Behind the times
While this is an absolutely AMAZING reverb, I'd much rather be using it in Pro Tools 11 64bit AAX for Windows.....

BRILLIANT!
This is probably my most used plugin of all.
It goes first on almost every channel strip for that subtly warm thick tape sound.
K. Flowers
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've always been a fan of UAD and API , and yet again they have over done themselves. This channel strip has turned my vocal tracking into some thing speical. The pluggin is so transparent, the gate doesen't chop off my sound and let's not even begain on the EQ. Over all this plugin is 1 of my top 10 go to pluggins for me.

Upgrade path to hell
So I got this plugin. Won't work on my system because you must have the latest OS which means a new Mac new interface and new UA hardware as all the FireWire shit has changed. I think I have decided to say fuck off to UA and this upgrade hell. To use this plugin will cost about 5 k. I could possibly get a real one and it would always work. This one won't. Not worth it anymore. Let's see useless PCMCIA card, useless FireWire 800 UAD 2 that is about as reliable as an old Fiat and an Old Mac Pro with UAD 1 cards. Most useless audio gear I have ever collected. Goodbye to UA crap!
You asked for a review you deserve worse

Excellent sound quality
Like most people, I've never had the good fortune to use a real Fairchild, but I've certainly auditioned my fair share of plug-in emulations of this iconic compressor/limiter. The new collection has that special something that just sets it above every other emulation/model I've worked with and there's no way I can ever go back!

The go-to voiceover plugin.
I do TV news voiceover, which has to cut through, and I also travel a lot, meaning I work in a lot of different environments. The combination of the compression, gating and EQ on this plug is fantastic. Have been a UA fan for years, and the API is the frosting on a very sweet cake!

sounds great!
definitely worth the money spent. the sounds compared to others is much better.
it also saturates when driven and that is exactly what i needed from it.
great on drums, vocals, bass etc...

Beautiful Hardware
This software version of the Leveler is so faithful to the original. I am so glad that I purchased it.
P. Jonsson
Awesome
Just used it tracking bass - and man what a feeling... And listening back... what can I say: Awesome
S. Cooley
Great sound and feature packed
I dig it, good going in on Apollo, great going out of the Daw
Covers a lot of territory

New Fairchild great for adding the " Special " Sauce
Adds the special stuff even if you don't touch the knobs.
The new control layout really speeds up the adjustment possibilities
for getting your sound just like you need it.
The old version was a favorite and this one
cranked it to eleven

LA-2A collection, must have
As the legacy version of this was a got to have on many of
my tracks I did not think it could really be that different on the
new collection of these to warrant the expense.
I was mistaken, these have a great sound and expand the options
for coloring quite a bit.
Thanks UA

Big step up from the Legacy
I demoed these recently and will be buying very soon! I still love and use the Legacy 1176LN but this new collection is definitely a big step up sonically. Just like the LA2A collection, having the three options makes this collection super versatile. Best 1176 emulations I've heard.
R. Sheridan
Best emulations by far!
Bought these as i wasn't convinced by other companies emulations, Best decision ever!!! the AE model is my favourite of the collection its a go to for most things
Great job UA!!!
A. Patrois
Incredibly authentic
I admit I haven't used more than iteration of the LA2A, so the different versions i cant speak for. however; The one I am familiar with, sounds perfect, using the same pre, going into a real LA2A into the apollo using a true system precision 8, one real, one emulated, mic splitter, accurate down to the sample. Pretty incredible.

When virtual become real !
The same sound and precision as the hardware, nothing more to say !

Brings back so many memories
I used to use this hardware when I played in bands years ago and the sound is just as I remember it.
Great plugin

Wicked Simplicity
Radically different is going to be hard to come by in this day and age however, in my newest mixing endeavor I find this unit to be exceptional. I now work for the Pure Momentum Network mixing down hours of talk shows everyday and while dealing with a variety of signals this unit entertains my need for something interesting and does the job of managing the dynamics of a conversation like nothing else. I like some attributes of the LA-2A for telephonic applications due to it's dark nature, Sometimes I like the brighter character the 1176, the versatility of the Fairchild..but, this unit adds an upper 4th octave boost and a slight "gravel" or tube like character unique to the LA-3A which equals wicked simplicity for me.

Not Even an Expert Can Tell the Difference from Hardware and Plugin
This in combination with the a 1176LN vocals never sounded so perfect vintage quality, hip hop vocals never sounded so great thanks UA
