The word you're looking for is ... CHARACTER!
The difference that sets this LA-2A collection apart from the legacy model, and also models from other companies, is the very distinct voice of each compressor in the collection. the effect of the compression seems as light-handed as you would want it to be on the LA-2As, but even turning it on imparts a sonic effect on whatever track you choose - each has its own chunk and presence. And the LA-2 is simply a beast! I'm already seeing an effect on my mixes as I replace other LA-2A models with instances from this collection. WOW!

Versatile and great punch for drums, buss and most anything.
I love the update for additional depth of tone, HPF side chain, built-in parallel mode, M/S. My only gripe is when controls are linked after being unlinked, settings should modify from where they were left, not jump right to the same setting. This would be helpful for M/S processing. The easy work around is to just stay unlinked, but unbalanced link would save some time. Thanks for making the best sounding modeled plugins!

Tube warmth in my heart
These are excellent on everything, but its a go-to for my vocals, I just love the sound of them.. Can be used on EVERYTHING
C. Bergström
Awesome!
This one beats the competition (J37 & Satin) by a looooong shot, it provides warmth and character like no other tape plugin I've tried. Put it on the master bus for extra glue and finish.

Unbeatable for tracking
during a live tracking session if you want to add an instant character change on a new vocal or instrument track try the Studer - it can be as subtle or as ballsy as you want it to be, I prefer it to walk the line there so it's more of a "feel" thing - push it just to the point where you start to hear a little overload and then back it off. Also the EQ options are killer for HF and LF roll off! Backing these tape sounds up against the sound of cleaner digital signals gives a really cool effect in a track. Definitely 100% happy with my purchase.

Very good
Adds a perfect glueing in all my work as mastering comp, just some dB reduction and it sounds richer. I use it too on vocals to smooth them down and give them thickness and color. I had a so special sound that when i need it i know that i need it.

Still the best!
Nothing compares to UAD's 1176, this takes it that much further. Probably my favorite plugin period.
O. Ramirez
What can I say?
These 1176 plugins sound so much better than any other 1176 emulation on the market. If you enjoy the sound of the hardware you will definitely enjoy the sound of the plugin. Great Job, UA!
O. Ramirez
Great Plugin
This just might be better than the hardware, only because if the hardware is not kept in good working condition they can sound horrible. The plugin, on the other hand, sounds the same every time and it sounds just as good as a well maintained Fairchild. Best Fairchild emulation EVER!!!

This on Bass = Yum
Well, I have Studer A800 which I use on my drums. Oxide finds its way on to my drums depending on what the track calls for but generally, this goes on my synths and sub basses. o.0/.
That is all,
Cheers guys!!! This thing is dirty!!!

Me = Happy
Thank you for adding this to the Apollo pack. I was going to buy this separately with your last 3 for $399 promo. So I am happy to slap this on my drum buss and pull it all together the way I want. Be careful though. As with all plugins of course, it's easy to ruin your vibes by over-doing it. This is real good in M/S mode. It can slam or be smooth.
Cheers guys!

Un bon compromis !
A la rechercher d'un compresseur autre que le 1176 et LA2A Legacy, fourni d'origine avec la Twin Duo, je me suis penché sur celui-ci car je trouvai qu'il était en terme sonore, un bon compromis.
Il apporte une belle présence, tout en augmentant l'effet 3D, ceux qui le rend parfait pour les voix, par exemple ou la guitare acoustique mais il ne s’arrête pas là car que ce soit, sur une piste drums ou même sur un auxiliaire après une reverbe, il apporte son charme et sa présence.
Un bon choix.
Petit bémol tout de même sur la GUI, assez petite fenêtre, peut être un problème pour les personnes ayant des difficultés oculaires.

Analog Temperature....
From the polluted digital world to the immaculate analog world :))))))

"That awesome Tape Sound...": ALSO FOR ON YOUR MASTER TRACK!!!
I Love this one! It is a successful emulation of a famous Studer multitrack recorder and with the many options it has I can sculpt the my mix-tracks exactly to my taste. "Tape" does something other plugins can not achieve (so easily) and the Studer A800 is my new favorite, next to the Ampex ATR-102 of course ;-). I use other tape emulations from Waves and Slate as well, but lately I find myself going for the "UA twins" first :-). Don't forget to try it on your master-track as well; you'll be surprised with the MOJO it can add to your overall mix!

LEXICON
you dont need a reason to get a lexicon.... depth , richness , lush programs....
G. Jansen van Veuren
Must have!
It is as good as they say! I understand why this is so popular! Very musical reverb for basically any type of instrument and vocal application.
D. Shacallis
Won't record without it.
Classic unit. I use this alot. Very intuitive.
D. Shacallis
Brilliant
As the owner of many 201's over the years this emulation is spot on. I use it on everything where needed.
Great work lads.
