Opal Morphing Synthesizer — Rich noise generators
UA nailed this synth. I was shocked by the oscillators and how good the filters were. The wave tables are top notch and the modulation, mod matrix, and visual cues provide excellent workflow while designing patches. For this price you get something that sounds like a dedicated hardware unit! Rich and powerful tones plus good depth of configuration. You can even get musicality from the resonance filter and fold square waves. I love it. Perfect for EDM and sound design. The effects are remarkable and of quality— very well designed.

I'm having tons of fun with this plug. Used it on various things like keys, vocals and drums. Works great on parallel as well. It's gives so much more depth to anything I add it to, in a way I cannot easily achieve with anything else. Very cool.

Wonderful sounding "Sound City" Plug-in...
I really like this plugin from UAD! The sounds really enhance the properties of the rooms, mic's and over all tones from the instruments, I'm primarily a guitarist so I'm looking for genuine guitar tones, either Mic's, IR, Direct or Modeling, that "realizm" that most musicians demand. I'm in the studio [session musician livelihood] about everyday and I was looking for a plugin of this quality, not just a replication of a room but where UAD actually took the time to "Model" every variable. I was using [from time to time] a program model after a famous Hollywood Recording Studio, that was more process sounding than an actual room. So far after a few days of critical listening and with the help of a few industry engineers, my results are Amazing!!! The CPU from my experience, is a little more than some plugins, but the few on submixes are reading around 28% and that's with tracks filled, and my RME buffer size at 64 Samples [latency] extremely low, 8 core 32gigs of ram, my computer runs solid. Very pleased with this product!

Great reverb
Perfect on a bus and gently send half of all tracks in to! Warm and dark like I like them!
M. Jansson
Outstanding
Put this wide on all my tracks with just a hint of saturation. Magic!

realism,
First of all, the greatest advantage of this RAVEL piano is its quick response. I'm not talking about your DAW's buffer size or other latency settings. The software itself reacts super quick. * i.e. It reads out the samples very fast. That's why you feel so good playing on it and it sounds so natural; It's almost like playing a real Steinway. Steinway is known being particularly “direct” and “quick” among many pianos.
In parallel, the quality of the recording / sampling is also worth mentioning. It captures the subtle nuances of the hammering attack, the presence of the ultra-low (no longer “sound”, but rather kinetic energy) that only pianists can feel. And you even have the resonances of the “bell” resonator, unique to the Steinway piano.
However, alas, to be honest, I have some frustrations, too ;
1 - algorithmically added / controlled resonances, such of strings, casting frame or resonance board are too much and there is no parameters to decrease the level….. (no, no. It’s not “room echo” you’re talking about, mate !!)
Those too remaining resonances are disturbing when you need subtil half pedal expressions, in particular.
Of course such sounding piano does exists. But if me, I might say “well, the damper is tired. We need to call a piano tuner (!)….”
2 - strange dull rumbling and persisting noises added intentionally as long as the damper pedal is engaged. It is obvious this was added for more “realistic” pedal resonance but too much and “too long”. And still no control for its duration or for it’s level………
In spite of such not-so-appreciable points, and though I am quite sure that our Universal Audio’s perfectionist pals will give us great news soon, I stay one of happy users of this remarkable software piano, yes, quite surely.

Go to mastering comp!!!
This sounds good!
You know instantly if you're gonna click with stuff.
For me ,this is a glue machine.
I have a lot of outboard of all types and I love the ease of getting a good thick sound from this.
Not a finaliser but helps build a good loud master

Beautiful chorus
Really nice on clean guitars
M. Jansson
Great compressor
Perfect to add in the recording chain for vocals, guitar, bass etc.
M. Jansson
Smooth and easy to use
Very smooth sounding bus compressor. Works like a charm together with the API channel strip.

Fantastic…. But we need console version
This plugin is stellar. The room emulation, all the modules, the verb, compressor, Dolby A trick…. love it…. But the biggest reason I use UAD as a guitarist and engineer, is to be able to print things in tracking stage with console. Im not sure why this plugin was only released in Native. I could really benefit from tracking through it. I’ll be the first to change to a 5 star review if a console version gets released.

Manley VOXBOX--Great to have the preamp--Other controls too small in the GUI
Looked in vain for an option to view it in different sizes. I own a real hardware version of the VoxBox, and I can hear the characteristics in the preamp simulation. So bravo on the sound, but I know I'll shy away from using the expanded capabilities until there's an option to look at it larger.

Incredible package - the sale price beats everything!
Try it! You'll like it!
Hard to find any weaknesses - a top of the line professional studio in the computer.
C. Achilli
Mellow and sweet
I think it's a great plugin software, I use it a lot in tracking to keep voices and acoustic guitars under control. The equalizer works very well And it is very kind, as well as the de esser and compression. Generally it's really easy to do gain staging and I think I'll use it a lot in the future.

Punch City!!!
It’s my new favorite compressor on mix bus and drum bus for sure! Only complaint is that I had been wanting this plugin for a while. I waited for Black Friday/ Cyber Monday and got it for $150 as it was “on sale.” A week later it went on sale for $39. I paid 5 times as much
