Classic Sound, Modern Application
This is the real thing. Sorry to any old-school "purists" out there who will nickel and dime every single subjective sonic nuance of this plug-in against the original hardware, but the argument is futile... It simply "does the job" of the 224 without any of the headache, troubleshooting, or inefficiency of the original. Infinite preset management/recall, writable automation and real-time controllable interface... If you find yourself blaming this plug-in for your mix-related reverb woes, you're either A) using the wrong setting, or B) using the wrong device altogether for the application. Couldn't be happier, and thank you UA for saving me the time, money, rackspace and hassle of the hardware.

Heavy weight hitter
Goes on just about every channel. Look no further. I use this most of the time, if I need a warmer vibe, I go with the Neve 88RS. Great on drums, vocals, bass, guitars, everything. Great to use, easy to understand, decent presets to get you pointed in the right direction.

API Vision Channel Strip Plug-In docs not found
The documentation for the API vision channel Strip plug in can not be found online or in the installation. Where is it?

Massive and a Swizz-army knife
When you are done with a mix and your clients are happy there is still one more thing you can do, slap the Massive Passive on the guitarbus, add some 3khz and bam! Agressive upfront wide guitars to compete in the loudness war without compression. I just love this EQ!

A 20/20 Plug-in
Buying this is like buying a pair of glasses for your audio!
To date, this is the best plug that I've ever used. I've been through all the Waves worth mentioning, Brainworx, other UAD ones, Native instruments, etc…, and none of them compare to the "it just works" aspect that this plug offers.
The preamp dials in your amount of distortion. The filters provide just enough to cut (or even add side chain!). The compressor, with its four different combinations, is very doable on nearly every source — if not perfect. It can do punch you in the gut very easily or even be very transparent — very adjustable and versatile. The expander can be a pretty neat creative tool; try it on drums! Great EQ!
Though it's a channel strip, try it on all buses!

Ganz ganz ganz toll
Ich besitze selber einen 1176 ln und bin unheimlich begeistert von der klangquallität dieser Plugins...ich finde es unglaublich gut ! Es ist schwer für mich im direkt Vergleich unterschiede zu hören...

The Indispensable LA2A!
I really like that classic LA2A sound and now I have the different versions as well. Vocals get even and gain body and weight. Vintage...Yes of course! Not a transparent compressor, but that is why you choose LA2A. Outstanding Vocal compressor; Bass always gets the LA2A-sauce. And the 3 versions bring their own character to the table. UA really copied the hardware very well it in this new LA2A collection. Indispensable in every mix!!!

It's that classic Lexicon sound!
This reverb is so easy to use. And you immediately get that well known Lexicon sound. This is one of my favorite reverbs! For big halls, superb vocal reverbs, percussion tails, really anything... This one is in all of my sessions :-)

Excellent emulation
I have worked in an analog studio in the past, where I used Lexicon 480L a lot. When I got hands in Lexicon 224 plug-in I was very pleasantly surprised at the authentic sound it produces.

Beautiful sound, crystal clear top and good reproduction in the bottom register, API Vision Channel Strip is also very musical.

Smack attack!
Hardware DBX 160's (all varieties) work wonders for adding attack and smack to drums, and this plug in really captures the compression characteristics that make the 160 such a popular compressor. Insert this on your kick and snare and hear the "twack" you've been missing! With it's super fast attack and release it works wonders on a mandolin or banjo to lock the playing in place and keep them steady and forward through a track. Highly recommended.

Wow! That's awesome!
Best 1176 sounding software compressor collection! Full of character and veeery versatile.
D. Brown
Love this software plug.
Just invested in an octo card and upgraded to pt 11. Next I picked up an Apollo twin duo. And a used MacBook pro to run those sweet preamp plugs. 1073neve and the 610b. Sounds unbelievable. thanks uad for a new outlook and upgraded sound. Nothing left for your sale sh.....

First things first...
I add Studer as the first plug in on every track, and I mean every. About half the time, I use an appropriate preset, the other half I leave at default with maybe a few tweaks. It really removes the brittle digital feel that I sometimes hear on my tracks. While subtle, it's real. It's by far my most used plug.

No doubts - THE BEST SOUNDING! emulation of original 1176 hardware. I use it on any kind of acoustic instruments and i like very much the quality of the sound!
