perfect addition to Ampex
After working with UAD Ampex (which is in EVERY of my mixes - mostly on the stereo bus) i've fetched the Studer to my toolchain and are happy again - while the Ampex felivers a more subtle, but more "broad" affecting enhancement on nearly any stereo/mix bus the Studer seems to packing more heavily onto tracks, making it ideal for individual tracks to me. Compared to i.e. WAVES Kramer Master Tape it sound's a hearable step more higher / forward. This is an addicting tool which you will buy if you hear it - even. with the presets. As a next step i'll try to experiment with it as a sound design tool and investigate i.e. delaying / modulation "tricks" with it. From my view this (both) are just the best tape emus for mixing and mastering.

Great mix buss glue
Fantastic on my main mix bus! I've never used the hardware so can't compare to this but this is a fantastic plug in for me. I use this on almost every project. Side chain is always useful with kick drum heavy mixes as well. A++++

Sounds like a real tape machine!
This emulates tape so well! thats all that needs to be said. I can choose different types of tape, and I can change th IPS. That's all I need. It's great.

Sounds great!!!
I have the actual LA-2A at the studio I work at, and I have to say I am surprised how well this emulates the real deal. The only difference is the hardware adds more low end. That's all I noticed. I don't even care about that minor difference. Great plugin for vocals.

Great on everything
The bluestripe sounds great on snare and toms if I drive it hard enough. I always try to get that big snare sound. Each has their own subtle characteristics. You can't go wrong with this price. You get 3 different flavors.

So simple and so powerful
Load it and the job is done.

The real deal!!
After eons of home recording finally spent the bread and found a reverb that is present and clear in the mix without muddiness even at high levels.I auditioned others but felt that this Lexicon had that unquantifiable edge where others failed.This is a must have plugin ,I use it somewhere on every single project.Go get it!!!!

Great compressors!
Just brought them, but mutch to late I do realise now. Works good for drums and vocals.

Worth updating
I take advantage of a promotion and update the stock LA-2A to this collection and it's worth every penny. Each version has his own character and they sound amazing.

Great Emulation of A Classic
Back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, I had the pleasure of experiencing the real deal 224 XL. This plug brings back memories of the lushness of Lexicon classics. Like the hardware, you have to work it and I would say that this is not the reverb to use if you're looking for easy ambient realism per se. This is an impressionistic reverb with a fingerprint. The included presets are great starting points but it's important to dig in and learn the unit. That's why I give it 4 stars. My experience with the HW was an artist so I never learned the in's and out's of its operation but I'm learning it now and love it. I wouldn't make this my only reverb but it's a must-have for your sonic arsenal.
UAudio does it again! Thanks.

Presence and clarity
There is a very clear sense in this reverb.
And I feel the dense depth.
Really, really, nice.
A. Faur
This and la2a are the best emulations you can find.
For me the best emulations to date.
A. Gabrys
working great so far
very nice to have side chain filter and mix knobs on this version. More flexible and nice color - can't compare against the actual hardware as I don't own the actual hardware. lol.
Yes I paid a lot less than some other posters in this thread as it was first discounted because I bought the Fairchild legacy model 4 years ago, and also have a coupon (and it was on sale as well). Moral of this story? If you are worried about $50 then wait for the sale and a coupon.
reliability has been great with UAD system in general - this is a quad UAD-2 PCI card and as long as I have paid attention to the supported OSX then I have had no problems. On my older Mac Pro 1,1 I had to not bother with this new one. Now that I have upgraded all is good.

So Good
Such an upgrade from the legacy version. Silky. Smooth. Shockingly close to the original in sound.
T. Feswick
The Fez
I started putting the Fairchild on a couple of tracks such as electric guitar, bgs, keys and synths, I find myself placing it on more tracks as the sessions progress. I love the smoothness but sometimes wondered if it was really making that much of a sonic difference until I bypassed it. I really love the sonic glue and sheen.

this eq is like butter, between this and millenia I am all set
T. Swafford
Essential
Always loved the 1176 sounds that I heard in the studio I worked in. Being able to dial in key sounds (especially with the AE) has been essential to enhancing the sound of my personal studio and has for sure taken my mixes to a higher level.

Great For Drums
This compressor/limiter is great on anything that has a great dynamac rage like drums or bass. Favorite application is on snare drum!
D. Roman
