Best way I've found for getting vocals & bass into DAW through Apollo. De-esser is great on vocals.

Un bon compromis !
A la rechercher d'un compresseur autre que le 1176 et LA2A Legacy, fourni d'origine avec la Twin Duo, je me suis penché sur celui-ci car je trouvai qu'il était en terme sonore, un bon compromis.
Il apporte une belle présence, tout en augmentant l'effet 3D, ceux qui le rend parfait pour les voix, par exemple ou la guitare acoustique mais il ne s’arrête pas là car que ce soit, sur une piste drums ou même sur un auxiliaire après une reverbe, il apporte son charme et sa présence.
Un bon choix.
Petit bémol tout de même sur la GUI, assez petite fenêtre, peut être un problème pour les personnes ayant des difficultés oculaires.

The first real API-2500 Plugin
I used other API-2500 Emulation plugins before,but none of them works that extraordinary well as the new UAD API-2500. Congratution UAD! Excellent Sound, nice shaping, character, excellent glue on the mixbus. On of my top favourite Plugins. I am very happy with the plugins in v9 AND that Console 2.0 is there Finally for Apollo Firewire.

"That awesome Tape Sound...": ALSO FOR ON YOUR MASTER TRACK!!!
I Love this one! It is a successful emulation of a famous Studer multitrack recorder and with the many options it has I can sculpt the my mix-tracks exactly to my taste. "Tape" does something other plugins can not achieve (so easily) and the Studer A800 is my new favorite, next to the Ampex ATR-102 of course ;-). I use other tape emulations from Waves and Slate as well, but lately I find myself going for the "UA twins" first :-). Don't forget to try it on your master-track as well; you'll be surprised with the MOJO it can add to your overall mix!

API 2500 inside my Mac :)
UA have done it again, and I'm glad to stand by UA as a long time user of UAD plugins. They nailed the API EQ's, and now they've nailed the compressor. Love the familiar grab, punch and VCA / OpAmp tone of the API 2500. Scary close to an actual 2500, and I look forward to using this new beast in my hybrid chain followed by the API 5500 analog EQ. Well done UA!

Must Have
Awesome sounding compressor.

The best
Not only amazingly smooth and silky, but tightens and pulls a mix together, simply by being on the mixbus

Must have!
It is as good as they say! I understand why this is so popular! Very musical reverb for basically any type of instrument and vocal application.

Brilliant
As the owner of many 201's over the years this emulation is spot on. I use it on everything where needed.
Great work lads.

Muito bom, top master.
Eu usei só uma vez, porque estou tendo problemas de áudio com meu Windows 7 pra rodar a apollo twin usb.3.0, estou trocando tudo em meu not Asus, i7 pra acabar com os bugs pra eu curtir minha nova apollo, mas os plugins são e tudo mais são da mais alta classe.

Did not work sound good to my ears
I tried this plug in several different setting on vocals (both tracking and in post) and I just could not get it to behave or sound right. At descent settings, it was muddying/smearing the input vocals in a way that I can not call good. I do not know what the original hardware sounds or behaves like but, if it's the same way this plug is behaving, then this is not a tool I can use for any real work. The Legacy Compressors lilke the 1176 is arguably the most realistic comp from UAD. It seems others have something about them that makes you wonder if these myriad of emulations really make any sense.

Clean and Nervous
I bought DBX160 a few months ago. I can say it won't go for all but it does it real great when it's in the ballpark !
I 've started using it with kick drum, for sure. It's fast and punchy. I've used it too, the way Andrew Scheps does : as a common parallel compressor for kick and snare. This sounds great !
Used with some vocals, or guitars, you will like or not, depending on results you're looking for. DBX160 is versatile but it has his own and strong character. Easy to use and tweak I can say immediately if I keep it or sack it from the track. This is a real good comp to go.

Subtle but really efficient
This studio D Chorus (or Dim' D Rolland, no matter how it's branded...) sounds real great. Don't take it for extreme wide panning guitar doubler or helter-skerter chorus feel, you would be disappointed with it. But if you look for some discrete and efficient tool, you're at the right place. It displays subtle FX which helps to sit a track in a mix and give it some shine and a real place without overflow.
I like to use it on a mono track, with keyboards for instance, when i don't want to use a stereo track. It brings life and a real feeling of space though it remains mono.
Last but not least, I think audio demos really don't highlight its qualities because settings and and choices of uses are too outrageous. Don't stop there and give a try in demo mode for a few days.
