An excellent room reverb but can be a CPU hog and requires internet connection
This is a set of great impulse responses at its core, so credit to the engineers for that; they are truly fantastic and the re-mic mode is pretty slick. Instant, cohesive space to glue stuff together.
However, I personally don't find the eye-candy, the dynamics or the EQ sections very useful and the chamber reverb is a CPU slayer. I wish there were a lite version that omitted all the bloat and just gave us the incredible room impulses. I have a modern PC with a fast CPU and loads of RAM, and this plugin on just 2 channels uses over 40% of the CPU; enabling the chamber effect on each of them requires a buffer size of at least 1024 samples!
Oh, and it requires an internet connection to load. Boo.

Good stuff, but...
Sound is great, without any doubt. Unfortunately the upgrade doesn't include the API Console Emulation for Luna nor the API pre for some color without running out of DSP.

Best EQ
Sweet mother of God! This thing sounds sooo good. No wonder those motown albums all sounded so darn good :) Almost voodoo like... Blown away!

Ok, you got me.
I was skeptical. I don't know why. Every plugin I've purchased from UAD has been amazing. I picked it up just to see what the hype was really about. After placing it on a drum bus, I hear what everyone is talking about. Then I noticed, I can see what they're talking about too. Peaks from the snare and bass were tamed, and still had their punch and power. I have no idea why other compressors wouldn't achieve this without squashing the transients, but this one did it with ease and musicality. It's turned into a staple of my work flow within a day. Thanks again UAD!

A real Must-Have
This is the plugin that really gives you the extra step on your Mix/Master even when you think you're done. Amazing.

Inspiring
Thanks to everyone who has been involved and contributed to this work to bring a space that you cannot even imagine being in, to your fingertips, to your monitor. The product is incredible. The CPU utilization is not as extraordinary as some forums say.

This is good!!
Very nice sounding, I left a 3 star review before but that wasn't fair because I haven't tested it out extensively, now that I have used more and I'm loving it, itI'll give a 4.5 now.. only not giving a 5 because it would be nice if they show the ms values and the decay time so you could lock in the time perfectly, on the other hand, that makes you use more your ears and adjust accordingly which is how those vintage gear were meant to be use.

Worth Every Cent
If you found yourself looking through the reviews for the distressor, you pretty much already have your answer. Yes, it's worth having this in your arsenal and yes, you will probably use this on most of your mixes if not all of them. Great saturation feel, and just a positive element to any vocal or instrument.

Secret Weapon
Did not know what to expect when I got this plugin because I haven't seen many people use it much in tutorials but when I placed it on my master chain, I felt the warmth and added volume I was looking for without pushing my levels too high.
