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.

Functional Heft and Easy parallel compression
While I have not been able to work with a real Fairchild to compare, I recognize the sonic character these units contribute to many classic rock recordings. Having multiple virtual units to work with is quite fun, as each real unit is at least a few grand, if not 20.
My favorite thing about this plug in, beyond the amazing sound, is the built-in wet/dry control, which makes parallel compression easy to use sparingly on individual tracks.
I'm enjoying it on drums, bass, GUITARS, vocals, synths, and it's a go-to mix tool now.
Very receptive to tweaking and feel, especially with the subtle DC and headroom controls, and the 660 is great for mono sources.

Really goog plugin.
I Don't know the harware, but for me, it's Just the vision I needed ;).
I Test iT on a bus horns in a mix and it's give dem presence with no aggressivity.
On drums, perfect.
In the unsisson mode ( first time I try this fabolous new way of work ), I put in on a acouctic guitar, really nice but carefull with the hi endz.
PEACE.

API Vision Channel Strip
This plug in works well. Many of the presets are great places to start depending on your specific needs, then very easy to adjust to taste. Lots of flexibility for various applications.

My dream Reverb has become reality!
A loyal Lexicon user for many years. I never thought I could afford or own a reverb of this quality! Now I do!!! I swear it sounds good on pretty much anything! UA has done it again! Very happy customer!!
R. Erulo
Best plugin I've ever owned!
It's just great. So clear and detailed. it really gives you the feel of analog sound,
the gate works perfectly and it's great on snare and bass drums! The compressor is outstanding but never invasive, great on overheads and drums. the Eq sounds amazing!
perfect to shape every instrument and make them stand out of the mix!
But the real thing is.. try to mix a whole song with the Vision Channelstrip and and then compare it with any other of your work!! You won't believe it!

True recreation of the real thing!
I'm very happy with this plugin. It's my go to plugin for Drums Bass Acoustic Guitars some vocal stuff. I've been very happy with the results! Great job UA!
I. Pinkhas

Very functional plugin! Especially on vocals! I'm glad I bought it!

Just add it to the mix buss and it warms everything up
It's true. I demo'd it, and bought it shortly after. GREAT Price - thanks for the December sale and coupons, UA!
Add the 1A with default settings and it imparts a very pleasing, saturated tone to the overall sound of a mix without disturbing EQ. Of course there are many other uses but I really like this so much, I use it on everything now.

Volume control
This is where it al started with UAD especially the for the D.
so you won't find any better than these. In code that is.
Cheers,..

C. Grouard
Impressive
Of course, I read the reviews before purchasing the LA-2A collection, of course it encouraged me to purchase it, of course I was confident knowing the extreme quality of UA products, of course I'm not a pro, neither mastering engineer nor HFO, of course one could considere that I'm not sufficient an expert to write a review, of course I never used the hardware equivalent BUT what I can tell you is that with these plugins, my music sounds soooooo well! so, what else?
G. Gallardo
As good as it gets
Definitely a must have in the arsenal, it helps to add that desired character, punch and cut through the mix sweet compression that my tracks love!
S. Lay
Nice compressor for the money
I love this thing. It is a great addition to my line up. Totally different than the 1176 and la-2a. This thing rocks. Thanks UA!
M. Brawer
really great hardware reference
the MP is probably my favorite hardware unit ever, and i'm fortunate to have periodic access to one (periodic being the operative word). does this plug replace it? no, but it's close. if you take it just as an eq plug without direct comparison to the hardware it's wonderful, if a bit cpu hungry, but given that UA did a great job modeling the way the units curves behave and interact i use it to set up busses in my mixes intending to later be bounced through the hardware without having to go back, tweak, and re-render so many times when things build in a band. still, even when i never get around to that (it happens) the emulation still sounds fab in a final mix

Best Reverb
With this plug-in and not being able to use other plug-ins rigorous
The very warm reverb

API Strip
Just awesome! Super versatile, and I'm even digging it a little more than the Neve.

Lexicon 224 Review
I have had a good 3-4 years doing some score work at a studio that has a hardware Lexicon 224. When I first started using it, I found it to be harsh and unnatural. then I realized that its more of a Aux effect than a insert.
UAD did a excellent job on this plug in. I actually called up some of my old drum mixes, which I had done with the hardware and compared it to some of the sounds I'm getting now. Spot on! Like most UAD plug ins, even if the hardware was sitting on top of my mixing desk, I'd would likely just go with the plug in.
Highly recommend this to any that have experience with this unit. Again this isn't your "workhorse" reverb that you can use on everything but it does what it does very well!
Cheers UAD!
