Great sounding with a fast workflow
No only is a great sound plugin but offers me a great and quick workflow which I rarely get from other channel strips
J. Rice
not my go-to, but still handy to have in the toolbox
i use this plug on more subtle instruments & voc. i would reach for the LA-2 or the 1176 most of the time, before i use the Fairchild, but still has it's place.

this thing sounds great on everything
hard to say which plugin is the "best purchase" but this is def top-5 for me. i use it on almost all instruments. very pleased

Great Sound!
These plugins open up a superb amount of colour possibilities. They sound really organic and real.
Highly recommend.

Sounds good
Very efficient preamp. So nice on drums, I recommand.

Good On Guitar Busses
Got this for smoothing and evening out L/R balances of guitars on stereo busses. Does that perfectly. I preferred it to the Waves version which I found to be a little grungier.
Also useful on the occasional vocal.

DSP Hog
Awesome emulation, Possibly prefer the UAD SSL over the Waves and API. Lindell 500 series, is a getting closer to the real thing.

Fairchild Collection: So far so good!!!
This comp sounds great, but I admit it's not one of those units you master in a day. Need to really spend some time with time constants. That switch makes a huge difference in what the comp is doing.

Very impressed
I've never used any physical API gear but was impressed with the demo so went ahead a bought
It during the Black Friday sale. Definitely worth it - lots of bite, the preamp emulation, even with the eq flat really adds some bite to electric guitars when recording. Like the Neve Unison strips, it is DSP heavy, but track through it and be confident to going to sound great.

Adds something to my low end that I like
I will certainly use this plugin regularly as the saturation type sound it adds to my low end particularly, is pleasing.

Everything you heard about it is true
This is a great channel strip! And easy on cpu.
I can add a few on my apollo twin. Like it on drum busses, vocals, bass! I wouldn't demo this unless you got the cash to purchase it. It's that good

Incredible for tracking!
In the analog struggle for "which version of API?", this has turned out to be one or the most cost effective/great sounding options. I love using this in real time recording because it gives you that analog feel without the price. I don't consider myself an "in the box" type engineer, but UAD real time is the exception.
Bottom line... The API Vision Channel strip is fantastic. So many options and honestly, you could cover anything you need to with this single plug-in. I do also recommend grabbing the Neve 1073 plug too! These paired together on drums really give a nice flavor and form to everything. Its a good way to get that "glue" when tracking.

Great Fun!
I've only had the LA-3A for a short time, but it's so much fun. I tend to work in a fairly unsubtle fashion, and it's perfect for me, often with both knobs turned all the way up (I got that tip from watching one of the UA videos about the LA-3A). I find it's wonderful for lead guitar--especially one without much fuzz; it makes it really pop out. It doesn't work for everything I've tried it on, but it's great at helping a sound shove it's way through a noisy scenario. I resisted buying it for a long time, because it seemed so simple, but it's got something very interesting going on, especially when I push it pretty hard.

Absolutey Brilliant
The API Vision channel strip is superb for tracking as a Unison plug through the Apollo console and I find myself using it more than any standalone EQ I have in my arsenal when mixing too!
Out of the park.
Awesome.

Very nice one
Very nice plugin, preamp sounds great, very musical filters. Eq is a one of my favorite modelled analog eq's out there.
It's a bit to much DSP eating i think (quad setup)
A. Gorman
La-3a and guitars!!
Great plugin version of a classic. My go to for guitars and occasionally it ends up on a vocal..
Gotta say I'm looking forward to a MkII and a bigger GUI!
A. Edenroth
Pure control
Holds my vocal tracks together without too much coloring.
B. Calmon

J. Medina
Sonido 1176 real
Estoy sorprendido de lo fiel que son estos plugins comparándolos con mis unidades hardware.
Da miedo lo que puede conseguir la gente de UAD hoy en día con sistemas digitales. Impresionante.

Impresionante
Me parece impresionante como suena el preamp API con mi u87.
Todo el canal es genial. Es justo lo que se espera del sonido API. Ni más ni menos.
