Worth the wait for Native
Having 14 DSP’s in total spread across an Apollo and two Satellites I was still limited to a relatively small number of instances that I could run - not anymore, on my M1 Max Mac Studio, I’ve literally put the native plugin on every audio channel in Pro Tools (at least 16 instances) and along with the other UAD Native plugins I’ll have in the session (Distressor, LA-2A, 1176, EMT140, Sunset Studio and more) I’m still only hitting around 65% CPU.
Prior to the native versions, I had to compromise - and it is a compromise - by using other vendors emulations which quite frankly don’t compare (not naming names, but one of them does charge for an update plan which you can choose not to take up, but you wonder sometimes what are you getting for your money).
Ok, let’s address the elephant in the room - existing DSP owners of the original plugin.
I was expecting this to appear in my UA Connect itinerary as with previous plugins , but adding in external sidechain functionality is not a simple case of adding a button to the UI, so $9.99 is a small price to pay for a feature that works flawlessly.
Bottom line, and this is what it boils down to, it is hands down the best sounding SSL emulation I’ve used, and having an Apollo also allows you to record using the preamps.

very good!!!
finally in the native version, although I have a UAD card, but in native mode it's super, less load on the card. 10 dollars is not a pity

The best hands down
Beats all other SSl chanel and bus comp manufacturers offerings hands down. Why? It leaves the integrity of your signal alone, but It can be clean or driven, smooth or smacking. You are always adding something good with these. It sounds so much closer to a hardware sound than others. It sounds tight and focused. Other offerings sound like dirty cardboard chab and just end up sounding distorted and brittle and cold. The UAD plugs allow me to get the sound in my head quicker and with fewer plugins per channel. Only takes seconds now to get a source sitting in the mix as opposed to minutes of loading up various eqs, compressors, saturators etc from other manufacturers to get worse results. Dang UAD I'm glad these are native now. Where have you been all my life. Seriously if you are considering other option I wouldn't waste the time. Wait for a big special and get these. I am in no way affiliated with UAD. Just a stoked user. Instance uses 9 to 13% cpu on my ryzen 5 3600. I can easily run all the uad plugs I need native to finish mixes. Happy mixing! I'm in love. Especially with the ability to drive the mic pre transformer AND output fader, trim the digital out on rock drums for that delicious sound.

The Greatest of All Time
I owned Brainworx SSL 4000 E Console. I owned Waves SSL E Channel Strip. I also owned Waves CLA Mixhub and Waves SSL EV2. I have used Solid State Logic's channel strips and Slate Digital VMR.
Still, nothing beats this.

Better than SSL
In comparison with the SSL Plugin version, very good. How can a 3rd party emulation be better than the Original manufacturer? I cancelled my SSL subscription finally because all the Plugins sounds so bad, and, since I listen to the UA version, yes nearly perfect.

La meilleure version de toutes
Maintenant, avec un ordinateur puissant, on peut mettre ce plugin qui surpasse tous ses semblables sur toutes les tracks de nos mix. Wow! J'aimerais juste pouvoir l'insérer comme Console plugin dans Luna.
