simply better....
This plugin version of the API's are simply just great!
I have a good list of plugins that i've used through the years of mixing and producing but this just sounds right.
Why use or buy an EQ or compressor if it doesn't sound better on the source than what a "natural" compressor all ready does(?), or more correct they effect of what EQ and compression does.
The UAD API 560 does something musical and want-able on drums (and other stuff), has an amazing way of adding what I want in 90% of the case by just adding it to the CS, or sometimes take the parameters to the extreme, dosen't matter... cause it keep on sounding good... just like good hardware EQ's usally does.
REALLY good work you guys at Universal Audio!!!

A river of tears of JOY
I could go on forever about how awesome these plugins are. The 550A is nothing short of perfection on bass. The 560 is equally impressive on just about everything else. Sometimes, if the EQ of the 560 doesn't benefit the channel, I bypass the EQ and leave the plugin on pass-through just for the added magic of the API modeling. These are two of the finest sounding emulations ever made. They truly sound like hardware. God knows I could never afford the quantity of these I have in any given session now.
If you are hesitating to buy these, stop hesitating.

API 500 EQ
Hi,
This review will be short:
The new API 500 Serie EQ plugins are just the deal !
In my case, the 560 EQ is the first EQ I try on every track, and never had to look for a better one since UAD released it.
This EQ is just simple, and very effective.
A "go to " choice..
I had the original (2x) and now just sold it, as it was getting frustrating to do not be able to use it more often easily.. (I used Q-clone)..
Now this time has gone.. :-)
The more often you open it, the more is sounds like you worked on an API desk.
I just love it..

PURE MAGIC
Therie is nothing but "pure magic" to say. One of the very best UAD plugs. Thank you all in UAD.

Simple and effective
Just remixed a tune with new plugins and wanted a simple Graphic EQ. Demoed the API and it immediately did exactly what I wanted and sounds great. 300.00 seems a bit steep compared to what I paid for the Manley, Studer and Ampex but as soon as UA does another discount offer I'm grabbing it.

In Your Face Punch
I have been patiently waiting for UA and Api to get this plugin to market since they first announced a partnership, and it was worth the wait. This eq has such a tight punchy Q great for drums, guitars, bass, and vocals you name it. This will add tons of character to your recordings. Lets see now if UA can get a 550B, 2500, or 527 compressor plugin into my DAW. Put it in the cart. Thanks UA and Api.

APIs Fatten & Clarify
Iv'e been using these puppies since UA dropped UA 6.5 on us...today!!!
I own the APi TCS and these emus are great - I'll be keeping the TCS tho, the 527 Comp and preamps are just to good in real life...
Now come on UA its time you got modelling some serious pr-amps for us all!!!!!
Meanwhile if you like punch clarity and flavour - hand over your cash to UA they are doing a great job as usual!!

Just what I needed!!!
Amazing EQ the 560 just makes things sound right!_

Superb!
Tried the 560 on a badly recorded guitar track and it was just what I've been looking for. I had a ridiculous EQ chain to try and improve the sound, now I only have the 560 and it sounds so much better. Can't wait to try this on other material.
