Sounds bad
I was expecting more from this piano since Electra 88 sounds awesome.
However, I'm hugely disappointed. Even with no reverb and with close mics, it sounds like it's recorded in a large bathroom. Has no intimacy/warmth in the sound, it sounds thin.
You can make it work with some eq'ing but why is the hassle, just use ANY other library.
Unfortunately, this is the worst-sounding paid piano library I have ever heard.

This the Rhodes you're looking for
This is the best EP I have ever heard for this price range. It's much better than the other brands and also on par with Keyscape. This is far cheaper than Keyscape though (while on sale), I can't recommend it enough.

Better than the competition
This sounds much better than the other plugins out there from other brands. It sits very easily on the mix.

One of my favorite preamps
I've tried it, and it's on my list for the very next purchase.
A great all around preamp. Clean, but warm, round, suitable for absolutely anything. Synths, vocals, drums, guitars, bass, whatever. Almost has a tube warmth, but with less mud, a more open top, and yet without the sharper edges you'd associate with a solid state.
It almost fools you it's tube, but without uncanny clarity.

One of my favorites
I've read somewhere that Oxide is a simplified version of the Studer Tape plugin, with an inbuilt set of adjustments. DOn't know if it's true or not, but it sounds very different out of the box, and you'd struggle to get Studer to match the sound of Oxide by tweaking its individually adjusted parameters.
Oxide sounds great, it's refreshingly easy to use, and if you want that particular tape profile - which is great, round and warm, but clean at the same time - without having to wrestle to make Studer sound similar - I haven't succeeded, but I haven't tried too much, to be honest - it's definitely a good addition to the tape collection, especially since the price is not one you're gonna feel sorry about.

To improve...
The plugin is good but It would be great if you made a "mix" button directly on the panel.

My go to for vocals!
UAD's Avalon vt-737 is my go to plugin for anything vocals, sounds great on any material!

great for voice
As a voice actor this is an awesome tool. I am only starting to discover the possibilities. Adds organic power to my voice, very granular

Couldn't get it to work on windows 11
After multiple attempts to run it and trouble shoot it i got it to run fine on windows 10 on my other machine. There's a development issue on 11 that needs a patch. Not satisfied with my purchase

Just got this one and need to have more time with it.
Put it through presets after I watched the training videos.
Happy - happy - I purchased it.

Absolutely Love it
As someone who's always obsessed over an accurate Rhodes recreation, I can honestly say this is the first time I truely felt like I finally owned a 'real Rhodes'. i've used other good products, but I was always left even partially wanting something a little closer. i don't feel that way anymore with the Electra 88. I can put this one to bed finally.

Dissapointing
Pure plate reverb was just not was I was hoping for from Universal Audio. I had to tweak forever to get a realistic sound.
R. Rati
Great!
Truly a great Pre. It kills on vocals as well as bus tracks.
R. Rati
Nice!
The Galaxy tape echo has that old time magic dust and gives you plenty of great sounding tracks.

Damn close to the original
I was lucky enough to be able to work with the original hardware for years. Even back then, I was very impressed by the quality of the reverb and its versatility for a wide range of areas (music recording, post-production, live). This software implementation is almost 1:1 and has been enhanced with various additional functions that were not available on the hardware at the time. Great! Definitely recommended!

Perfect hybrid.
One of the first plugins I've put on my drums and thought, "I don't wanna be without this." Can get really close to an 1176, but can get really slow and punchy. Awesome on kicks and snares.
G. Panousopoulos

I mainly use the dbx160 on kick and toms!Love it!
