Add the Iconic Tone of Two Compressors

The Fairchild 670 and companion, the Fairchild 660, have defined some of popular music’s most revered sounds. Renowned for its aggressiveness, the 660 punches up piano, bass, and guitar, tracks, while the flagship 670 is a full stereo compressor that injects vibe and color onto channels, final mixes, and even masters.

Blend Sounds with the Wet/Dry Mix Control

Blend Sounds with the Wet/Dry Mix Control

The Mix control lets you blend your unprocessed signal with the compressed signal, opening worlds of textural possibilities on everything from a drum bus to a mix bus.

Enhance Drums with Sidechain Filters

Enhance Drums with Sidechain Filters

Punch up your drum bus without triggering the threshold of the compressor with the kick drum, for drums with max impact using the Fairchild's Sidechain Filters.

Add Grit with the Headroom Control

Add Grit with the Headroom Control

The Headroom (HR) control can be increased to make mastering applications a breeze, raising the gain reduction threshold and lowering distortion. Conversely, you can decrease headroom, lowering the gain reduction threshold and raising distortion for grittier textures that work on everything from vocals and drums to guitar and bass.

      670 or 660 reasons why you should buy the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection.


      Reason No. 660 - Smooth response at a controlled pace.
      Reason NO. 670 - Clibration to fit any instance.

      Now I fell in love with this compressor back in the day (not that far back) when I got another companies version of the Fairchild, this made everything sound MASSIVE (T Rex big), but there was a layer of mud I didn't like once I got the hang of mixing. Also, without that added calibration control, I could never get that needle to move ( I thought I needed a doctorate) That being said (like spoken word) this version of that tube compressor from Universal (not the film studio) Audio is actually the best rendition I have used to date.

      Excellent sounding plugin

      The plugin sounds excellent and you can really here the results. The UADx version crashes Ozone 9 which is a problem for my mastering work considering the price of the plugin. The classic UAD version works well though.

      JUSTE MAGINIFIQUE !

      premier test sur le master bus, une compression super légère à -0.5db...le son traverse la machine et la magie opère. Forcément on ne doit pas attendre quelque chose de transparent, mon ressenti est qu'il apporte comme un filtre granuleux qui est chaud et doux. Je ne l'ai pas encore testé sur des pistes voix ou basse, mais je ne doute pas qu'il va apporter ce caractère analogique attendu ! Full of MOJO

      sound like the real thing

      I like the warmth and details, magic under the hood/UAD plugs are great

      Vibey drums for days

      Been using this for a while now on my drum bus for more vintage sounding compression, a great alternative to the more transparent and cleaner options that UA have to offer.

      Really good

      This is as close to the hardware as I've heard, In a mix I don't think you'd be able to tell the difference. Sounds awesome.

      Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection

      I had this with uad 1 but did not use it much. I love the smoothness and phatness this offers to a vocal. I will be tring it on other things. I would love to see more of the plugins sold at a reasonable price expecially for tose who own previous versions.

      BEST EMULATION

      I love how it sounds compared to other emulations. UA never fails on their plugins.

      I can hear the difference in sound

      I'm an amateur, so I don't know the subtle differences in sound, but with UAD, I can tell the difference. It's a very beautiful sound.
