Killer Classic and new flavors of Grey
These classic plugins are here to stay and you need it if you’re doing vocal and bass!! That’s just the beginning. I don’t know why I waited so long to upgrade!!
M. Malinovic
My favorite plugin
This plugin is amazing for the vocals and acoustic instruments.
F. St-Gelais
Nailed it
Absolutely flawless model of the original unit. Works wonders to widen and give mouvement to acoustic guitar and back vocal busses or to add that authentic “80’s touch” to software synths or guitars!
D. Priestland
Just what my vocal chain needed
Loving the 1176 collection. My vocal have never sounded better. No going back once you've tasted UAD plugins

Night and day from the legacy version
Massive improvement from the legacy version which I thought was already the best LA2A emulation around.
T. Wilson
Not bad at all.
This plugin is good if you are looking for a chorus effect.,
T. Wilson
Excellent plugin!!!
I, like a lot of the other comments now use this plugin on my master bus. The sound is very clean with out the harsh high end.

Sounds like an optical compressor should!!
All three of these have become my go-to compressors. The grey is especially good for my desired applications!!!
S. Heidemann
Fantastic!
As expected and better. Only wish the graphics/UI would be high-res and as beautiful as some of the other ones which are already retina-res.
F. Ramirez Rios
A MOST in every production!!
The level and compression on the voice has a magical effect in my final mixes, i'm very happy with this plugin, you must have this on your UAD plugin library.

The Special One
Fairchild is a special compressor. It kind of have more of everything. More color, more presence; more sound. In cases of what I call "dead source material", typically due to bad digital recordings and/or the sound of early softsynths with obvious weak algorithms, the Fairchild can bring such things to life. Thicken things up, but at the same time it can knock dynamic inconsistencies, as well as inappropriate resonant frequency responses, into place, in just the right way. In other words, this is not an invisible compressor. There's lots of color. Still it's got depth and transparency. But where the LA-2A is more sweet, the Fairchild is more agressive. Especially in the mid-range. And even more the 660. But all in a good and warm way. We're talking the old-school rock'n roll vibe. :)
As I've never tried the original hardware, I can only compare to the competition of other software models. Still I feel enough like a nerd on the Fairchild subject (as I almost have all of the other emu's, and I certainly sense a thin red line between all of them) to conclude the above; the very fairchild sound! I was therefore very excited to try out the UAD models. (I'm fairly new to the UAD game. (What took me so long? :))
Needless to say the UAD Fairchild package, beats the competition on fairly all the above parameters. And where the competition lacks, the UAD kicks in.
If one thing comes to mind, I was quite suprised that the UAD models seem slower in the Time Constants? Not that it sounds that much slower. Maybe just a bit? Maybe it's the metering that differs? Well, if the modelling of the tube technology is done right, such possible real world fluctuations should transfer right over. And as we're talking tubes, they oughta be slower than FET's anyway. So this makes me even more convinced this is the most precise modelling of real world. And it's prefectly convincing on real music. ;-)

Лучшее из лучших
Один из самых часто используемых плагинов, особенно rev A, вносит в звук тот характер, который потом как магнит притягивает внимание и слух.

Love It
I’ve been the proud owner of this plugin for a while and it’s amazing. It feels like the hardware (at least to me) and simply a wonderful tool. Thank you UAD!
