Very good, giant,
In all he is connected is perfect, both before and after the master. Can not be without this.

Excellent!
Like it very much. Natural sound and a lot of character...

The most beautiful sounding EQ I've ever heard
I never thought I would consider an EQ beautiful sounding. Most EQs are just functional. The Neve EQs add a sheen that is very useful. The SSL adds strength. The Manley Massive Passive is very smooth in it's equalization, but also adds a quality to the sound that I just have to describe as "beautiful". Cambridge EQ was always my goto tool for eq. It is now the Manley Passive.

Tape saturation!
this one gets many uses...
i use it to obtain realistic tape saturation when gain pushed hard...awesome!
also great as an equalizer....especially to soften the high end
and of course multiple instances can be used to add color and tape feel to the whole mix
highly recommended!!!

Impressive
I have had the opportunity to use the Struder A800 on each of the tracks in several projects. The tracks include: vocal, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, dobro, midi piano and midi drums. Using the Struder adds a feeing of depth to the tracks and a sense of making the mix sound more alive. This has been a very useful addition to my DAW. I should add that mixing with the Struder and then using the Ampex ATR-102 in my mastering setup has impressed me, and just as important, the artists I have been workng with. Thank you UAD.

The Tape Dream
Always loved the sound of tape. It just seems to easy now... but I'm not complaining

Worth it!
Once I tried these and compared them to the legacy, it was pretty much a night and day difference. I love that with these you have 3 different options and especially within each the emphasis knob is there to fine tune it to your material for which frequencies you want compressed. Though i've never used the original hardware, compared to what the la2a plugin was before, these seem to be a giant leap ahead, with such impressive tonal qualities, you can't really pass it up!

Brilliant!
This plugin is so close to the original that I had too sell my unit, no point in keeping it.
Buy it!

The Studer is good, the Ampex is phenominal
This is much more than just a mastering plugin, it's great on tracks too. Ampex made multitrack versions, the ATR-116 and ATR-124, although I've never seen one. The UA plug is a bit too DSP-heavy to use as a track insert, so I print the tracks in a batch process and it is just gorgeous. To be honest the Studer plug doesn't get much use these days, and if I had to choose just one, then Ampex all the way.

Nicely updated Pultecs
In a busy or dense mix, you might not notice much difference over the legacy version, but on airy or sparse material it shines, much like the Manley. The new filter is just beautiful, icing on the cake. Ideal for any sound that needs to stay clean and natural. Although it does have a definite color, the tone shaping is more like sandpaper than a chainsaw. Engineers printed it for decades because it's pretty hard to mess anything up going in. Coming from that background, if I had an Apollo I'd probably print it even today. Now the slight downside: although the plugins are neatly stacked in the graphic, they are individual instances. Unless UA comes up with a chainer, it would be nice to also have a stacked version, like the Pultec Pro.

You wanna tape?!
If you wanna REAL character of REAL tape, just buy this plugin!!!!!
Nothing in the world of plugins (except Studer plugin) sounds like that!
Not 100% real ATR-102. But, really 99%. But, who cares about this one percent?!
R. Bozhok
Amazing!
With dbx160 plugin, I can "insert" any bass drum to any mix! With only two knobs I can get any type of attack and punch. Very useful and time-saver plugin!

A massive improvement and nice tonal pallette
I found these plugins much more usable than the old plugins which is still very usable. I compared these against the CLA compressors and they seem to offer a fair bit more depth, they seem less 'processed' sounding than their competitors too. each one has a slightly different texture as well which makes them suited to different applications. been a long time since I played with a hardware version but the transparency (maybe not the right word) and grit feels very familiar.

Very Happy
This plugin sounds big and three dimensional. Going between the new Pultec Collection and the old Pultec plugin really shows how far they've come. Good job UAD!

lexicon 224
Best sounding digital verb that ive owned. I was mixing a cd for an artist, demo'd this unit, then went back and replaced almost all of the lead vocal reverbs with the 224. just sounds amazing...
.
224 is good, but limited.
Great reverb! However it only work well on certain sources as it is somewhat limited in editing parameters. I have the Lexicon PCM reverb bundle which I find myself using more. But for the money and quality, the 224 is a good buy.

I don't know much
but i know these sound stinkin' AWESOME!!!! I have never heard one of these in real life, only seen them, so I am not comparing them to the real deal. In comparison to any of my other software compressors tho, it's pretty much no competition yo.

Great plugin
I can't tell about the real one, but this wonder from uad really delivers what I was looking for!

My go to for busses!
This thing is a beast! Sonically it imparts something very special and can really help to glue together tracks on a buss. All the joys of tape without the headaches.
