Lushness
Lush & so warm. This reverb fully lives up to its hardware counterpart. Great work UA!

Fairchild 660 for Bass
I just purchased the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection and have just began to experiment tracking Bass Guitar. I have played many different basses in different styles and the results are amazing! I have used many of the other UAD-2 compressor plugins and had good results but the Fairchild 660 is the best, by far! The tone and musicality of its sound is exceptional with a full low end without the pumping sound. I have been playing and recording bass for 40 years now and this will be my "Go To" plugin until something better comes around. (Doubtful!) Another UA Homerun!

Really Great
I lean more to the player/computer geek side of things. So I wanted to take a while with these guys before leaving a review. Having said that, the Passive EQ collection is simply great. They sound great, the presets are very usable and tweaks are easily made with musical results. Again, I don't have tons of experience with the hardware version so I was a little apprehensive. That quickly went away. Well done to all at UA.

Finally, at my fingertips, the sound I've been hearing for ages..
Ever since I first saw the 224 hardware controller sitting on a console back in the 80's - and started hearing recordings featuring this incredibly lush sound, I've been searching for a way to duplicate it.
I've owned several cheaper Lex hardware units and tried various reverb plugins but NONE came close to this magic. But from the minute I launched this plugin and tried out the controls, I realized two things: First, THIS IS THE SOUND I've been coveting for years. And second, it's REALLY EASY to use.
I couldn't be happier and can't wait to use this in my mixes.

Ahhhhh...... Tape......!!!!! Hands Down The Best :)
This badboy here is amazing, I usually put it on my kick drum and snare and my god is just tape music to my ears I can describe it is just big body and meaty definitely go to on all my ongoing projects. But to be honest I mainly used this bad boy on vocals. I mainly do Hip Hop Pop and R&B!
My vocal chain is U87 70's ver. - Through the UAD neve 1073 - Studer A800 - Pultec -La2a silver and my God Vocals never sounded better, it's the Million dollar studio vocal quality everybody's been searching for. Thanks UA i'm your customer for life! I recommend the studer to everybody!

Love the silver
Love the faster time constants on the silver. I use it a lot on vocals and other sources. The mkii collection adds some nice extra special magic on crucial tracks over the original la2a.

Incredible software compressor from UA!
I’ve worked with the actual LA2A many times and this software version comes amazingly close to the real thing! It gives unique vintage taste and works great at the Master channel strip as a limiter. Its natural and analog character adds a bit of “life” to each sound.

Definitely Worth Buying
I picked this up cause it was on sale. I got to tell you this is an awesome compressor. Especially on guitars and drums. Can't beat this especially for the money. Well worth the purchase.

Smooth and forward
I A/B'ed this against another well-known LA-3A emulator plugin and this one won hands down. The other plugin exhibited unwanted pumping behavior with minimal compression, while this one remained smooth with the same gain reduction. The compression was more transparent, but it brought the vocal to the front nicely and gave it a little mid-push.
I was waiting on this one to see if they would make an updated version. Now that I finally gave in and bought it, I'm sure we will see the updated version soon...

Great sounds right from the presets
I never used any of the hardware this plugin is based on but I can say they make every track sound awesome. Just swapping between presets is aurally pleasing.
T. Setter
A classic lives on
This is a useful, good sounding compressor that is intuitive to use and maintains the character of the original. As I recall, this is one of Bob Clearmountain's favorite compressors, and if it's good enough for him, it's GOOD, indeed!
F. Walbrun
perfect
a perfect tool for professional productions. Sounds wonderful and smooth.

Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection
From warm and subtle to grainy and present. Not your modern compressor of course, but a great color for the palette.
R. Garcia
FULLNESS!
I only have used The LA 2 since I've got this pack. But BODY AND WARMTH AND DEPTH, DEFINITION..
I love this as a 2nd compressor in the chain. Beautiful master piece of a plugin!
GET IT! WORTH having in the arsenal

Great Compressor
I bought this one because we have two LA-3A's at the studio where I work. I wanted something at home to use especially on snare drums.
The plug in really sounds and reacts like the outboard ones at the studio. I've already used the plugin on two mixes and I am really glad I have it.
