another classic
For the triumvirate of modeling plugins, this one is a swiss army blade of compression. Doesn't really work on mixbus or too complex busses, but can be the ticket on rear buss techniques. For spiky instruments that need a bit of distortion with the compression, it's up there with the best of the best.

Classic for a reason
The UAD Fairchild is a classic in its own right, not just the hardware is one. Whether for vocals, drums (where it to me has an edge over most models, with transient rich content) or entire mixes, this plugin is worth listening to and A/Bing against the best. It won't win every shootout, but it does frequently enough to justify the price tag for me. Going for it is also the smallish footprint.

Crown of my Mix Edition Bundle
I thought the Fairchild 670 and 660 came with my UAD Mix Edition bundle so I read everything I could to decide where in the chain to place it. It didn't, so I bought it. The 1176LN/LA-2A Gray seemed to be a common choice in either order. Order was a study of its own. Long story short... Studder 800 tape, FabFilter Pro Q3, 1176LN/LA-2A, BBE suite (M3/HM/SM/LM) then the Fairchild 660 to polish the chain before the master track, with the Fairchild 670 and API 2500 waiting.
I'm still working on the Vocal and Guitar tracks and have the Pure Plate Reverb, Lexicon 224 and Studio D Chorus individually paralleled across the BBE Suite using a Blue Cat's PatchWork effects rack. The Fairchild 660 provides a VU Meter at the end of the track chain. It helps to EQ before the 1176LN/LA-2A so dominant bass doesn't crush the mid/treble. I tried the LA-2A/1176LN but liked the 1176 first and backed both off a bit when the signal chain reached the Fairchild 660. If you're new like me, you must tune the chain as an aggregate, so don't stall out on each link. Just get it close and move to the next. plug-in
This setup rocks big time and I can't abuse it. I tried.

My go-to compressors!
I have never used a compressor that much! It instantly gives me the feeling of „sounds right!“ no matter what i use it on. It’s super good on vocals but i enjoy compressing drums with it as well because it’s gain adds a very pleasant saturation. The character and smoothness really make a difference. Super easy to use and highly recommended!

Best Pultec EQ of all times
The sound of the EQ is delicate and smooth, and wouldn’t become rough even if you make a drastic change in sound with it. Truly amazing.

Big mistake
Not compadible with Mac OS 10.14.6 or below. My fault for not looking at operating system requirements firs. So I'm out the $149 and stuck with a plugin I can't use. I won't be using any UAD plugs.

absolute favorite compressor for vocals
I am one of the many ppl who have recently adopted spark, I saw a deal for the first 3 months for a dollar or something like that. I know UA has a great reputation but I had never really had a chance to try any of the plugins that they make. thanks to my subscription, I was able to play around with several of the plugins from the UA library, and there is a lot that I like, some that I love, and honestly even the ones I'm not particularly in love with are still great at what they do. that being said, olone reaally stood out. for whatever reason I just loved the 1176 compressors, and what they do you all the tracks honestly, but specifically vocals. one small feature I will say is so small but to me its just so nice to have it, there is a simple "mix" knob that for me gets such great results by simply using the "average vocal compression" preset and just dialing it back with the mix knob to taste. just that little trick is such a simple, easy, and really quite good sounding technique to just give a vocal track a smoothness that I have difficulty achieving with other plugins. 10/10 it just works. there is o e small thing to mention. when I first felt like I needed these compressors, they actually weren't available to outright purchase unless you bought some specific hardware from UA. I got love for UA but I felt like "man I want to spend my money on their software but I don't need hardware" well needless to say within a month or 2 of that unfortunate issue, sure enough the 1176 compressors are on sale now, with no requirement to purchase hardware. so the decision to do that was unbelievably appreciated, I can't express how much I wanted to buy these. thank you for all that you guys do

Everlasting Quality..
I first heard of UAD plugins in 2009, and the sense around them was that they were top tier.. But because I couldn't afford them back then, I couldn't necessarily test them out for myself.. 13 years later, I'm now able to afford them, plus them being native makes it a whole lot easier for one to get into the system.. The quality is still outstanding! Unmatched in my humble opinion and it gives you a lot of confidence knowing that the software is working as it should.. I'm really enjoying my Fairchild 670 plugin.. Keep up the amazing work, guys!

Can’t live without it
Never realize how easy it is to use for vocals, I’m sure you could use it for a lot of things, but I normally am using it for vocals in my vocal chain and it gets the job done, very easy to use. Don’t need to see to use it, just use your ears, and once that’s done apply, the game to recover volume simple as that can go wrong with this one

Fairchild classic sound
Is so easy to deal with this compressor, just a classic, the sound is giving amazing analog vibes. I love it, just the best emulation in the market, and maybe I have all of them. Thanks UA, this is like a wine, just better with the time, a trustful plugin

A must have compressor
What can you say about the UAD 1176 plug in. You can use it anywhere and everywhere, and you should. You can use it to tame things down or to add punch. It’s a real workhorse, I don’t a have single session that isn’t using a number of instances of the 1176 plug in.

The best compressor together with LA-2 legacy
Worth to buy this non-legacy version. Works great together with Api Channel Strip and LA-2 legacy. It produce strong musical sound, suitable for lead vocals and instruments. Oposite is Tube-Tech compressor which create soft sound for backvocals and background instruments.
Fairchild is my no.1 for lead vocals.

THE BEST
I used a lot of LA-2A, but no one like this collection. THE BEST LA-2A out there!!
P. Lindblom
Great compressor!
A really nice and fast compressor! I have not tried the hardware so I cannot compare, but it stands out from most other plug-ins I have tried. Very versatile and adds mojo!
A. Courbat

UAD 1176 impression
I worked for years with the 1176 hardware and the plugins sound as good as the HW to me. Very cool!
r. dorsey
still great
One of the first plugins many years ago that made it clear...technology has come a long way. It is a must have for any modern rig/studio.
