Studer a 800 is great
Amazing, magic and great sounding.
D. Nacrur
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.

It is what it is
I love it. It does something that other eq plugins cannot do.

Mind and ear- blowing
Admittedly, after buying the Waves J37 plugin, I no longer wanted tape emulation on my songs because the sound was flat, empty and loveless. When I bought the Studer A800 few days ago because of a promo, it was exactly the sound I had been looking for for so long. Warm saturation, rich in detail, deepening and a slight shimmer that brings depth to the songs. I am so thrilled. The only downgrade is the heavy CPU load and that the native version doesn't have the Gang CTRLS feature. Please update this version - if that is possible for you. Thanks to you incredible UAD Team.

Great synthesizer!
The huge selection of virtual synthesizers can drive you crazy for a while. But strangely enough, I bought PolyMAX Synth without hesitation. Amazing filters and effects are on board, and the best part is the authentic retro sound. Simply bombastic. If you need exactly that kind of mood, this synthesizer is simply wonderful, as the saying goes: take it and use it. I was pleasantly surprised that I could at least find an argument for spending money on this purchase. Thanks to the development team!

Another Great Plugin

Something with the velocity curve, hard attack in logic pro low latency mode.
I really like the sound, features and effects!!! Of this plugin. A little bit restricted to one basic sound (model) in my opinion, as compared to Keyscape’s different models.
But one thing that really bothers me is that in use with NI Komplete Komtrol S61mkii and logic pro in low latency mode, I get an uneven attack response which results in nearly uncontrollable produced hard attacks of the sound, there is no even velocity balance curve there. And since I can play it only in Low latency mode, it is quite unusable. Universal Audio really needs to fix this ! ! !

Very nice
This plugin sounds very nice.

Absolute must have
I bought this one to finally complete the holy trinity (LA-2A, Fairchild, 1176).
UAD-Plugins seem to sound / work quite a bit better than competition plugins ;-)
M. Jahns
Awesome!
I've used some other brand's take on this legendary compressor, but this is simply the best incarnation. Totally recommended!

Everyone says it, "Creamy" is the word!
I mostly grabbed it because I wanted another mic pre option that was Native since I only have one DSP. This is a great sounding plugin by just inserting it. The EQ is particularly musical.
H. Cho
Good.
I like this plugin.

G. Rostock
Total waste of money
Went back to the free Ableton echo, as this has no tail and really is just a bright reverb.
F. Frabetti
Really good sounding and versatile
This is the first plugin I purchased from UAD, after trying the entire range of UAD processors and others. I think it's the most indispensable for the mix, it sounds really good, so much so that its realism can adapt perfectly to any type of track, including vocals (especially the AE version). Some times I use other compressors for the sake of choice, including an external hardware UA6176, but the UAD plugin is very practical and real and I am using it intensively.
