Awesome sound
I've never owned an actual hardware unit, but these compressors have an extremely musical, "big" sound to them, and I feel like the enhance the source rather than degrading it in any way or making things sound smaller, as some digital compressors and emulations seem to do at times. I like to use them for effective but subtle compression on lead vocals, acoustic guitar, guitar groups, backing vocals... A great set of compressor plugins, and if you get them while on sale the value is outstanding

LA-3A
One of the best UAD comps for electric guitars. Perfect for percusive instruments too. Awesome plug-in adaptation.

Smooth Compression for less
I love the transparency of this compressor. When set correctly, even with quite a lot of gain reduction, you cannot hear it working, that is paramount I believe to good dynamics control. Its also lite on DSP power which is fantastic as this compressor is useful more otten than not on numerous jobs in the mix.

Rockin'
This set works great and really makes things sit nicely. The LA-2 is especially great for getting a kind of aggression other compressors just won't do.

What I wanted
It's just what I wanted. That wonderful sound you use to listen in great pro recordings. Thank you :)

Great allarounder!
So far my absolute favorite in the bunch! From punchy vocals to cutting guitars to background vocals, drums room squash and bass compression this plugin does it so natural. Depending on which version one uses there is the opportunity of nice coloring also. +++++

Try it for yourself
The video demonstrations are OK, but not even close to working with this plugin on your own DAW and your own tracks. So try the demo, listen closely, play around, and you will NOT be sorry. I bought within hours of playing around. You won't need 14 days. haha Bought the AMPEX plugin too.

Amazing!
Where are the tubes?. Smooth on bass, clear treble. Great work UAD!. My favorite so far.

My Wonder Wall
Gives that beautiful roundness of a tube every time I put something into it. Nothing is harsh sounding and you just can't get bad sound coming out of it, as long as your recording is good. I've used the hardware version before and astonished to find that it does sound like it. I don't care if it does sound like the original or not, this thing does the job for what you need. Ace, UAD!

Snap!
This gets a lot of snap out of things. It is often exactly what is needed on individual drums and percussion. Also sounds great with picking guitar or anything with a sorta fast action.
It just seems to make things fit comfortably without disappearing.
Great job!

Smooth
You can push these plugs hard and they retain that effortless character the LA2A is renowned for. For $50 a no brainer... 'must haves' for any UAD user.

3 flavours of 1176
The only hw comp I've ever owned was a Urei 1178 which I loved but unfortunately had to let it go. The legacy UAD1176 is good but never really got my juices going like I remember the 1178 used to.
Bring on the updated UAD 1176 collection. For $50 I couldn't resist and imho UAD have done an excellent job modelling the transformer saturation of the hardware. These 3 plug-ins really do sound excellent. Definitely my favourite plug-in compressors... along with the LA2A collection of course!

Pure luscious glory
I don't think I'll ever need another reverb. Sweet, lush, crystalline, deep - whatever you want. All without sounding dingy, springy, electronic, fake, or cheap. The UA video demo sold me well in advance, and I finally made the purchase. There is a reason this controller sat on nearly every desk of every studio for decades. If the space in heaven had a sound, this would be it. Oh those gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous tails.

just like the others - amazing!
this, like all of the other ua plugs, is proving to be completely indispensable in my workflow. it is a mainstay on vocals and awesome on bass. crazy great!
