Super Sweet
Just Super Sweet, this EQ can be pushed and still sound awesome! Great word UA

Surprisingly good! But dated GUI.
This is really a good and clean sounding compressor plugin considering that it was released 8 years ago. I have never worked with the hardware unit so I can't say what's missing in this one, but it does a great job. I especially like it in series with another compressor on something like vocals.
The DSP usage is pretty low by todays standard. I fear that an MkII version would be a bit over the top in that regard. But the GUI really needs an update! It's way too tiny on a modern screen and looks really dated.

One of the best plugins!
The API Vision Channel Strip Plug-In is surely one of the best plugins I've ever used. I use it often for mastering and it gives the whole track such a warm touch which I can't describe really. You have to experience it on your own to get what I mean. Everything in it is really great but what I like the most are the EQs. I am really impressed and wanna thank UAD for this great plugin.
I can only recommend to everybody to try this great plugin out. You will be fascinated!

Different characters for many purposes
My favourite compressor family with different characters and it is really for almost everything in your mix.

Ampex ATR-102- A Superb Plugin
Thank you to AMPEX ATR-102.
This is a Very great plugin from Universal Audio.
Thank you to Universal Audio for creating a product of such a high standard.
Whilst this review is particularly about the Ampex ATR-102, I have been further impressed by products of a similar high standard from Universal Audio such as -
EMT 250 Classic, Cooper Time Cube, Lexicon 224 Digi Revrb,1176s, Teletronix LA-2As/3A, Precision buss C,/Enhancer Hz, /KHz/ K-Stereo & Precision EQ Plug-in,Elysia Alpha C,API Vision Channel Strip, Little Labs-VOG, the Fatso plug, SPL VitalizeMK2T, Neve1081, CambridgeEq,Brainworx bx digital V2 EQ Plug-in, Dangerous Bax EQ Plug-in,Shadow Hills Compressor and the Sonnox Oxford Inflator.
I do not own any Apollo interface or any other hardware from Universal Audio. These plug-ins sit on the UAD2 Satellite firewire box. I like these particular ones because of their high standard of performance every time and any time they are brought into use. They just simply stand out and perform thee best.
As far as plug-ins go and besides the above mentioned plugs I have demoed and tried most other ones from Universal Audio and they are good too.
Cheers.

Great musical reverb
Great musical reverb, without taking too much space in the mix. I am using it mostly for vocals and creating atmospheres, it can really blend into the original sound naturally. Love it.

Great for mastering
I have never used the hardware unit, but UAD Massive Passive sounds just great. I am using it mostly for mastering, because unfortunately it takes a lot of DSP power (this is why I gave 4 stars only), but quality has a cost. Finally I can easily boost lows without getting muddy, and boost highs without getting harsh sounds. Great plugin overall.

Amazing Plug In!!!
A Studer A800 in a plug in on every channel and you're recording to 2" multitrack tape, quite convincingly!!!

Audio Mixer/Engineer
Firstly, I own the Universal Audio 2-1176 hardware unit, and I was left speechless… I was without speech.
This plugin is so versatile, it works brilliantly as both a compressor/EQ all at once.
A very well worth purchase in my opinion.

Solve all troubles from mastering iin my studio

It may be old, but it sounds better than the new reverbs!
One thing I hate about software reverb plugins is that I have to equalize a lot to make it sound great. This reverb has a nice sound, yet it has a simple EQ on the controller. I love this reverb, and I use it on everything.

UAD Pultecs Can't Get Any Better
These EQs sound so good when I boost and cut that I had to put it on every channel. This led to me purchasing a satellite octo. I want to throw these on every single channel. I purchased other plugin EQs from other companies, and I want my money back. I love UAD. Keep up the good work, and you'll keep getting money from me.

Fantastic compressor
I am using this compressor on all snare channels (Top and bottom mic) and it is doing fantastic work! Very good punchy compressor sound on my snare.
R. Graterol
I've never heard anything like it
I realised after buying this plugin how far away I was from truly interesting reverb tails and sounds from the average reverb plugins from the DAW's. This thing has vibe on its own. The tail is absolutely amazing. You can use it for anything from plate reverb to super lush atmospheric stuff. I'm still getting my way around it but I'm really excited about it.

Amazing tool!
It's really cool! Very good for each type of instrument. It give me control and presence that I need in my tracks! The most powerfull compressor for lead or back vocal)
Thanks for it! :)

Loving the warmth!
I just love how this warms up whatever you put through it - really added some oomph to a sax solo I was mixing.

Weird but cool piece of kit
I struggle to understand this plugin, but I find that if I turn knobs long enough something beautiful always comes out of it. Thanks UA!

Feels Like the Real Thing
This is a great set of compressors that I find invaluable for both tracking and mixing. It's great having all three and there is certainly a distinct difference between each of the compressors. Having used the hardware pieces that these model many times I feel the only thing I'm missing is the sound of the needle hitting the inside of the meter. Like most everything UA make this is a must have!
