Wish I could give it a 6!
I've had experience with the hardware going back to its introduction in the 70s. It's part of a sound that is at the core of my preferred production genre. To me, this plug is about as close to having the hardware as I can imagine. For old funk and soul productions, it's perfect. Great on bass, keys and drums: it just WORKS!

as real as it can get!
I'd rather put it simply : this may be not the real thing but the damn closed next thing to the real thing!
I use it all the time for voice, guitars, bass, anything really...
I couldn't thank you enough....
:-D

More dimensions and flexibility
I didn't think it would be that great a difference. The collection gives a lot more flexibility and it sounds massively wider. The plugin flattens the dynamic while adding dimension. Impressive. The saturation (no attack) modes are great as well fit coloring. Overall a must buy.

One of Best and affordable.
This is my first choice when I need to grab a reverb, it will never disappoint you. For me the best way when it comes to tweak it, is to exaggerate the wet, then adjust a few knobs a walahhh!
Great Plug!!!

Very analog
Man... I used to think the Legacy LA2A was great, but this is a whole different thing. These sound pretty damn analog to me. Love them!
M. Romanov
Very cool compressors
Each version of LA-2A has its own sound. Very good for vocal. Excellent value!
M. Fair
A great up upgrade to a very good plugin.
I do Audio Post Production for the film and television industry. I liked using the original LA-2A from the Analog Classics bundle on Dialogue tracks just to smooth everything out. I tried out this upgrade and fell in love with the original LA-2. I love the slow attack, it's very transparent, adds great character and warmth that I didn't get with the original Analog Classics version. Sometimes, when composing music I like the use the LA-2 just for the gain knob on synths and samples. I love the character and the smoothness. This is a great upgrade.

Voice compression tool
From 1176 to 2 and LA to 660 I used your many compression, until the use of the Fairchild660 of the time, the feeling is very good. Your company is a very good production compressor manufacturers, from hardware to software, and the quality is very high. But Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection plug-in gave me a new experience, especially let me fondle admiringly D.C.THRES. tunability. Electronic tube filled with warm smell. This is a very successful plug-in. At least let my recording is no longer cold feeling. Especially in the process of handling vocals amaze me. I believe I will stick with this plugin to handle voice.

Amazing
Simply amazing on the master bus. Highly recommended.

Makes a classic more versatile
An improved model of the harmonic character of a studio classic. The different versions offer different time constants for a bit of fine tuning for any particular source.
The emphasis screw is a great addition to tailoring the plugin to a stubborn sound.
I actually like the smaller GUI from the legacy versions, since they take up less screen space and there's just no need to have them be this big; it's not like it's actual hardware that needs room for transformers and tubes. but that's not a big deal.

At last, a real reverb
Finally I got the money to bye the legedary Lexicon 224.
Uaudio had it on sale and I´ve got a coupon that made it possible.
The first time I used it I instantly could get the reverb I wanted. It is easy to use and it sounds just great. The parameters are lovely Analog and it suits an old analog guy like me. I did´t make the RealVerb Pro to my friend. The parameters where odd placed and was not as intuitive as Lexicon 224.

STUDER A800 review by TYVY/Totem Studio
Hi UAD team,
I finally bought Studer A800 which is quite instinctive and easy for me to use although I was not familiar at all with hardware version!!
It offers much finer quality (with many options to fine tune your desired sound) than the previous basic "Tape recorder" plugin I've been using and I will apply it to all my ongoing mixes immediately, mainly to boost my Acoustic Drums Group sound.
It seems also interesting for Mastering although I've had too limited experience to explore all its possibilities.
I rate it 4 and not 5 because it consumes quite big resources of my UAD2-Duo Card (8%) which limits the number of tracks on which I can use it, since I also use many other UAD plugins. A bit expensive but worth the cost!!

Making drum racks has never been so much fun. Show no mercy on those snares !

What they say is true
It really is true, these are so nice on vocals and acoustic instruments. It's crazy how just putting them in a channel instantly makes stuff sound better. Great work UA!

SMACK!
Yep, I'm an idiot for not getting this one sooner. if wou want banging drums, up-front vocals, or bouncy bass, this is a very quick, very effective, and great sounding tool. Now, if only I could remix those sessions I did before I got this. Dammit.

LA2A works
I have two hardware La2a's, I can't tell the difference between the software and hardware; they both sound fantastic at all times on the appropriate instrument/voice. My only complaint....I love to feel the real thing, virtual knobs are not very exciting, I suspect that's just an old man thing!!!! The same review applies to the 1176 software I purchased at the same time.
