3 flavors of LA2A
These plugin sounds so incredible. I rarely used the legacy LA2A but this plugin is essential. And the ability to access three different flavors of LA2A is quite unique. UAD keeps raising the bar with every new plugin.

Amazing Fairchild sound with a mix knob
Using parallel compression is awesome, but setting it up in pro tools native is often problematic. Using the mix knob on this fairchild plugin makes mixing quick and trouble free. This plugin sounds great on vocals, bass, drums, and stereo busses. So much attitude! Easily go from clean to dirty compression in seconds.

Most musical EQ ever!
Tried the demo and knew I would use this on every subsequent mix. Can be pushed hard or soft and always sounds so musical! The stepped knobs on the mastering version are priceless. So good!

Quite Incredible
This plugin is really fantastic. The preamp knob adds the api character I've often searched for in a plugin. And the gate works great on drums. Of course the EQ and compressor are great as well.

Pultec Rules
I love the new Pultes collection! Sounds very thick, very analog.

The Api Vision
The Api vision plugin is an exquisite piece of software. I notice how different the console sounds from all the other consoles such as the 88RS and the Harrison.
Each console has it own character and flexibility which gives me a wide choice in determining the type sound I want when mixing. The API channel strip vision brings it all to the table. It's very warm and brings a solid sound for jazz and R&B music. I love it love it love it.

Instant great drum sound
as an experiment I dropped these onto four clean channels/ Apollo pres when recording my drummer -- one mic in the kick drum, one above the snare and two ribbon overheads through a cloud lifter to the apollo. Wow -- it sounded fantastic immediately, just using the built-in presets. A very convincing take on an analog channel strip! Will be my go-to plugin for tracking drums from now on.

Better than the rest
I've demo'd and and owned quite a few eq plugins, including other putleq emulations. While other emulations are very good, the UAD package just sound closer to your source material. Where as some plugins feel like they are tacked on, these plugs envelope your sound and feel like they come from within.

Sounds Fantastic!
Having never heard a real Pultec I have no basis to say wether or not this unit is authentic but man, do they sound great! The bottom end is just fantastic and the high end is sweet. Finally nice to be able to hear what so many people have been going on about for all these years. Nice job UAD!

my 224 test
I put this plugin on a feature I mixed a while back just to test it against the plugs I was already using, specifically the Valhalla Room, Waves IR, and reverberate. While the IR based verbs fared better with things like realistic rooms and such, the Lex really did a great job on the more musical types of reverbs I put in for some of the effect tracks. My next test was with a song my partner was producing. We tested it against the Valhalla Room, Spark Verb, the stock Waves and Avid verbs, and the 2CAucio algorithmic verbs. It fared very well in all matchups. While it can't do what the 2Caudio verbs or the Spark verbs can do, what it does it does VERY well. For a feature, when native resources are scarce, this is my go to verb now.

Warmest compressor ever !
I am always looking for adding some analog warmth to my digital sound as I use a big part of plugins and a few analog synth. The fairchild is probably one of the most colorful compressor, it has a lot of warmth, add more clarity and a pleasant distortion.
I like using it on vocal to give more punch, on drum buss to have a warm snare sound and on a bass sound for the distortion.
The upgrade is worth the 149$ or 99$ with a voucher if you are looking for a color in your sound. It works on almost everything.
The legacy version is not bad but the collection add more details and clarity.

1176 classic limiter
You simply got to hear it to believe it.Honestly, I heard so much about uad over the past few years but didnt believe the hype but let me tell you guys 1176 are awsome,
Cant wait to purchase more stuff.

Possibly the best ITB compressors
I demoed these a few weeks back and I pretty much bought them within an hour of demoing. Even when there's no compression happening, they just add body and clarity like I've never heard from another plugin. Beautiful, smooth compression and 3 options of attack and release make this collection a no brainer for anyone looking for opto style compression ITB. The only negative I could find is the level boost on initiating these plugs, but thats an easy fix, just make your own default preset!

Another win
I waited until my Apollo Twin came along, then jumped. My tracking world is changing. As an older guy whom fell in live with tape many years ago, I can now honestly say I close my eyes and I am back.
Thanks UA

the perfect channel strip
This plug-in is a dream. Weather I am using it with apollos unison technology for a vocal pre-amp or getting the right sound out of electronic drums, synth or bass, it works like a charm. If you are familiar with API and like their sound, I would recommend the API vision channel strip...

My prefered EQ
This is definitly my prefered Eq on every instruments. I use it all the time.
L. Fernandez
Fantastic
Incredible, if you prefer!!!
Those plugs are wonderful. I was searching for very good comp and i've purchased classic limiter plugin collection.
What can i say more than: Perfect.
I now use, just these ones for my tracks, my basses are so evil with that sound i was looking for.
And the other instruments are here on my mix , each one shining, not muddy, just shining.
Just like a spolight on each.
Thank you UA.
This work, again is perfect...
Fantastic!!!
