Pultec Eq
Nothing like it. If U need a boost or cut in frequency. Any instrument. From vocals, guitars, punch in your bass, murder death kill lo end. This is your UA PLUG. Very accurate response. Beast mode EQ. U gotta purchase this plugin. I promise U will not regret it.

The Right Complement to the Studer and Ampex Machines
Just like many folks before me, I thought that there was no room for improvement after buying the UAD tape machines. In fact, they have left my U-He Satin sitting virtual dust. However, Oxide is another flavor to add to the roster. It may look like a dumbed-down version of its older brothers, but it's not. It's simple to use, great sounding, and a *different* tone from the other two tape machine emulations. If you can't jump the gun for Ampex or Studer yet, this is a great way to get your foot through the door. And you get a discount for the other two plugins in the future.

Fat & LOUD
One of the few plugins I've ever audibly said "Wow" to. These plugins sound larger than life (and definitely larger than the box.) Very musical and colors any track beautifully. I find myself throwing these guys on a track often for just the color itself. They are also very loud, making it easy to bring a source up to volume without having to compress it to death. All 3 plugins sound great but very different, I find myself using the Gray and the LA-2 the most, especially the LA-2 for keeping transients intact but dynamics tamed. The LA2A collection does use a decent amount of DSP, however if you have a UA satellite you'll likely be fine. Best on Bass, Vox, Keys, Busses... (everything)

Must Have
The only "-" of the plugin is to not have a button to make it real & racked lol. Smooth, effective, amazing low end.

Must Have. The 4x4 of reverbs. From shorty verbs to amazingly space makers!

Another Great Fuggin' Plugin!!!
When I bought my Apollo 8 with the Quad Satellite and Twin Duo I was bummed out that missed my chance to buy the Roland Space Echo. Especially since I've been longing to obtain that particular plugin for awhile. But then comes along the Galaxy Tape Echo, which not only sounds exactly like the Space Echo, but behaves like it too! I ran a side by side test using my new Galaxy and the demo of the Roland version and they are exactly the same which is what I was hoping for. Now I'll be able to recreate those classic dub reggae effects in my mixes with that classic Roland sound. Thank you Universal Audio for another great fuggin' plugin!!!

Worth every penny
I use Apollo mostly for composing and preproduction at the moment and put the Studer in the master bus. The mix is soooo much better with Studer, much more natural, analog sounding, punchy. I am pretty sure that after my experience with Apollo and the plugins in the last weeks, they will be a part of real production of our next CD this year. Studer is THE sound for me.

Awesome!
UAD has done it again. I continue to be a very happy customer.

The tool that converts good to awesome!
After playing around with the legacy version of the EQP-1A a bit I decided to buy the entire collection. Now, I literally use them on every signal in my mixes. These plug-ins sound amazingly musical regardless of how hard you crank up the knobs. Its interface is simple (as is the original hardware's interface) and self-explanatory. Note that this EQ is not designed to surgically remove individual frequency responses but rather emphasize/cut back on certain frequency bands in a rather broad and musical manner. Bottom line: these are - alongside the 1176 compressors - my lonely-island, all-time favorite UAD plug-ins which I really use a lot.

Best Compressors on the Market
Nothing else to say - these are the BEST compressor/ limiters of ALL time!! Buy them ALL!

Tape Simplicity
Warm & punchy. Easy to use. The other are great as well, but this doesn't discourage me with all the buttons and knobs. simply a few knobs to find the sweet spot. Another winner from UA!!

Amazing Channel Strip - API Sound Quality
This one is a winner! Amazing warmth & pristine quality. Even the presets are on-point. UAD did it AGAIN with this plugin .Can't believe its a plugin . Again, hardware quality with a fraction of the cost. Great color, clarity , warmth and punch - this thing sounds amazing!

Manley Quality at a UA Price
I used to own the Manley Core hardware. No lie, this pre sounds as good as the hardware. Definitely a worthwhile investment. Another homerun for the UA team. These plug-ins are worse than a crack addiction - not that I know, but just take my word... AND my money LOL

Another amazing Manley plugin
The Vari-Mu and Massive Passive plugins are my favorite plugins during mastering, the new VOXBOX plugin, after testing it extensively, has become my favorite plugin on lead vocals. It's basically all you need to make a vocal sit perfectly in the mix. The compressor is smooth and versatile, as it has a lot of attack/release options. The gain, when pushed, adds some extra character, just perfect! The de-esser is smooth and very effective in my experience, I have not found a de-esser plugin that sounds as natural as this one. The EQ section is smooth and can shape a vocal to taste. UA and Manley did it again, what an amazing plugin!

Wonderful Channelstrip
Until now i used the API Channelstrip for my voiceover jobs. But i have to say the Manley Voxbox ist now my everyday-Strip.
I like the colour that it adds and i like the eq very much. Especially the middle-section to cut out - very subtile - the mud.
All in all it sounds very warm and brings my voice to another level - great job UA!!!

This is the one!!!
I wanted this one instandly, it's my 'to go' compressor. It glues and fattens up my mixes, i use it a lot!
M. Spaans
Love it!!!
It 'tighten' up my 'in the box' mixes and gives them a natural feel. Love it!!! Going to buy oxide for individual tracks and busses to save some precious DSP on the sharc's.

WOW!!!
Thank you UA for taking what was already a bad a** plug, and giving it a more modern set of features. The side chain just opens this beast up! Huge detailed sound.

Excited About This!
This has it all; tone, character, and ease of use. Oh Yeah, did I mention it sounds stunning. 14 day trial is simply not long enough, so how would you like my money...Cash, Credit, or Debit? Either way you're gonna take this money, cause I can't go on living without my Manley Voxbox. Manley is Great, but Universal Audio is Awesome! I'm serious...Take my money!!!!

STUDER A 800
It's Insane not to use it. As a former "Hit Factory" Using reel to reel and 499 2' inch tape in comparison this comes as close as you can get.
