Just get it!
You really don't realize how good it is until you actually start using it. The glue that brings to your mix its indescribable.

The Special One
Fairchild is a special compressor. It kind of have more of everything. More color, more presence; more sound. In cases of what I call "dead source material", typically due to bad digital recordings and/or the sound of early softsynths with obvious weak algorithms, the Fairchild can bring such things to life. Thicken things up, but at the same time it can knock dynamic inconsistencies, as well as inappropriate resonant frequency responses, into place, in just the right way. In other words, this is not an invisible compressor. There's lots of color. Still it's got depth and transparency. But where the LA-2A is more sweet, the Fairchild is more agressive. Especially in the mid-range. And even more the 660. But all in a good and warm way. We're talking the old-school rock'n roll vibe. :)
As I've never tried the original hardware, I can only compare to the competition of other software models. Still I feel enough like a nerd on the Fairchild subject (as I almost have all of the other emu's, and I certainly sense a thin red line between all of them) to conclude the above; the very fairchild sound! I was therefore very excited to try out the UAD models. (I'm fairly new to the UAD game. (What took me so long? :))
Needless to say the UAD Fairchild package, beats the competition on fairly all the above parameters. And where the competition lacks, the UAD kicks in.
If one thing comes to mind, I was quite suprised that the UAD models seem slower in the Time Constants? Not that it sounds that much slower. Maybe just a bit? Maybe it's the metering that differs? Well, if the modelling of the tube technology is done right, such possible real world fluctuations should transfer right over. And as we're talking tubes, they oughta be slower than FET's anyway. So this makes me even more convinced this is the most precise modelling of real world. And it's prefectly convincing on real music. ;-)

Лучшее из лучших
Один из самых часто используемых плагинов, особенно rev A, вносит в звук тот характер, который потом как магнит притягивает внимание и слух.

Love It
I’ve been the proud owner of this plugin for a while and it’s amazing. It feels like the hardware (at least to me) and simply a wonderful tool. Thank you UAD!

Tape Glue
After trying stacks of different emulations this to me instantly stood out it just has a great vibe and captures that final tape glue Magick
I mainly use on stereo bus as last insert along with API2500 amd MaagEQ4
These 3 UAD plugins for me on the stereo bus definitely bring the vibe I’m looking for.
ATR 102 Brilliant plugin

Warm and True
UAD has done a terrific job emulating the sound of a Studer with this plugin, and I really appreciate its functionality in Luna. I wish the dynamic response could be tweaked with a bit more subtlety, but very pleased overall.
G. Fata
Love it!
Exactly what I was hoping to get from this plugin. Simply putting on an insert gives the audio that warm coloration. From there, adding in compression it can be very transparent or really squash the transients. Look forward to using this on all of my tracks.

It’s just amazing

Silky smooth precision from a studio standard!
I demoed the Avalon right when it came out ! We have been using the hardware version the studio throughout our recording career for bass for recording vocals and was so happy to see that UAD had modelled the Avalon. It is without a doubt my favourite silky smooth precise compressor and EQ! I own and use regularly the Neve 1073 the 88RS and the API vision strip and the Manley set. They all have their own sound but the Avalon ads that warm natural silky smooth sheen and vibe to complete my kit! Thanks so much UAD , now I have to buy another Mic to upgrade my setup!

Best 1176 in Plugin Land
Really love the Ref A. Gives u the in ur face Vocal what u expect from an 1176.
Also the other Ref´s are great. All over great tools.
B. Blais
Really good... as expected
This is a really good addition to my reverb collection... the missing link between the EMT140 end the BX20. With a lot of flexibility thanks to the well-thought settings : Pre Delay / LPF / EQ ... The emulations are good as expected from UA ! >Good job guys

I had the hardware version of this, the plug does a real good job. You can really crank up the preamp gain.
