Get Pianoteq instead
Or maybe Keyscape if you can afford it (I e never tried it but it must be good at that price and it gets high ratings. Pianoteq is far better value for pianists - much more versatile and basically sounds better. Try both demos and you’ll agree. Ravel will appeal to the cinematic folk but not pianists. But as I say it is too expensive - ok at sale price though.

Surprisingly Faithful to the hardware
I have had the hardware 737 for many years in the studio. For those considering the hardware unit save your money, A/B this plugin and the difference to my ears anyways is so marginal that I recently just sold mine and leaning towards moving to in the box mixing and recording.

Tracking magic
This is the greatest channel strip for tracking. Put it in the unison spot (or not if you don’t want to commit). The gentle compression will sound transparent but stop overload and the tube harmonics are beautiful. Vocals, bass and acoustic guitar seriously shine.

Wonderful and versatile
This is a great compressor. It can be used very effectively on any source material. Drums (oh yeah) vocals (definitely) bass, guitar, synth etc. it’s like a fully customizable 1176 and la2a in one box. Bottom line it sounds fantastic.

Vocal Pre-amplification
Simple to use. I used it mostly for the pre-amp for vocal takes. It does wonderful on BVGs. Nice tube warmth up front.

Waterfail
Bought this so called waterfall effect but it sounds more like a bloody Lesley cabinet!

excellent timbre
Very good piano, the timbre is excellent; only problem is that the license only releases online.
K. Theron
EXCELLENT
Great options to have. The legacy unit is the one I reach for the most but EACH has its own flavor that can be helpful at times!!! Great emulations, thank you UA!!!

Versatile plugin
It comes with Spark which is perhaps better value. A great product where I got fast results without too much faffing about.

Irritating iLok cloud system
I really want to like this synth but although it worked whilst the trial version was still valid, the moment that expired it tells me I don't have a license even though I bought it and activated the license in iLok. It won't put the license on my computer, only in the iLok cloud. The same with PolyMax. Bought it, now can't use it and I have contacted UAD twice via their support page and have yet to receive a reply which has now been over a week. If I don't hear anything soon I shall be demanding a refund for both products....

The King Of All Pultecs
My first encounter with UAD plugins now that they are native and OMG, they do not disappoint. So pleased they have had a sale and made them affordable for me. This Pultec blows every other I own out of the water, so much so I have uninstalled the rest. Don't need them now I have the best.

Instant Gratification
If you need to track a source via a tube preamp with all the options you need, this does the job perfectly.

The Real Deal - Classic and Indespensible
Sounds just like the hardware. Another cracker from UAD.

Compression With A Real Magical Feel
If you are familiar with The Beatles' Revolver album, this is the compressor they slammed most sources through. It has an indescribable classic sound that is simply wonderful.

Classic EQ Perfection
This has all the musicality and sheen as the original. Beautifully simple and massively effective.

Perfect Tape
I have to echo the other reviews here and say i's certainly one of the best tape plugins I've used. If you set it right when live recording tracking on all sources, you get some wonderful classic tape artefacts that just transform digital recording into something special and wonderfully, classically, analog.

Bravo!!!
Hello,
I am sorry that I have not replied sooner with my review of my products, but I was too busy enjoying them!!
I have the Ox, the Opal, the Electra 88, the PolyMax, and the Waterfall B3.
All of these have exceeded my expectations and have become an integral part of my work. You have delivered extremely good audio products that are stable and immediately accessible through their well thought out interfaces. That is an amazing accomplishment and is the reason I will look forward to eventually buying more products from you.
Thanks and Bravo!!!
Dan
