Best 1176 plugin
I've compared this to other plugins and hardware units, and it's safe to say that it is the best emulation I've ever heard. I even liked it better than some of the cheaper 1176 hardware clones. The purple audio 1176 was slightly better (this is 99% there and you could never tell in a mix) , but at this price it's a steal! I got it for $100 and have no regrets. I have an apollo and this lives on my vocal tracking in the console software. I also use it for tracking acoustic, guitars and some drums. Between this and the api vision strip I'm set.

More punch, better "open" sound quality.

Was a bit skeptical in the beginning but you can here and feel an improvement here.
If you love the old 1176 go for these as well!

My first choice on Mastering
I am doing many mastering in my studio using this amazing plugin. The shape and tone change every time in a good way. I use it at the end of my mastering chain before limiter to give some mojo to the track or increase the consistence of the bass range and raise the RMS level. Sometimes I found a good choice insert in the first slot of the chain before EQ. The presets are really a good starting point to experiment and discover better the potentiality of this swiss knife!

Great sound
Even though it's a little harder to operate than other of my reverb plugins it's has amazing sound so it pays off to spend a little time getting to know it

it sets your lead-vocal in your face

An Essential
This plugin really is a studio essential. LA2As have been a huge part of making top records for years, and now we can all have the experience of their signature sound in our mixes. This is my go to for so many things. I'm sure whatever you put through it will sound great, but I particularly love it on vocals and bass!!

Brilliant! Drums.... Wow!!!
One of the best plugins I've ever used. Tracking drums through it via the console application is amazing. Clients have been blown away by the 'raw' tracks soon as they get into protools! Even just hitting the overheads had through this plugin is really all the dynamics processing they need. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you'll all come to the same conclusions pretty quickly!
Thanks!!!

Ampex ATR - 102
By far the best plug in I've ever used, this beauty is perfect for smoothing out and bringing character and life from your mixes. Also great on pretty much everything from horns to vocals, you won't regret buying this one....

Performance is the same.

Great Channel Strip
I've been fortunate to dial in some great custom presets from deep radio voice to crisp male vocal. Very rich sound. I'm sure my mic helps (Rode NTK with Telefunken Tube). With a great mic signal going in, this plugin handles well and makes the ladies melt. The gate feature is very, better than every software gate I've tried. Good thing I held out on buying an Aphex Channel strip.

Essential element of my mixes!
I love the fact that I can put this on my tracks and dial in each instrument differently, in real life I would need many tape machines and lots of tape. This plugin sounds amazing and reduces the need for as much eq'ing. Definitely speeds up my workflow and helps me achieve "that sound". Simply beautiful and very necessary.

Works as advertised!
Yep. This mastering tape recorder is almost always on my master buss. I love what it adds, whether its subtle or gritty. Works as advertised! Pair it with the Shadow Hills comp and you're almost there.

Nice, smooth tape vibe!
I love this plug! Everything from hifi tape warmth to beat up cassette static are available. There are some really neat slapback delay sounds as well. Works wonders on everything you put through it, drums, guitars, keys, vocs etc... it really warms things up when working in the box, especially on digital sources. I've spent a little time on a real Studer tape machine, and allthough its not spot on, it really is as good of a tape emulation you will ever find.

Analog digitally (is possible)
This plugin brings the analog sound experience into the digital domain!! Love the quality and the presets are perfect 2 start with.
I use the Ampex in combination with Precision Multiband Plug-In and the Precision Maximizer on the Apollo Twin Dual in the live set up. In this way my output is ready 2 go!! A soundcheck is only a matter of gain in the FOH console.
In the studio I use the Ampex on the input channel recording analog instruments.
Easy 2 use and awesome result!

This is my Go To Reverb on Vocals and Snares!
This reverb has an amazing sound, I love to use it on Vocals and Snares, the presets are a great starting point and the quality is nothing shy of UAD excellence!

What can a say!
This is the classic compressor. It is necessary in all studio situations. Sounds smooth, distorts as it is meant to and colours correctly. I always use uad rather than other brands as it really is the best sound.

GREAT
Thanks UA for this killlllllllllller upgrade! No joke, this plug is a must have buss compressor if you are on UAD-2. The LF side-chain filter is the big ticket on this plugin. The overall sound of the 670 is beautiful and warm, but the LF side-chain filter allows you the kind of control over the low-end that we didn't have before in the Fairchild 670 MKI. With the MKII upgrade, you are able to control exactly what frequency the compressor begins working at, allowing you to hit it harder without inducing compression pumping. When I set out for a buss compressor, I needed one that covered all my bases stylistically, not just rock, not just acoustic. The Fairchild Pluging Collection (MKII upgrade) does that, and extremely well.
