The Best!
The best sounding electric piano I`ve tried, ever!
M. Ferreira
One of the best UAD Plugins so far!
Brings the warmth of analog tape!

Best chorus sound!
I’ve been writing a lot of meditation and spiritual music lately, and this plug in has been my secret weapon. It sounds so natural and pleasing to the ear. I’ve been using it on strings, synths, and some percussion. This is my go to chorus.

Lexicon 224 digital reverb about
I haven't done a detailed review yet, but overall the result is good.

Just wow!!
This sounds just like the original, and instead of buying a unit and using it on one thing I can put this plug in on whatever I like!! I love love love the mix knob…such a clutch addition.

Good sounding, trustful
Using it for a several years, very good choice for vocals

Unavoidable !
Throughout my career as a musician in the biggest Parisian Recording Studios ( France ) I saw it placed on the SSL & NEVE consoles... From now on, I have it in my computers ( with its big sister, the 480 ! ) and I am delighted !

My favorite tape echo!
It sounds like a real tape with those pitch and glitch movements! I usually set the delay slightly to the left and the reverb to the right - this gives a very nice space to the sound. And since it can't be set to a very long delay, I put another plugin before it with an extra delay to achieve slower repeats. The sound is so real!

This compressor is a miracle!
I've tried all sorts of 20-knob compressors and finally the LA-2A sounds better again :-) It's been my favorite compressor for decades! The Gray version is my first choice for vocals and piano (usually after another quick compressor). The Silver one I use more for other instruments. And the LA-2 is very special! It's very slow, but if matched with some smoother instrument (synth or pad), the sound becomes amazing!

Amazing!
I love the amp options. Great for live. Bough it and went straight into my live rig.

Like the original !
Beautiful compressor, I have the hardware 6176, nice to have it in plugin.

Iconic Reverb
Iconic reverb from the past. Superb on vocals. It's so convenient to have it as a plugin in your arsenal!
M. De Siena
It's truly analogue.
It's truly analogue. For those who have used tube music. It's the closest.

Not entirely unexpected
After hearing, over the years, how good UAD plugins were, and then finally native, I took the plunge with Spark. I have to say the results are as impressive as I'd hoped! So far, along with the reverbs and chorus, I've mainly focused on the Compressors, and 1176/LA-2A in particular, and following serial compression tutorials, I'm getting the exact, professional type sound that I've been looking for! It would appear that all of the reports are true! I look forward to exploring a lot more, in fact, I've purchased bundles separately now, for as and when my subscription ends! Thanks UAD.

Native UAD sound
What a great idea to provide UAD plugins for those who don't use UAD hardware. The plugins are one of the best sounding plugins I have. With studio edition you get the most important plugins for mixing tracks.

Thanks to all at Universal Audio !!
I knew when I started investing back in 2018 with my first audio interface I ever owned, an Apollo 8p, (no X yet), that there was something special about UAD.
Continued Success to all of us!!

Best software compressor I own.
I have many software compressors but this is by far the best and most versatile compressor.
V. Stepanski
Studer a 800 is great
Amazing, magic and great sounding.

easy to use, limited features and reasonable sound
Century is one of those plugins that UAD created based on the knowledge acquired from modeling classic tube preamps. It is not based on a particular model. The idea is interesting. The result is satisfactory but not one of my favorites. It is interesting because it uses relatively little dsp and in addition to emulating the sound of a tube pre, it also has a compressor and equalizer (although very limited). Don't think about doing heavy compression. Only moderate adjustment provides a reasonable result. The equalizer, also used sparingly, offers additional color. In any case, adjusting these parameters moderately, in addition to the pre emulation, will undoubtedly obtain a better sound than the native Apollo pre. I recommend it for those who have little DSP and/or those who are just starting out, due to its ease of use. However, for those looking for a great pre-tube modeled tone, there are better options. One last observation: the output volume is low, even when properly adjusting the signal. This is a project problem, which UAD can easily resolve, and make the updated and corrected plugin available to users.
