Route 76 Heaven!
I am new to the UAD party, I finally jumped onto the ship and I am happy I did! This collection was the first I wanted to demo, I have been lucky enough to intern in studios that have the Blue and Black face 1176's and could see first hand how they react in real life and mostly importantly the sound. I have to say these plugins react in my opinnon exactly how I remember! I had the Waves CLA and sold those once Slate released his 76 style plugin. The Slate was the closest so it became my go to for drums and bass, but after demoing this collection I bought them. I can not stress how much of a difference these 3 compressors make on an instrument, just buy them already!

One word is beautiful.
I started with the 1176 collection and moved on to the amazing LA-2A and now i am trying to wrap my mind around this beast. Such beautiful stuff, both the GUI and the sound. Really creamy sound!

The main reason I bought an Apollo
was to have these virtual API pre's for recording my electronic instruments. I love having the gates too = makes for creative tracking. I took 3 months trying to decide between the NEVE and the API and ended up choosing the API because it has more treble options on the EQ and has the gate. Also you can conserve processing by turning off the components that you aren't using. It sounds like a real API.

Great for bass
This is one of my favourite bass compressors.
Pretty good for drum buss as well
Easy to use and definitely 'old school' tool.

A REAL POSITIVE TOOL.
I'm useing my dbx 160 on the kick, bass, and loving it on vocals. it seems to give me the kind of boost and punch that I like in these tracks I'm working on, and still making the the song feel warm.
a very welcome addition to my recordings indeed.

Top Notch
One of the most impressive plug-ins I've ever used. Even flat it adds such character and refinement to the sound, quite dope indeed

It's ok not great, and for the money so good at that
I sorta wish I could have my money back on this one. I regret buying it based on the hype, and not demoing it out. People talk about how smooth it is, but it's sorta brittle sounding to me, not very 3 dimensional nor round. I think the top sounds thin, and for low stuff the neve plugs are just straight up better. For the top, and brightening things up in a plug I would recommend the Maag, it's way better, furthermore the dsp usage on this thing is kinda monstrous. The upsides is, that the lowpass filter is pretty solid.

Top Tape Tracking Tool
This thing is powerful. I use it for drums mostly, but have used it on guitars and vocals too.
Sounds great when pushed into the reds on peaks. I try to aim for +1 or +2 on the meter with drums.
If you use the Ampex tape plugin, this is a nice compliment to that. Together they can really get an authentic vintage sound.
I've only worked with tape a handful of times, but this gives me the freedom to play with it and not worry about breaking anything.
Getting creative with this can also give you some cool effects!

my vita of reverbs until lexicon 224
I startet recording at home about 40 years ago.
My first reverb was a furman spring reverb, .... not bad
the second one was a Dynacord drp 16, that seemed in that times quite modern, but i had a terrible humm on the gear and didnt know how to get rid of, now i would know
third one was a Roland drv 3000, then tc electronics 3000.
But the lexicon makes the best and fullest Sound i have ever heard and justifies the very best rumors about it, since a normal musician never could get in the near of this Kind of gear without a Major deal.
But now we can
Yeah!!!.... Peace!!!!!

Great EQ
I love the sound of this EQ. It is very smooth on the top end and adds just the right amount of roundness and punch on the low end.

Just Brilliant!
Having used Slate VTM for some time I had heard a lot about this plug so obviously once I got on the UAD train it was essential I check it out. It going across all the tracks is where it is at. While I love the VTM still and it has a place being my 2buss tape The Studer has taken the individual tracks in spades. This plug brings so much to the sound you will find you need less compression and eq. So much to the point where you will be doing things like a real engineer and only using them as need be basis. Meaning rather than throwing a bunch stuff on tracks once you get things close to where you want them you really question if you need anymore! Great plugin and worth getting because it will be used every session which makes the cost worth

REVERB MAGIC
This reverb simply sounds amazing and is so simple to use just like the true unit, I have been able to see the real unit in action and it really is incredible to hear in person. The snare sounds and vocal sounds other engineers were able to pull off with the hardware was nothing short of amazing, demoed this bad boy out and was able to get the same colors, I had to buy it. This reverb has an openness that is simply not available anywhere else. Grab it demo it, you need to own it.

Sutíl Saturasion!!
Lo he usado en Buss master de Baterias.. y es muy bueno como realza los transientes agregando una pisca de saturacion... es genial!!!

One of my new favorites.
Can't really compare to the real thing as I've never used one, but I love this plugin. I love the sheen it gives at vocal by boosting a bit of 16k without making it harsh or thin. Also adds a nice subtle warmth to the low end without adding mud. Definitely a great buy. Even the legacy version is very good.
