Simple is always best
Just work from left to right.
It's that easy to get a good sonics.

Took a while to convince me but..
It took me a while to be completely convinced it was worth the money. The deal breaker for me was stacking it against the 1176 so that they were both compressing just a little bit. I managed to get consistently good results on vocals and guitars before I decided it was worth the purchase.
All being said it's a compressor of which there are thousands out there, if you like the sound of it and find it relatively easy to use (I imagine you will say yes to both of those), then by all means it's a product for you :)

Great EQ, easy to use,
I used the Pulteq EQ on Bass synth a lot and master
The big difference for me, between the old and the new version is the Pultec Passive collection is more precise, less muddy than the old one. It's great to have an eq that boost the bass frequency without having a muddy low end !!!

Not really a Plugin
This one really stands out. It's not often that go in to a project/mix thinking specifically how this Plugin will be used as part of the planning. I love it, and it's part of my workflow. I when I think about it, I don't think, "plugin", and "Hey, How will this sound? Let's give it a try." I think "Tape Recorder". There is so much ground it can cover and cover it exceptionally. There are large number of great sounding presets to get you started with your new "studio gear" too.
Definitely becoming a "desert island" piece of kit!

Man...
I've been trying to figure out what to do with my hardware since I got this. It's phenomenal, and actually my most "go-to" pre of all the pres available on the Apollo. Compared to the Neve 1073, you'll notice this preamp doesn't have that punchy midrange. Instead it seems to have a more extended and well detailed low end. It definitely has a warm and much more even tempered sound. The EQ's and Compressor are a conversation piece in themselves. Easily 5 star, and probably the best value of all the Pres.

I love this thing.
I have been mixing analog for the past 10 years.
I recently was forced to go back into the box.
It is plugins like this one that makes it ok!
I put this on the 2bus for everything.

A good tool by your side.
I had to say that this Fairchild tube limiter collection is simply a must have.

Welcome back, old friend!
I missed my stack of DBX160s. The Crush - The Crunch - The Speed! This emulation is fantastic. The attack and recovery rate are just as I remembered. Blazing fast like only the DBX160. If you are looking for massive squash and huge thick make-up gain, the 160 is your box. Use it wisely! A+

Lexicon 224
Highly recommended, I have the Lexicon Pcm Reverb bundle but the 224 seems much warmer and fatter than the Lexicon bundle. Can't be beat especially on vocals!
R. Maloney
Good stuff !!!
Real good for the kick drum. Also great on snare too.

A "Must Have" Insert For Our Team!
How could you not love anything "Manley"? The quality for the price on this plug-in is well worth every penny. Our company work's with several radio Voice Over talents. It's very important to our clients that we have a plug-in we can easily tweak to roll off low end or quickly adjust EQ on the fly to fit each specific voice talent. This does the trick for us! We've tried every other UAD EQ and many other 3rd party plug-in options. Nothing seems to compare to the Manley Massive Passive!

Awesome Plug-in
I purchased an expensive analog channel strip to use before my vocals hit the Apollo Twin. It was decent, but something was missing. For my situation, The API Vision Channel Strip, put the Analog unit to shame. There was no need for the bulky expensive box any more. I mainly use the API Strip for the very responsive expander. It works great when you are recording in an untreated room or noisy area. However, all of the other features are very handy too. Being able to load 2 API strips inside the same chain offers up come cool mixing options too.

I am hooked!!
Never used the hardware version but, oh man do I love this plug-in. The ability to have it across multiple busses, well, let's just call that a WIN WIN purchase. The audible recognition and silky but transparent compression characteristics that it adds to a bass guitar, vocal, or kick drum puts a huge smile on my face. This plug is amazing! Like I said, I am hooked!!!!
C. Machado
API tone I can't live without
What is there to say that hasn't already been stated about this awesome plug-in. It's a must have for any ITB or hybrid set up.

Great sounding eq!! Easy to use!!!! my new go to eq
Talking short about myself i am the typical home studio nerd with no professional experience. So if there is a plug-in that shows up with such a clean gui interface i have to try it.
The Pultec eq plugins sound is really really great and the presets are definitely helping me out the get into the ballpark asap. Just by putting it on the track without doing anything it already changes the sound. Speaking for myself i found that the pultec eq are not meant to be like surgical eq, but help to make the instrument sound better, more defined, helping to highlight the strength of each track you put it on.
Using both the boost and attenuation function gives some really nice and interesting sounding results!! Worth every single penny!!!

1176 wow?! I never expected such greatness!
I was so used to the sound of an LA-2A, I never wanted to try anything else... I AM SO GLAD I DID! The 1176's are awesome, the biggest surprise was on my lead vocal, I would have never thought anything could touch an LA-2A on the human voice, but boy was I wrong. These are as sweeeeeeeeeet as they come... great job UAD!
E. Halterman
Insane plugin... LA-2a's to the max!
I love these so much and I use them on just about everything... mostly lightly, but on the bass the Silver is great on Vocals and acoustic guitars the gray is stellar. Any one of these is great, I own the Legacy, but there is no comparison, these sound 65% better in my opinion due to the transformer algorithm... etc

Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Plug-In
One of my best plug-ins!! Gives a new life, perspective, soul, etc. to mixes that I already considered in good shape. Great tool. Walter (Argentina).
