Perfect for what it does
Its a must have compressor for drums bus and Bass, if you looking for that specific color.

Pretty great compressor
I haven’t used the hardware version of one of these before but I can see why engineers all over use them. They are cool compressors. Definitely have their own vibe about them.

A must have!
This is simply amazing! Very versatile, I use this on any track of my mixing, mastering. Loving it! Got it on an amazing price also so double the happiness! :)

Swiss army knife of compressors
This one does it all. Rich harmonic distortion if you want it. Clean if you want it. LA2a if you want it. 1176 if you want it! Subtle to Punchy, this packs all the goods. If you need one compressor suitable for all types of instruments, or an absolute classic and integral part of the 90s, this is for you!

Unbelievably difficult to install
I’ve never had so much trouble installing a plug-in. After an hour of troubleshooting, I found a video made by UAD about how to uninstall UA Connect. It’s so incredibly complicated (why not just include an uninstaller??) I decided to give up & get a refund. No plug-in is worth this much trouble. And guess what: turns out getting a refund from UAD is incredibly complicated too!!! This is my first & last UAD purchase

The "Everything" Compressor
I think we all know what it is. If not, know it's definitely not "just another compressor." Amongst all its benefits, particularly striking is its excellent manipulation of snares and the drum buss. It's nasty when you need it to be, but goes out of its way to preserve snap and sizzle on snares especially when you require it. When you want something mangled however, it'll mangle it GOOD and proper! 100% worth watching and digesting a few videos on its use, this has a lot of excellent capability you'll really want to be familiar with. Absolutely awesome thing.

Wow
I own WAY too many compressor plugins, but this one is at the top of the list now. All my UAD plugins are excellent tools.
