Must have!
The sound of the 1176 Collection makes any other attempt to reproduce those amazing compressor a waste of time.
I have worked on the real ones several times in many pro recording studios and I found the UAD-2 plug-ins to be so precise in sound and behavior that it made me cry.
The 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-in Collection it's a MUST HAVE.

Instances on every track!? Yes please.
I couldn't be happier with this plugin. I pretty much use it on every track on every project.

Love It!
I was just in the studio with the hardware version of the 224. I A/B-ed it with the plug-in. In a fairly sparse mix, nobody in the room could tell the difference. UAD rocks again.
S. Xenokottas
Absolutely love it
Have never used the hardware so can't compare.
I didn't even listen to the plugin either before buying it, just bought it on recommendations. Have used it for a week now and i absolutely love it.

Alex.
Having purchased a Lexicon unit years ago for live sound I realised the quality of sound the company offered.
The Lexicon 224 plug-in is everything I have dreamed of in a reverb unit.Ease of use and great presets.
A well earned 5 stars.

1176 collection
I had a UA 6176, which I loved but sold after deciding to go "all plugin". I miss the 6176, but not so much now that I have the 1176 Collection.

Great reverb - easy to use!
This reverb is so musical and easy to use. It's easy to dial in a sound real quick and also deep dive if more time is available. No matter what I've thrown it - a tight room sound or a lush hall, it's performed with such ease and is a true pleasure to use.
B. Bulmer
Musical and smooth.
Many of the UA emulations I can test against the real deal. But when it comes to Pultec and Fairchild gear I can't say the same thing. Having said that I love the combination of either of the Fairchild compressors followed by Pultec EQ. I use an Apollo quad and recently my go to single chain is the UA 610 Pre, Fairchild 670 Comp then into a Pultec EQ. So Musical and smooth.

Outstanding
I do love and use the Neve and the 610AB plugins, but the API has quickly become the one I go to first. Why?
It sounds amazing.
You can get that amazing sound quickly.
(In fact, you have to try very hard to get a bad sound.)
It's layout is clean, thoughtful and intuitive.
It's versatile (It's a great one stop shopping channel strip).
It uses a lot less DSP than the Neve and 610s.
One could go on. But what would be the point?
Great job, UA!

Wonderful for voices
Since this plugin is in my toolbox it's the only to-go for voice treatment. The gain stage gives the "something". The gate is not much used but very natural. The real goodness comes from the compressor and the eq stages. Especially the eq that sculpts the sound in a very good way that is immediately useable and just sounds good.
I don't use many if these plugins in a session, so even if it's DSP heavy, it's still ok.
I've not experienced the analogue API due to budget restriction so I cannot compare. But this channel strip is good value for money and now a reference as much as the UAD SSL strip that is still used for many instrumental tracks.

Juicy!!
I can't keep it off my tracks!! Classic compression and very useful filters. A serious console emu.
N. Mcdonough
Sounds Great!
I have a UA 1176LN and Hairball Audio Rev A. The plugin sounds 99% there compared to the hardware. Awesome job UA! Now I have as many 1176's as I need on a mix. Two Thumbs up!
P. Jorge
Very good indeed...
These compressors do amaze me, despite being aggressive if I want them too, they can also be subtle and real warm.,.. it´s night and day difference for the Legacy 1176!
Highly recommended tools!

N. Bullock
cool compression

Punch and Control
When you need to grab that transient and subdue it, this is the the beast to call on. Great sound slightly colored. all in all a great plugin compressor.

Good Stuff
Haven't had time to use this much but what I have used it on worked out great. Just using it within the signal path makes the sound more open and in your face on vox and guitars. Looking forward to getting to know this plugin like the back of my hand. Unison Rocks. Good Stuff.....
E. Kerr
Amazing
This is probably one of the best plugins I have ever used. The presets are amazing for mixing, and I have been able to get some incredible sounds using it as a pre with my apollo. It has replaced my outboard pres half the time. I track through this and it sounds finished.
The gate is particularly spectacular.
