Nice channel strip for vocals
Just started using the API channel strip on vocals and the sound is nicely focused and easy to EQ. I still have to try it as an Unison plug but I expect the result to as good as what I hear mixing with it. Not familiar with the hardware version so can't compare but really happy with the soft-version.

Great Lexicon sound
The Lexicon 224 sound in a fantastic plugin from UA. I do mostly vocals and use the 224 extensively in my everyday work. 5 Stars.

Lexicon 224 Reverb PlugIn
I've tried both Lexicon 224 and RMS 16 on vocal tracks. Although I liked RMS 16 too, but I purchased Lexicon 224 because it's capable of creating much more detailed reverb tail and definition. It is a great reverb plugin!

Butter
This is a super smooth set of EQs. You set the EQ and almost don't realize how much work it is doing until you bypass it for comparison. Warms up your low end very nicely and can control how much bite the high end has in the mix. The boost in the lows sounds amazing on cello specifically. It is my go-to plugin to add a little spice/warmth to a dead-sounding track.

Worth it.
I have the Ampex however to be honest stretching for the Studer also really seemed a far stretch. I was dubious at first as its not as flexible as the Studer however the simple fact is it sounds good and the price is good. I work in a place with old unused Studer machines in many of the Studios, modern digital remodelling although not quite so perfect to their emulations is so close its not worth, for the average person, shelling out. Just like 70mm film not everyone can do it as its so expensive, but a good movie on digital is still a good movie. This is a good tape emulation to enjoy using.

A Must Have
You spent a lot of money for your DSP Card?
Buy this plugin is a must.
This is THE COMPRESSOR for any channel (or better a limiter) from the company that made the original, do i have to say more?
D. Weal
Amazing plugin (review plus a little tip).
The filters on this thing are amazing! It's magic! The compressor and limiter are also among the greatest I have used! My top is to run plugins through waves q clone to see what the compressor/plugin does to the signal and my God does this do a lot. Cuts crap out and boosts where you want it. Try q clone!

Excellent!
As I've come to expect from UA, nothing short of exceptional. Another great sounding emulation of a classic. That snap and vibe have been captured beautifully. Highly recommended.

DBX160 compressor plug-in
Very easy to use with its three knobs. Great on acoustic guitar. Amazingly close to the original Hardware unit. One of the best all purpose compressor plug-ins I've owned.

Mix Beast
Well, I now an have an idea what black magic that goes on in the mastering suite ;)
The way the passive bands interact allows you to sculpt the mix in a way I've never experienced before. Even with overlapping bands at the same frequency at full gain, it still sounds rounded and maintains it's spacial detail.
Sure, I've never used a real one, so can't say how it compares to the hardware, but I'm blown away by the analog weight this provides.
This thing is an absolute beast and totally lives up to the hype.

quel son !
j'adore, beaucoup mieux que la version legacy, rien a voir!
d'ailleurs pourquoi fournir la version legacy avec les uad 2 (d'origine dans toutes les offres) puis faire un prix (50%) pour l'upgrade vers la version "collection"! etrange!
bref j'aime beaucoup, belles couleurs de compressions, et ce petit "emphasis" qui manque tellement a la version "legacy",.
je les utilse trés souvent(attention un peu gourmand en cpu!)

LA2A Satisfaction
I had fallen in love with the 1176 that I had been using from UAD previously on Vocals,bass and drums!I wasn't ready for the sound and power of the LA2 leveler collection!Thank you UAD team!!I'm a happy Chappy !
M. Krämer
just classic
works on almost every source. Use it espacially on vocals, sounds great. Just turn the knob for peak reduction and bring up the gain, very simple to use - powerful tool!
A. Sitton
Just the best plugin emulation!
This plug-in is awesome! I have the Universal audio 6176 and it is amazing how close the compressor plug-in is. What's even nicer with the plug-in collection is now I have several different 1176 modeled editions which makes it very useful for all types of material. This is a must in your toolbox.

Sweet
It amazed me from the second I loaded it on to an acoustic guitar track! It fit like a glove and imparted a natural gut sound that I never knew could be captured! Sweet!
Thanx UAD!
A. Sitton
LA2A Wonderful!
This is by far the best LA2A plugin emulation on the market. I like the analog vibe these plugins add to my tracks! This is a must have for Vocal's, Bass, Guitar, and just about anything you throw at it.
J. Copeland
Nice. And really versatile
Love this plug does something different then the others with very little effort
A. Sitton
Just Amazing!
What a great plugin! The channel strip is very clean with a little analog warmth. I think it has one of the best gate and compressor I ever used on a channel strip. I also like the idea you can turn off parts of the channel strip to conserve DSP power. I also love the idea of tracking with this plugin using the new Unison Technology with my new Apollo 8 black face thunderbolt unit. Great Job UA! keep them coming. I would highly recommend this plugin.
