The best one yet!
I tried various multi-FX-vocal-chains and this really is the best one yet. I just replaced ten plugins with this plus it's really well thought out and the design is also very appealing!...

Wish there was a DSP version
This plugin is actually pretty amazing but extremely CPU intensive… I have more than enough DSP for this plug to be compatible...

The de esser isn’t de essing.
Probably the best vocal chain plug-in out here right now; even with the worst de-esser out here right now. Fix it. Leave the eq as is; once you free it, it won’t be great anymore....

Wish it worked on DSP
I'm writing my second review. As I'm using this plugin, I'm loving it more and more, and was wondering why UA didn't make a DSP Version of it. I'm desperately seeking it.

Mr A
So many options to sound professional
J. Eggert
Ok for beginners
It’s an ok plugin and I’ve used it on some vocal tracks to get it a bit brighter and “airier”. Blending this in a bit with my normal vocal chain helps sometime. I didn’t expect this plugin from UAD and it feels more like from another vendor.

The best one yet!
I tried various multi-FX-vocal-chains and this really is the best one yet. I just replaced ten plugins with this plus it's really well thought out and the design is also very appealing! Sound is really good or course. EQ is a bit weird to use and restricting at first but could be suitable to some people. Could also just be a normal EQ…

Wish there was a DSP version
This plugin is actually pretty amazing but extremely CPU intensive… I have more than enough DSP for this plug to be compatible but unfortunately it’s only native. If they create it a DSP version I will purchase it… but unfortunately just as a native plug I can not use with my system

Good for beginners
For beginners, I would give this four stars because it’s everything they need to get a decent sounding vocal. but for intermediate to advanced producers, it leaves a lot to be desired. For starters the deesser is weak. This is so strange because you would think Universal Audio would have the best Deeser around given their access to all of the deesser technology from their plug-ins. The other modules are good for the most part, although the EQ section is very restrictive, as it is in all types of plug-ins like this. For the life of me, I don’t understand it. Free the EQ! I’ll tell you what would be truly awesome. if UAD made a plug-in like this as a studio rack like waves has and each module was one of their emulation
plug-ins. That would be truly awesome. Anyway, I also cannot give this five stars given the price point. This is a $50 plug-in. I don’t know how they are coming up with $200, let alone $400. But evidently, they are targeting a certain audience. overall, it’s a decent product for beginners albeit overpricedJ. Brierre
WOW
Brings Life depth, Tuning in One plugin plus effects !!

Surprisingly Addictive
As an old-school mix chain nerd, I didn’t expect that I would like to use this kind of multi-FX plugin in my workflow, but as soon as I tried it on my vocals it blew me away with the quality, functionality, and easy-to-use UI, which made a complex routing so simple that led me to delete my old chain and replace it with just ONE plugin

Where's the DSP version?
I despise using my computers CPU to drive these native plugins, which is one major reason I purchased a UAD interface. So where's the DSP version?
L. Fricke
I didn’t expect it to be this good
I’m a professional and have known UA since the very beginning. This tool is really great, easy to use, very flexible, and sounds fantastic. There are three things that could be improved:
1. The name “Vocal Suite” doesn’t quite fit, as it actually works great for everything!
2. The de-esser is the only thing that doesn’t sound good to me.
3. Apparently, not all controls are captured in automation (at least for me in Cubase); it seems there are still a few bugs. Otherwise, it’s top-notch!

Streamlined work flow/ great results without getting lost in too many choices
I'm a serious, ( some would disagree), hobbyist that has switched to UAD LUNA and a lot of their plugins... I love some of these newer plugins that are quick and easy to use...I don't mind creating busses for effects and automating stuff, but since Im mostly doing brit invasion sounding stuff I don't need to be crippled with too many choices....I must say, the ducking feature is going to be a real time saver.....I get the feeling that veteren pro's might not like this, but in my case this plug in keeps me moving before ear fatigue and analysis of paralysis sets in..... My guess is that this will go on sale pretty quick since not many reviews....its pricy, but, this is my main hobby...lol

DAMNNNNN !!!! LOVE IT !!!
Best in the games !!!
thank you for this time saver !

The missing piece.
This is simply amazing. I don't edit vocals at all, but you can use this thing as an effect on pretty much anything.
The individual efx sound superb, especially the easy to use delay/reverb section with the ducking is great.
Keep it up!
