Magic
There is not enough good one can say about this thing. It does wonders on individual tracks—especially bass guitars, and it brings the high end to life on the master chain. I don't think I've once left it out of my master chain since purchasing it—there are so many flavors that it can enhance just about anything one can send through it.

Tambourine for days...
So far so good, really enjoying this. Have used it on everything from the 2 bus to tambourine!

Mix Miracle!
The ability to use an emulation of this quality on every track is truly a luxury! For a fraction of the cost of just one of these hardware units, you get three incredibly usable plugs. I use them on just about everything and they never let me down.

API Vision
The API Vision is outstanding if you only used the mic pre with Unison Technology. It makes your vox sound like they are recorded in a professional studio. Add to that the comp, eq, gate, and filters and this single plug in can do most everything you need. The sound quality is simply amazing.
Great job UAD!

Teletronix LA 2A Classic indeed
Just last week I had a chance to hear the hardware version of these plugs. I am in awe of how UAD captured the subtleties of these classic limiting amplifiers. When used in conjunction with a Unison technologies 610 series the end result is simply astounding.
It is a very exciting time town UAD products!

STELLAR
Absolutely stellar, of course! Sounds warm and thick. I still like the legacy version for brighter shaping, but this series is perfect for adding some vintage or realistic tone to cold soft synths or drum samples!

Teletronix is just AMAZiNG
These plugins are just so great and add to my mix down in a way that few if any other vendor I have used can match. The Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection is a must have to any real producer that knows what theses can do to a mix.

Fairchild plug in Is almost the real thing
After using a real Fairchild and then having the UAD Fairchild plugins i would have to say these plugins are so close to the real Fairchild only someone that has had the experienced the real Fairchild and extensive time using will know each has its own warmth and will believe Universal Audio has duplicated this in the plugin. I highly recommend this plugin.

3 flavours of the masterpiece
If you're already on the UAD ship then you've surely fell in love with the Legacy LA2A.
This new collection brings new colors and timing subtilities to it.
But what really makes the difference for me is the emphasis knob.
Now you can really get the plug to respond as you wish frequency-wise.
Downside is that you'll have to try them all at first until you can hear and learn on what materials the differences of the 3 shines best.
But hey, those are just 3 knobs units !
I have to admit that it took some time for me to spend the cash on this collection as opposit to the 1176 who was an insta-buy...
...now all i can say is : 5 stars ! (again)

Massive tool
What could i say that haven't been already written about the MP ?
For me it's just the best soft EQ to treat med frequencies.
Vocals and piano would be the best sources to try it on.
Sometimes this EQ might not "work" on a track.
But when it works, no other EQ i've tried with can do the same.
There is a learning curve to this EQ and i'm not sure i've worked enough so far to fully appreciate it.
But whatever, it's just brilliant !
5 stars

Here comes the sun!
I.ve always loved the Lexicon reverbs. Been a happy amateur in a studio for almost fifteen years. When I opened the Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb Plug-in.... The Sun was shining.... and I started smiling..... It's got great presets and it's easy for an amateur to use. Best Reverb plug-in I've ever used. This one is absolutely worth the money!!!

Spectacular!
Amazing EQ. It imparts beautiful color to your sound but remains a great tool. Now it is fixed on my master bus and often used for lead vocals.
E. Portugal
All sorted!
Modern, fat, precise, big, versatile all-in-one plug-in. Whenever I have to deal with a fast job, I load the API Vision Channel Strip up on all tracks and soon enough everything is sorted! Love it..

Great EQ
I love this EQ. You can add just the right amount of "air" to the top, sweeten the midrange in just the right way, create some really cool filter sounds, etc... It will sound good if not great on just about everything.

My Favorite Software Compressor
This plug-in imparts a very nice character onto tracks and sounds amazing. It's my favorite compressor plug-in.

That Certain Something...
Want to sound great. Use great tools. This set of plugin is great.
None of the modern "all bells & whistles with infinite possibilities" stuff here. Just well designed sonic charecteristics when nulled and a well defined set of freq's that it controls.
Gives every track I use them on, especially acoustic guitar and vocals (but everything, really) that "classic" studio sound.
Like the hardware units I've used for the 40yrs I've been producing/composing/mixing, I couldn't live without these plugins in any modern mix that needs classic analog warmth and character.

excellent emulation
I have got an analog emulation of the pultec (A-design EM-PEQ2). The plug sounds very near, with more headroom and less distortion. Maybe the distortion of the EM-PEQ2 adds some very rich treble to the signal, but it may be undesirable on some audio
L. Gibbs
The 1176 collection was an easy decision...
The AE is becoming my favorite vocal mic. The 2:1 ratio is nice. The 3 different varieties is nice also. Demo it at your own risk!

This is Fantastic..
This is Fantastic.. I used this plug-in everytracks

Pultec - the one and only
Heard a lot about the Pultec, and since I've never worked with a real Pultec EQ, it's a bit difficult for me to draw any conclusions whether as to this version is spot-on, or just a nice try. I have however tried some of the other "based-upon" alternatives, and I must say that this UAD version just sounds better. I dont know if the real thing sounds like this or not, but I dont really care either, because this package delivers a really really good sound. It's amazingly easy to get a solid bottom-end without going over the top, and it's just as easy to isolate the high frequencies without getting too fizzy. This is a package, that'll get a lot of mileage in my setup!
