Fairchild Tube Limiter collection
Great set off compressor options for a mix engineer. Great for drums, bass, and vocal compression. I love the easy access control for the attack (DC threshold) and the option to blend the compressed and uncompressed signals.

LA3A Rocks!!!
This software stands up to all the LA2 and 1176 plugins I have and it has a similar sound to my LA4 hardware units which have always been my go to limiters for vocals. It's definitely a bargain at the price and I have to recommend it to anyone needing more limiting power.

Fairchild magic
Never used the hardware. But so few have.
This VST certainly brings a special touch to audio manipulation.
Again the collection bundle slays the legacy version, in all aspects. Especially the sidechain access, which absolutely changes how it reacts... a feature that renders the legacy-version toothless by comparison [despite me using it everywhere, prior to getting the full-fat version] .
Love this plug-in. Regular use in all sessions.

LA-2A collection ; awesome.
Yet again, the collection pack outperforms the legacy version. By quite some margin.
Levelling amps really do it for me, and I use these a lot.
Grey for bite, silver for all-over goodness & tone control.
Killer plug-ins.

excellent 1176 collection
This collection pack is a real step up from the 'legacy' version.
I hesitated, until the recent price drop, and took the plunge.
Huge on character, much crisper than the legacy version. more dynamic definition when pushed.
Really changes how a sound fits in a mix.
It can radically alter level for more control in mixdown.
Can't compare to hardware, but nor can 99% of punters....
Used on an apollo quad, with great monitors in the studio, this plug-in can spank your speaker-cones to their limits !

Great Compressor
Just great! For vocals, drum, bass, guitars and anything else! My favorite compressor in three different variants!

150 years ago they'd've burned y'all as witches!
The Fairchild 670 seems to me to vindicate completely UA's decision to focus on emulation.
The symbiosis between analogue and digital seems flawless, the genius of the Fairchild designer is allowed to come through because the genius' at UA have had the skill and humility to make their work invisible.
I also think the AMPEX emulation has this quality too!
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, having worked in the box with the usual plugin suspects for years I'm now finding that UA's plugins are teaching me more about recorded sound than I could've imagined. For that I have to say thank you!

Oustanding
Incredible usable plug-in! Yet to find a sound source it didn't respond well to with fairly minimal tweaking. Definitely worth a purchase if you don't have the Studer or Ampex already.

Couldn't have asked for better
Have been using the Rev A for tracking vocals this week and it has been incredible. I have loved every second using these and they add something I haven't gotten with other competitor's products.

Oh my
So instant! Its a presto plugin. Used it on the master bus and nailed that Tape sound so well. It also brings out some crisp as well.
R. Mehta
Awesome!
When i heard the Legacy version itself, i was blown away and i thought that i do not need to listen to the new collection version. But i was wrong. UAD has taken this forward to a whole new level. It sounds exactly like the hardware and my particular favourite is the 1176 LN Rev E. Strongly recommended.

Amazing Compressor!
This compressor is now one of my favourite compressors!
Works wonders on vocals

Fast and precise
It seems to be a military airplane control surface. But not.
Pultec is a vintage Eq to use on almost everything, from the Drums to the Vocals.
Really easy to use, Pultec is a good choice to equilibrate the sound guitar walls, increase the brightness of acoustics and brass.
Fast and precise.

Great plugin - pissed I bought it before the sale
As everyone said great sound emulation works on just about everything .
Bought it on5/20 and used a 100.00 coupon from my Apollo 8 purchase .
Got the email about the half year sale and it feels like a slap on the cheek.
Oh well -

A Classic Plug & Play
It's just a classic.
It's a slow and tube compressor, fits very well on Vocals specially, but with Bass and Guitars also sounds very good.
UA's LA-2A is a device wich is very easy to use and achieve good results. Others emulations of LA-2A are just a JOKE, very hard to reach a musical result.
Don't waste your time. UA LA-2A is simply Plug and Play to Mix!

Lex224 best reverb emulator
Better than altiverb.
I used it in every time
D. Hatadi
The Original
Okay, maybe not the very first reverb but certainly one of the classics that people always return to when they want that sound. Universal Audio has created an extremely special emulation with sensible customizations that help sounds sit perfectly within the reverb and within the mix. It's really surprising (although perhaps it shouldn't be!) how much a small amount of this can help a mix turn into a record.

Oldie but a goodie
The DBX160 may be one of the older offerings by UAD, but it holds up still. I own the Waves and Softube/NI versions as well, but the UAD wins most of the time. I use this most frequently for parallel kick/snare compression and the UAD version's superiority shows in the low end. The others give a decent smack, but the low end seems less smeared and my kick sits much better in the mix with the UAD DBX160. The others are good models, but I'm sticking with this one when it counts.

Better than all the rest
So excited to get this after using the demo. A/B'ed it with other versions. So clear. Just made the vocals "Fit". No so excited to see it drop from $149 to $99 an hour after I bought it. Who do I call about that?
C. Allrich
Yep, Worth The Upgrade
While it's on sale, I couldn't think of a better reason to finally upgrade my old legacy Pultec. Wasn't expected to be floored by the difference, but was pleasantly surprised! If UAD has sent you a coupon, and you haven't upgraded yet, just do it! Your mixes will thank you for it.
