Who said perfection is not of this world
Between the Avalon and the Manley Voxbox, it's a matter of preference but you can't go wrong either way. The Avalon is legendary and your vocals will sound like a million dollars, guaranteed!

Nice strip!
Got this as a free plugin for referring someone to UA. Chose this for its versatility. All sections are good, but honestly, I never use it. That’s the only reason I didn’t give it full stars. UA plugins can be pricey, but I’d say you shouldn’t pay more than $50 for this.

Review request
I have had the hardware version in the passed and only used the plug in for a short while and I do notice the similarities.
K. Jongmin
Very good preamp
I really like it!
A. Holbert
Best Compressor hands down
This is the best emulation of the hardware unit I have ever used. I owned a Antelope Zen Go with their version of the plugin UAD just nails it every time.

Love it!

Incredible Compressor Plug-in
The Empirical Labs EL8 is one of my new favorite plug-ins. It enhancing not just individual tracks but, it glues the mix perfectly. This will be my go to compressor on ALL my tracks and productions..
E. Zavala
Fantastic!
This reverb sounds great! There's not much else to say. Don't hesitate to pick this one up.

Free plate verb
Can't complain got it for free and works great alot of presets and easy to alter and tweak to find the sound you want, great for sound design.
E. Marks
I got it for free!
You can't beat free stuff and the UI is really good enjoying this so far! Can't complain.

So good
The 1176 is a time honored workhorse. I like to use it to capture the peaks after gentle compression with the LA2A or Fairchild. Works great!
T. Kingen
Yes!
I love the LA2A on vocals and instruments that don't need fast attack settings.
T. Kingen
A worthy addition
The Pure Plate is a worthy addition if you need a plate reverb a little simpler than the EMT140.

Time for a bit of 'Extra'
If you need a little something 'extra' on a given track, the Pultec collection may be just the ticket. It's not a surgical eq, the Cambridge does that. But for a bit of fairy dust on the right track, it's a worthy addition.

Fairchild the name says it all!
Ok, so it took me awhile to write this review as I find the process to be difficult because most of these plugins are soo subtle you have to listen with a trained ear. As far as this compressor I am shocked at its result. It is Smooth, subtle and creates presence. I used it on a recent documentary Frustrated 3 and the entire audio track was just hugged by the compressor nothing was too loud nothing was too soft I was amazed

Clean sound
Great reverb to add that extra dimension to your mix.

Best yet?
Having tried most software B3's (including years of playing the real thing) I would say that this, overall, is the best of them. Particularly of note is the Leslie simulator . I currently use a 'Ventilator" Leslie 122 pedal, which IMO is the best Leslie out there (apart from real ones!) but Waterfall runs a very close second to it.
My main gripe is the need for either an Ilok key or authorisation via Internet. I bought this to use live as well as in the studio. Ilok keys are disastrous on tour, they are easily damaged , and are the last thing you need hanging off already crowded USB ports on the Macbook Pro I use for gigs. I recently had to abandon Waterfal at soundcheck as the venue wi-fi was down. Please please UAD, can we have machine licensing as per my Synthogy Ivory Steinway, and other softwares?
The instrument itself is great, but beware --the CC numbers in the manual for midi control of the drawbars is out by 2. Upper manual drawbar one CC is 14 (and so on up),
not 12 , at least when using Korg Nano Kontrol. Well worth the sale price, a bargain in fact!
