This one surprised me
Have to admit wasn't expecting much out of this when I got it with my apollo, but I've been pleasantly surprised, sounds juicy in the low end, adds nice body to the mids and gives a slight lift to the highs, dsp hit is good too, I'd give it four and a half stars if I could, but five for exceeding expectations.

Favourite 2500 plugin version
The api 2500 is one of my favourite bus compressors, excellent for shaping, making drums especially punchy and bringing out the room tone in creative ways, I’ve tried a few different plugin versions, waves, sk note (which I love), Softube American class a (which is excellent but limited controls in console 1).
Uad version is my favourite yet, doesn’t quite capture the sense of space for whatever sound you send it like the hardware, but it’s close, also like the tone of the hardware slightly more, but the compressor action is superb. Find the dsp hit to be reasonable, overall happy with my purchase.

Morbo is pleased
So far I am pleased how this sounds, I have used it to give more depth and width to synth pads and string sounds. My results on other like bass have been good but I could live without. Had good result with backing vocals on the other hand. Can not tell how it compares to the original as I've never owned it however it is doing some material good and it's a keeper in my future projects.

I just love the color this machine brings....

very transparent and usefull -
a lot of times I want to use copm/limiter and regret due to the additional characteristics that influence the sound 2 much. the L3A is like looking in a mirror. WYSIWYG with additional soft warmth.

nice color
The fairchild is always a colorful option. I got to test it on 2-3 trarcks.
the results are sometimes 2 aggressive.

More versatile than you think.
My favorite thing to use the 2500 on is BGV's. There is just something about it.

API, Great Sound
It works great, on all busses and instruments, that‘s what I missed.
G. Funes
Amazing!
Incredible hardware emulation. I was lucky enough to use one in a studio where I worked for several years and it's amazing how good and consistent they sound. It is used for everything, it gives a touch of magic to everything that passes through it.
V. German
The best compressor for the master bus
Unprecedented sound quality. Flexible compression adjustment and response to each channel separately. Very precise operation of the compressor. Thrust detector above all praise.
Won on the Neve 33609 bus master.

Analogue chorus benefits without the hiss. Great on DAT SYNTH.
UAD seem to have pulled together an analogue chorus feel in a digital medium, there's no harsh edges to the modulating effect. The big benefit of digital being the lack of any unwanted noise. The vibrato is a vibrato but on guitars this would not be my go to. This is more of an aesthetic than the quality of the effect on offer. Both effects sounded great on synths. Of note there's something really nice going on with the gain, a very subtle tonal thing (not just volume!). The only reason it lost a star was there is no wet/dry mix feature. Good stuff UAD.

AMAZING
This Tube Pre sounds amazing! I use it more than I use the Voxbox its self. I would recommend this Pre many times over.

2500 buss compressor
I thought waves had a good one until I got uad. Man there is a big difference in them. Uad has better quality and punch. Keep up the great work. 2022

Super versatile!
I used to struggle finding the right reverbs that sounded subtle and natural, but yet still audible and musical. Enter, the Pure Plate Reverb. I had no clue I’d be able to refer to ONE plug-in for about 90% of my reverb work on my tracks. You have a wet/dry knob with the option of going “wet solo”. You can even then shape the frequency even further with low cut options to make your effect cut through the mix even more! Being able to tweak the pre-delay AND reverb time is a life saver. So far, the Pure Plate Reverb hasn’t sounded bad on any source I’ve used it on: drums, guitar, piano, vocals… knocks other reverbs out of the park easily. Thank you Universal Audio!

Nice chorus
Sounds pretty nice to my ears. I'm using Fractal gear for guitars for now, but will be considering whether UAD is competitive via combining few effects and an amp.
