dbx 160 compressor
good hard compression esp good for tightening drum and percussion sounds.

Pultec Passive EQ Plug-In Collection
Well I was struggling with mastering my tracks as good as the other UA mastering plugins are I couldn't get the sound that was in my head until I tried these plugins wow it made all the sounds that I was looking for. After a bit of playing with the controls and reading the manual I wouldn't master with any thing else very very happy they really do a good job thanks UA.

Awesome
Got loads of high end reverb plugins but has fast become my favourite.
Great sound. Easily manipulated.
H. Kim
Good sound
very good sound.
A little inconvenient because there is no noise reduction function.

Great Tape even if you have ALOT of others!
I have probably most if not all other tapes by other makers and of all of them Slate's is the better fit for the tape sound to my ears. I didn't really care for it across all the tracks though. That is where the Studer has really shined. The controls are great! Most people already on UAD already know such things but if you're skipping this one due to having other tapes? Try it!

Warm! Warm! Warm!
This makes any source sounds thick, with attitude, punch and BALLS!. Usable under a lot of circumstances. Another great plugin emulation.

That magic...
Love the grey La2a on vocals...tracking with the UA Neve 1073 into the UA1176 rev E into the UA Teletronix La2a grey.
That combination is nothing short of amazing. 5 stars, guys.

LEVELER COLLECTION ON THE LEVEL !
I have been using just the LA-2A legacy for the past 5-6 years,. it has always been a "go to" for smooth, warm and full comp/limiting and without eating up too much DSP,.(i have only used a hardware LA-2A twice before). I just purchased the LA-2A Classic Leveler Collection,.which at first i was hesitant as i felt the differences/advantages would be minimal. Wrong. The subtleties obtainable and also the dramatic difference under certain circumstances broaden the palette immensely.
The response and frequency transients are distinct to each model and accordingly suitable for whatever source you are dealing with.
Inspiring and comforting to have so much quality gear on hand, and for such a small investment. Make your day BUY IT !

Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection
Excellent plug-in emulation of the Fairchild Tube Limiters! We've used several at Blackbird Studios in out of the box mixes, but having one for in the box mixing makes it that much better! Love it!

Something is missing.
Its too clean in a way.
The noise from the real hardware is very important to make it sound like an LA2A
I dont think this is very close to the real deal.
Generally i will find that your plugins needs more grit and dirtyness.

Pathetic
Since this is 'Magneto Month' I thought I'd share my pathetic review. I started recording as a teen 30 years ago with tape and always hated it, because of the darn hiss / high end trade off with Dolby B or dbx that constantly pi$$ed me off. I welcomed the digital age and could not understand why UA would emulate antiquated technology to this extent. I demoed the A800 and believed it was just another EQ plugin with some hiss EFX for fun. But once I bought it and learned the manual inside-out and began to learn its history and what exactly I was tweaking I fell in love. OMG. I cherish 70s and Alan Parsons and boy does this bring me back to where subtle distortion and pleasant overtones shape music that is so pleasing to ears. Mm..mm .mm.mm Mm

Not Just Another Comp...
I already have the L2 and 1176 collections plus the Fairchilds; I really thought the LA3 couldn't keep up...until I tried it. This little compressor brings a sweetness to everything; try it on the output of your 224 or EMT140... Awesome.

Great Plugin, Easy to use sounds great
If you're liking for a good compressor that's quick and doesn't hog DSP this is it. Doesn't slow you down and once you learn it dialing things in becomes second nature. Great for sound design and the production stage.

Best single purchase so far
I've got a modest but respectable collection of UAD plugins at this point. For some reason I had been avoiding getting the 1176 upgrades despite hearing how good they are. I've used real 1176's and never really "got it". Finally I demo'd these plugins specifically with the goal to try to understand why the 1176 is supposed to be so good. Turns out I just wasn't pushing them nearly hard enough and looking at the meters too much. I can't say if these plugins sound as good as the real thing but I know that when I heard these clamping down on bass or drums or vocals I recognized the sound of records I love instantly. These plugins have changed the way I mix; I find myself using less EQ and getting better results. These are a must-have.

Love the richness!
I loved the legacy Pultec Pro plug, and this ups the mojo. It's killing it on my drum busses.
