Finally Native - thanks, UAD!
For years I craved for UAD plugins, mainly because all the pro guys were using UAD. These plugins seemed to have a special aura of authenticity, and generally got great reviews. Few times, I was very close buying Apollo interface just to get to use the plugins. I am glad I didn't.
After few weeks with the UAD Fairchild compressor, I can safely say that it is quite a good plugin, worth the 49 dollars I bought it for. But it's not that special.
I own Waves PuigChild, IK multimedia Fairchild and Acoustica Audio Fairchild. They all sound and behave differently. The Waves is a piece of shit, bright and harsh, and haven't used it for years. IK multimedia sounds closest to UAD, both are fat and darkish, UAD maybe little better to my ears. The Acoustica Audio is the most HIFI -sounding. Silky top, open sound.
I've been using UAD Fairchild as a mix buss compressor, with bass and guitars and, of course, with male and female vocals. And it sounds good and works just fine, although it always seems to bring out the sibilance in vocals.
So, if you are shopping for a Fairchild plugin, and UAD sells one for 49 dollars - buy it!
Otherwise, it's way too overpriced. And I recommend everybody to try the Acoustica Audio and IK Multimedia Fairchild compressors, too. Like I mentioned, they all sound different.

That soul
This piano has a tone and feeling that I’ve not heard in that many places the editing features really makes it stand above the rest it has resonance that goes well with soul, jazz and even rnb

Just WoW
J'ai déjà joué un vrai Rhodes mkI et je dois dire que comparer avec un plugin + touché et sensation d'un clavier maitre n'a aucun sens. C'est deux expériences différentes, donc laissons les différences là où elles sont et sachons apprécier ce que nous avons sous les doigts.
Par contre j'ai joué pas mal de simulation convaincantes de Rhodes chez Nord notamment, chez A...ria et d'autres. UAD réussi ici un sacré tour de force : c'est pas juste un instrument virtuel d'un Rhodes : c'est un Rhodes + un studio virtuel embarqué aux possibilités infinies !!
Dans ce studio vous allez retrouver plusieurs manière de sortir le son du Rhodes (comme sur un orginal) en Di, cab stereo avec repique micros, ampli lampe Fender, cabine Leslie etc.
Tout est réalisé avec les simulations, et le savoir faire d'UAD depuis des années !
Et je ne parle même pas des effets embarqués au format pédalier virtuels, dont certains sont vendu par UAD en plugin séparé (Chorus, Tape delay etc) ou même en hardware au format pédale. Et pour finir on a un rack virtuel de traitement pour caler le son au petit oignons: EQ / Comp 1176 / Modulations / Delay / Reverb.
La somme de ce plugin en studio vaut des dizaines de milliers d'euros...
Alors oui, le son de base en Di du Rhodes avec zéro traitement est assez neutre, mais on peut le personnaliser à souhait si on s'implique un minimum dans la confection de preset. Quand je vois ce que propose la concurrence, à mes yeux et mes oreilles il n'y a plus de débat possible. Merci UAD !

MY FAVE COMP
I have tired the waves one the tracks one and the overloud one the overloud is a close second but the had one is just above and beyond
A. Selzler
The best!
Wayyy better than I thought it was gonna be. Best emulation on the market in my opinion
T. Makaruk
great
so warm saturation
L. Ramos Gomes
Incredible!
Compared the D.I. signal against the real thing and the difference was pretty much not audible. The added effects offer a great range of tweakability. Probably the best emulation of a Fender Rhodes ever made. Great job UAD!

Wow ..
It's simply ' Magic ' _ : )

Electra 88 Vintage
Electra 88 Vintage Keyboard a successful emulation of a 1974 Rhodes Eighty Eight Mark 1 electric piano, which comes with all sorts of vintage extras, effects, stompboxes and over 100 sound presets and native ... no brainer. Thank you UAD

Too much room
The Ravel Grand Piano is way too roomy for my taste. Even if it's set to only close mics it still sounds like it's in a foyer or a back room or something. If you are looking for that kind of thing, I guess it is useful. For me - not so much.
