NEVE 1073 review
Has so many uses, and a lot of warmth and character - love this plug.
Will be useful on most things - guitar, acoustic, piano, kik/snare, vocals, etc. etc.
Thanks UAD.

The Real Deal!
I've owned the Hardware and I own this plugin!
It has the exact quality of the Hardware so I call it the Real Deal!
If this is the Preamp sound you are looking for then you have found it at a Fraction of the Cost of the Hardware!

Unreal!
Sold my Neve Portico immediately after this plug came out. I realize the 1073 is different sounding than the portico, but I didn't expect it to just sound better in every way. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a source that the portico sounds better on, and for the price, are you kidding? Besides sounding great in normal use, the saturation is unbeatable! Just brings a smile to my face, especially when saturating kick and bass. Thanks UAD! :D

Competes with the hardware
This is the plugin that convinced me I could be happy recording "keeper tracks" with a mobile interface. Having owned and used the physical counterpart many times I feel no tangible difference in sonics or operation between either version. It's a milestone in recording technology.

To the people who are giving this 1STAR!
The people who are giving this 1STAR are the idiots who don't know how to use this properly! This isn't a plugin that you want to use everywhere you go. Well not the new 1073 as it will kill your DSP resources really quickly. The reason for that is because it's SO FUCKIN WELL MODELED!
You want to use this on the way in through your Apollo for the Preamp and print it then in every other cases use the Legacy version for EQing. I have an OCTO card as well as a QUAD and I tend to do an 8 Channel summing mix after I've finished my mix. 8 Channels of this and you'll have something very very unique my friends!
10/10

Scary close to hardware
I own 2 heritage audio 1073/500 units, the plugin used as unison on an apollo unit gets really close to the hardware. Is there a difference? Yes, but is it 1900USD better? I dont think so...if i didnt own the hardware ones i would not hesitate to put this on every mic as preamp. Even i own the hardware i still use the plugin if i need more than 2 since i have just 2 of them...

Nice
This plugin sounds great. The UAD products sound so close to the hardware its amazing. I am so glad I purchased this item and I'm looking forward get buy a few more items.

bringin vocals and other to front
I use this preamp mainly in mixing jobs where i have to bring a (vocal or even some kind of "lead") track to stand out to the front of the speakers, where it is very useful to me. It would be nice to hear it compared to the original on which i'm unfortunately did not have any access. In most situations where distortion is required it helps me as long as it is very subtle - for stronger distortion i have to add other tools into the chain. I would not pay 300 bucks for it, but for the half the price is OK. How far the plugin "rulez" during recording with compatible UAD hardware is out of my current scope - would nice to try it byself sometimes in the next.

The best!
I used to vocal track.
My truck is now that there is a presence.
It is a very nice product!

Amazing sound, heavy on DSP
This plugin is the only one that comes close to capturing the classic 1073 sound. Fat and rich with harmonics. It can add some very nice distortion to sources.
The EQ sounds very sweet, but it could use one more band. Also I wish the gain knob could be turned in smaller steps since it's tied to the actual preamp in Unison mode.
The only real downside is the DSP usage. It makes it fairly useless when mixing unless you have a huge system. That's why it only gets four stars. But as a unison plugin when recording it's simply wonderful.
You also get the old version when purchasing, but it does not add any harmonics or distortion, only clean EQ curves. Certainly useful and not heavy on the DSP, but not as sweet sounding.

A must own !!
I use this as a unison insert while recording vocals.they blend so nice with this enabled.saves time during mixing because the tone is right .A must have Imo.

Neve 1073
I have 2 Brent Avril 1073 hardware pieces and find the UAD 1073 software very very good in replicating tone...it's the closest I've found to the real thing. . They did a good job...a number of companies attempting to replicate this model seem to spend more time on the graphics that show up on your screen as opposed to focusing on the tone ...good job UAD!
Thnx
A. Spinato
Crystal Clear and Harmonically Tasty!
Well There are 238 previous statements here that sum up what I would say. The 1073 and the 610 are always in my unison preamp section!! I'm very happy with UA's products!
Thank You!
L. Ribeiro Leal
Awesome bur heavy!
The sound is amazing, and the possibilities are many. But it is a very heavy plugin, sonsome very DSP!

AFTER USING THE DEMO I HAD TO PURCHASE
I used the mic pre a amp when i worked at a big new york studio and it sounded amazing with any mic with a tube tech compressor. Deadly combination. So I've been waiting for a company to emulate this plug in. UA definitely hit the nail on the head the way this pre amp sounds thru the Unison technology pre amp. Its crazy the same way you use the actual pre amp adding either warmth or distortion it is as close to the real deal you can get. Universal Audio is the Walter White of the audio world helping people like me gain the access to amazing plug ins to substitute the classical and extinct hardware that Musicians, Producers or Engineers may lack. I use this plug in on vocals mostly. New Users get familar with plug in by watching the video.

Bleedin Price Drop !
Bought this yesterday for the ‘discounted’ price of $249 - only to see it dropped to $99 today !
It’s a great plug-in, deserving at least four stars, but I’ll only give it TWO because I feel cheated !

Ho my goodness...
I love this Neve 1073 preamp with my new apollo, it's ressource intensive but it sounds so great on any instrument.
My drums thank you for this one.

I like NEVE1073 preamp and eq
I like to use it on vocals, but it takes a lot of dsp.
A. Salganik
Awesome
Occupies 4x instances on quad card very power hungry
Sounds full and thick great to beef up the mix
G. Cordovez
Amazing Sound
This Plugin Sounds Awesome but the main reason to buy this guy is that Unison Technology, i've got a Neve 1073 Clone Preamp with Carnhill transformers and all and this plugin sounds very Similar!...so instead of having just one great preamp now i have Five! ( Apollo quad user Here! ), totally worth that price!...on mix mode it's a Fat and sweet plugin and you can crank it and it won't crap out!...i put 4 stars because the DSP consumption it's ridiculously...other than that, oh i love the fact that you get the Legacy versions...i didn't have that guys so having them no now it's a real treat!...
