A little sprinkle of magic
This Studer A800 plugin brings back memories. Used judiciously, it definitely has an audio comfort food vibe. A luxurious glue that helps bring back cohesiveness to the finished mix. What i didn't remember was the very interesting side-effects it does to imaging, It widens the stereo field, but very naturally and clarifies the musical parts. For what it does, and it does it really well, it's a great plugin. Highly recommended.

Sounds better, Less complicated to use
I had purchased a new Lexicon PCM 96 several years ago but it did not operate consistently and wasn't user friendly either.
After the unit was returned to where it was purchased, i was eventually introduced to a Lexicon representative which was not able to refund my three thousand dollars but offered me a partial list of plugins of the reverbs that were contained in the PCM 96 which didn't even include the effects that were included in the hardware unit.
The Universal Audio Lexicon 224 sounded much better than the PCM 96 plugins that Lexicon provided me as compensation for a faulty hardware unit. And all of the different verbs were easyier to access.

The best bass and drums compressor by far
I used this compressor on a side chain buss on my drums and the same on my bass on a side chain to make everything more punchy. This is the best compressor by far, it's giving me the sound that no other compressor can do

Amazing
This verb sits perfectly in the mix even very wet.
It works on almost everything.
Very flexible/programable.
Luscious!

finally-
after years of regret for having sold my hardware version of this old box, i was excited to hear that it was being modeled by UAD... i use this thing all the time on bass and drums. takes me back every time i instantiate it! thanks, UAD, for being so faithful to the sound of the original!

LA-3A is a great leveling tool for audio application
Teletronix® LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler Plug-In is among the best plug-in tools from Universal Audio. it alway gives a quick result and audio quality to my mixing or mastering tracks.

Nice, simple, effective
I used the original hardware version. This compressor is a good go to sculpt bass an kicks. Must say, can't tell the difference from hardware....

Une merveille
Un instrument créatif à part entière ! Une queue de reverb aussi musicale, c'est comparable à un instrument !

Studer Sound
I'm a novice using this but slowly I'm learning what this is all about. I have already used it on a huge mix and I really did start to hear "the glue" and the low end round-ness coming from this thing.
totally worth every penny

Incredible!
If you want an incredible reverb like the top notch quality you hear in motion picture film scores, then get this plugin.

Like the real thing
I hadn't used a dbx 160 since I used to mix on analog stuff. This one works just like the original. I had forgotten how useful they are!
Highly recommended!

Love it
I really like this plugin. Works really nicely on vocals. Dropped it on a vocal track and it smoothed out the vocals and helped the track sit nicely in the mic. Love this plugin.

The Workhorse Compressor
I've got many of the other superb compressors in the UAD-2 range but they all have some kind of distinct tonal character and best lend themselves to special situations. I needed a good general purpose workhorse for daily tracking chores that didn't colour the sound too much and this is the one everyone should choose to buy first.
Using it in multiple instances with the Apollo has given me the crisp yet controlled sound that I'm used to when tracking with a large console, without all the noise and cable woes that sometimes get in the way of a great take.
I love this one and hope UA model some of the more modern DBX units like the 160SL and 162SL.
Those and a Lexicon 480L are at the top of my wish list.
Love this stuff.

Like butta!
A software model of a digital piece of gear... Kinda seems like a recipe for making everything sound like crumpling tin foil! But... this is Universal Audio, and Lexicon. Two AMAZING companies with a rich heritage of making everything sound AMAZING! The 224 is no exception. I've used a multitude of reverb units over the years, from hardware to software and my favorite has always been the Lexicon digital or not, this thing has always had some of the smoothest decays I ever heard, and I really prefer it even over most of the convolution reverbs out there. I like my tools to add something to the mix, not just a room sound, but character, life. This plug in does that, it adds life whatever you use it on.

too much comp will kill you!!
when i use another 1176 plugin from another brand, i never reach this quality of emulation... less cpu and it will be perfect!!
