Simple and sweet!
My limiter of choice, you can do so much with them on almost all kind of tracks. My favorite combo is a 1176 in front to squeeze and add some dirt with "all-buttons-IN" and then place the LA-2A in the back of it OR vice versa, put a LA-2A at first to limit and to even out the sound a bit (but only a little bit) and the compress it. Unfortunately I cannot give examples, would be too long for this review box.
Another swiss army knife collection, MUST HAVE!

Oh my dearest Studer :*
I tried the demo and was astonished what is possible with tape saturation.
You can add not only warmth, but shaping e.g. your whole track in every (analog) direction when it comes to rock, stoner, jazz, swing, etc.. I was able to fullfill the dreams of a stonerrock band I recorded which demanded a kind of analog "rolled-of-highs" sound with nice and subtle saturation. And everything without loosing their mojo; the studer added in opposite of this MORE mojo and this is only ONE of the cases I was able to give the musicians what they wanted!

A pack which covers everything!!
If you don´t have the money for this pack, why the heck did you buy a UAD platform? This pack was one of the first I bought and it serves me more than well!!
Every revision has it´s own charakter and in the beginning you have to play around A LOT to find out the one which suits you the best. But I used all of them with great success on everything I mixed and I am really glad having them! Don´t forget to watch tutorials to get the best out of this excellent compressors!!!

Smooth and clear!!!
It´s just WOW when you turn on the highs on the EQ-P1A and THEN roll them off at the same time. This kind of coloration can be only made with this one without harshness and that "plastic" feeling of other kind of derivations of this EQ.
I heard also the hardware and must admit that the UAD version doesn´t lack the deepness of which everyone talks all the time, for me it´s sounds round, full and perfect. GOOD JOB UAD!! :)))

MUST HAVE!!!
In the past, before I started with the UAD stuff, I used a lot of the Waves version and I liked it really - then I met the UAD Fairchild. Must admit that it is REALLY smooth and it kicks ass when it comes to glueing (can you call it glue? It´s somehting else..) stuff together with a certain kind of magic.
What I especially like is the kind of fullness the 670 brings for me on almost everything I wanna enchant with it, no matter if bass, buss or whatever I need. The 660 is IMHO a bit too aggressive, but since I had a liverecording with a band, incorporating a singer which was a bit weak in his voice on this day, I gave it a try and was suprised! I guess, not liking something is only a result of not trying all the capabilities.

So glad I purchased
I'm tring out this bundle and so far I'm happy I made the purchase. Love everything these unit have to offer Im still learning how they work but so for from what I have learned the sound and CPU processing is great

Nice analog sound
Before I purchased this plugin I demoed it an compared to the waves kramer, j37 and the studer. I think that compared to others, this one offers an immediate difference in sound. The sonic characteristics can go from subtle to more evident. I'm using it on my final mixes and I'm very satisfied as it suites my needs. Nevertheless, I have to say that the price is far too high. I purchased it thanks to a 250€ coupoun and the 50€ price cut that they were offering, otherwise I believe that 350€ for a plugin is close to ridiculous.

Can't work without it
This set is amazing. The eq alone is just bliss. I have so many other eq's that just don't compare. My current go to setting on the eq is 10K with 2-4db boost. I regret not buying it sooner and using it on my previous mix-downs.

Another five-star rating, and deservedly so.
This is a fantastic set of character EQs.
The EQ-P1A is quite simple: a low-shelf, a high-peak, and a low-pass. Its strokes are broad and it does glorious things to highs & lows.
The MEQ-5 is my favorite EQ for doing mid-scoops without being incredibly aggressive. The "Dip" section finds its way on a lot of my mixes, allowing me to arrive at a "modern" sound but with vintage vibe. The boosts are ridiculously smooth as well.
And the HLF-3C, while probably the least exciting of the three, is the one I use the most. The filters do their thing beautifully; nothing sounds "chopped off", but rather just natural and so slightly rounded.
Don't overlook the "old" Pultec Pro either! It's earned its status as a classic, for a fraction of the DSP.

Best Verb Out
This blows all plugin verbs out of the water, hands down. I was an Altiverb fan, but now I'm proud to say I'm a HUGE fan of the 224.

Its so attractive its MAGNETIC
Amazing quality of sound. You would be hard pressed to make anything running through it NOT sound so much better. Great job UA. Adam, Sydney AUS

Makes a big difference
I recently sent some tracks off to be mixed and mastered by a professional studio. When I got the mixes back they were not at all what I wanted or expected. To my ear it was completely wrong. I decided to mix the tracks myself and once I had mixes I was happy with I was looking for tricks to enhance them during the mastering process. I'm glad I found this plugin because it has made a substantial difference. I recorded my first album to tape and I've always felt that record has a nicer vibe to it that I've never quite managed to replicate in the digital realm. This plugin, as well as a few others has really helped to achieve what I was looking for. Definitely my favourite from UAD.
