is a tasteful and good looking reverb plugin, very easy to use, giving that instant 80ies flavour to your mix, effortlessly.
It's unfortunate that i can't compare it to the original unit.. as i know that a lot of people focus on how the plug in version compares to the real unit...
I can't comment on that, my job is to focus on what i hear.
But i used the 224X many times and own a decent collection of reverb units (lexicon, bricasti etc..) and a lot of plugins as well, and i strongly recommend anyone to try it, as it's a great product, to a more than reasonable price.
I compared it to other 224 emulations & convolution, and obviously, Universal Audio makes it better.

Sound is very good, GUI not user-friendly

The sound from this plugin is high quality. Also the presets are very good. But the GUI seems to be inspired by the original hardware, which means it inherits all the drawbacks of the analog era, not taking advantage of the possibilities of good, digital GUI-design.
I do not regret buying, due to the excellent sound.

PolyMAX Synth

Good Synth! I recommend ;)

I think a number of people don't get this plugin...

I think the UA marketing team may have been asleep at the switch... The beauty of this plugin is the integration of the Ocean Way room with the piano. The room + piano IS the instrument. Criticisms of the plugin being too "roomy" don't wash when one considers the obvious intent. I purchased and I love it.

Capital Mastering Compressor

Took advantage of the Labor Day Sale yesterday and bought the Capitol Mastering Compressor, and was able to spend much of the day fooling with it.
To begin with, it is very smooth, light and nicely gluey with some natural warmth and a little tone that dials in or out nicely.
I will often run through different sub busses at some point when mixing, looking for whatever. This compressor when placed on a track with a Pultec and/or one of the Eqs with an "air band" or some such feature for boosting at the extreme high end will very nicely rein in the harsh or nasty that sometimes can show up using those tools.
I like it and will use it. Built a strip that I saved with it kind of sitting there in the middle, just touching stuff.
It improves things.
It sounds strangely LA to me, but that is likely just the power of suggestion emanating from the name.

Sound quality is good but GUI is blurry

The GUI remains blurry in native plug-ins, and there are still problems with nativization in Winsows, so it is always better to check with a demo.

UAD does it again!

The Manley Tube Preamp is a must have for anyone recording live instruments or vocals. It can also be used on the mixbus for tube warmth, character, punch, and clarity. Five stars for me!!

Oozing with Analogue Warmth

a Must Have!

Great Plugin of all times.. it`s a must have for me. it add`s that "i don`t know what" that makes everything sound better.

Add musical spaces to anything

A great weapon for synths , I really like the sound, the parameters, the flexibility in terms of frequencies
