Great sounding and easy workflow, but a CPU hog
As a way to simplify the vocal chain, I really like the workflow and results. However, the plugin is almost unusable on my production laptop as it stutters while mixing/comping/editing music . I can bounce down to another track so I don't need to have it loaded all the time, but would love for the development team to put some additional effort into making this a higher performing product. Perhaps some buffering would help? I feel like the bedroom producer market that this is geared towards are going to have less CPU than I have as a software developer.

Incredibly easy to dial in
It could not have come at a better time! Topline made my life so much easier to tune and “top off” my vocals! Everything I need is in one plugin that works fast, intuitive, and resource efficient! Thank you! My job is easier!

Big disappointment
I’m a UAD costumer for more than 7 years, and I got to say I’m really disappointed with the UAD hardware.
The plugins sound great, no latency.. bla bla bla
But!
Crushes a lot, many hardware problems
Connectivity problems with UA connect.. just not worth the money and the risk of my projects.
I need a solid and fast hardware when I’m creating, and UAD is making me deal with way too many things instead of just making music.
One more thing,
It works so bad that I actually prefer to create with my cheap behringer audio interface, no problems at all.
Most times the work flow is more important than the “quality”

It's like having a world-class analog console right at my fingertips
I'm blown away by the API Vision Channel Strip Collection! This plugin has completely transformed the sound of my productions. Every little tweak to the knobs makes a noticeable difference in the overall tone. I'm particularly impressed with the gate, compressor and the eq!! The sound is incredibly rich and warm, and it adds a professional polish to my mixes. If you're looking to elevate your audio, I highly recommend giving this plugin a try.

Sound
It’s like having 3 types of compressors in one.
Perfecto

Happy fan
The plugin is a must if you don’t have outboard for a million bugs!

The beauty of a very specific tone and color
Very natural and crisp sounding reverb. I finally understood the potential of convolution reverbs when I tried this and Capitol Chambers.
Thanks for the insight!

Hitsville Eq Collection
I have way too many of the top eq's and this and the Pultec are really all I need.
The Hitsville Eq is simply easy and beautiful...

Wow
And wow.

Heavy cpu demanding plugin
In frist place, the vocal suite give little information what is actually doing to the audio recording. UA already delivers vast amaunt of plugins for audio mixing. If any client already posseses such plugins for mixign, why would a producer spend money for a vst that has reverb, delay, eq and all that functions? - I believe you should deliver a minimal version that only does auto-tune and pitch correction. ; Also related, the other features give little feedback of what they are actually doing, again, if a customer already has other strip chain that usually aplies to production, the little feedback puts in doubt what the plugin is actually doing to the audio, so I decided to tunr off most of the other features.
- The PLUGIN IS INTENSIVE CPU RESOURCE DEMANDING. As other UAudio plugins, the cpu demand is high. The most demand is every time the user clicks de User Interface that loads a different panel, that often producing a little hang of the overall system. At that moment seems like the programmer told the application to LOAD ALL resources in ONLY ONE FRAME, what often produces audio glitches, (imposible for the cpu to handle the heavy demand while keep up the buffer flow.) Is like UA designs plugins as no other plugin were active at the moment. What If I have this VOcal Suite and Electra 88 or other plugin? It is obvious the frame resource overload problem, and is a very amateur programmer mistake.
If I had payed the full price, or even 99 usd, I had already asked for a refund. I only keep it because I obtained discounted in a bundle. The software might help do the job someone with little to no knowledge in mixing, otherwise, get a plugin that only does pitch correction. It is a nonsesne the cpu demand. The encumberance is very annoying.
[-I am sure my cpu is competent, I have a 6 core, 12 threads cpu, I have no problem with other software, and I doubt an audio card would help load resources in on sole frame and avoud audio glitching, or system hanging. ]

Butter smooth sound, buggy performance
Pros:
Soundwize, it is very well representation of the real thing, with good option of built-in FX expected to be used alongside the MK1. Decent number of presets to help you starting an idea of a sound that you maybe looking for.
Cons:
After few minutes of being loaded into the DAW (Ableton 12.1 in my case), it starts to punish the CPU very hard, until everything becomes so laggy that the the whole project becomes unresponsive, if I don't unload it and load it back in after the first signs of lag...rinse and repeat.
I hope I'm just the unlucky one from the bunch.

LOVE THESE
Instant gratification via eloquent plugins: makes music closer to painting and these hues are lovely to incorporate. There are very few elements of a production that these don't immediately improve and often the whole dang thing.

Strong plug-in
The sound city plug-in can be applied for lots of purposes. Besides that it can be a source of inspiration for setting up a mix.

nice channel strip
it works great, a channel strip with the famous sound, of course it is not really sounding like the real thing, as I have some Api Hardware, but if you dig in deeper, it is coming close, what I don`t like about the plugins, is, that you have to be online to make them work...I think nobody likes that-

Amazing
All in one place

Awesome.
Another awesome plugin from UAD. Sounds great on the master bus, and pretty much wverywhere else you might use it.

Fender Twin Reverb sound for a song.
I don't often need the Fender Twin sound but, at the price UAD sells this SIM, It is a steal. And, ot sounds identical.
