I'm back :) and miss this one

My favourite Fairchild plugin emulation.

I was away from UAD for some time, because I've run out of PCie and now with the Thunderbolt versions it make think of it again. I miss some plugins and this one is by far the best emulation I've heard of a Fairchild.

Nice compression

Ottimo plugin, mi piace molto sui bus, specie della batteria o anche solo sugli OH. Trovo molto utile l'utilizzo in configurazione M/S....aiuta a ridurre la quantità di rullante negli OH quando capita di mixare riprese fatte male. Da avere!

Freaking Wicked Awesome!!!

Thank you UAD for the great sounding compressor. Mastering Engineer friend turned me onto this compressor. It's a sound. A beautiful sound and so many applications! It's a huge part of the sound I've been searching for.

Excellent !

Excellent Compressor, compression on the point. The Fairchild plugin makes a beautiful coloring. The 670 is great for Mastering.
The Lat/Vert mode is very useful for nearly each signal. The legacy version is definitely far away from the remodeled Version. Great job !

Wow, this is really nice.

Love this thing, I have a hardware clone of the fairchild which sounds awesome, but I only have one. This I can use anywhere in the mix. Great modeling!

I so agree!

I love the butter here! I have had the classic version since the UAD-1 plug. But it's now got a full modeling of the tube warmth and the color of the transformers etc! And what a color! I can just add it in to the mix and it sound better. But after using a preset or tweaking same. Now I have got a sound Bill himself would be proud of.....

Like others have said this is my got to comp. 1st one every time!

An astonishing array of possibilities!

Using this with my modular synthesizer has unlocked tonal variations that I never new existed before now. Can be subtle to radical depending on how heavy a hand I use when mixing. Really pleased with this in my arsenal.

Simply AMAZING!!

There is no way around being skeptical if upgrading your legacy plugins to MK2 is going to be worth it or not. The Fairchild bundle is simply worth every penny!! It instantly adds the character that I am looking for and being able to have multiple Fairchilds at hand is simply a NO BRAINER!!!!

Mojo!

Have only used the hardware on a couple of projects so can't really tell if it's spot on or not, but this thing has mojo! I usually only mix with hardware compressors on the mixbus, but this plugin is one of the few out there that sounds analogue and that deals with complex program material in a convincing way.

One of my favorite Plugins!!!!!

This is one of my all time favorite plugins. I love the way it colors the tone on a drums buss or any channel you use it on. The dynamics are marvelous with this plugin.

Great compression and color

I have never been in the same room as the hardware unit so I cannot comment on the veracity of the modeling of the original unit. I have a bedroom studio that I am on the cusp of being able to call a project studio as i track guitars and vocals there for other studios, and some other tracking for people.

The Fairchild is perfect for bringing vintage tube style compression and vibe to my tracks. I love it more for its color than its compression, but the compression is punchy and very musical. Perfect on drums or bass. Great for guitars too that are a bit pokey in the mix. Havent used it on vocals yet.

The side chaining and parallel options on the plugin makes it really versatile in modern productions.

A compressor with character

Never been fortunate enough to use an original but what I can say, regardless of comparisons, is that this compressor adds a certain liveliness and colour, which was something missing from my arsenal. Very pleased with this plug-in!

Sweet

It amazed me from the second I loaded it on to an acoustic guitar track! It fit like a glove and imparted a natural gut sound that I never knew could be captured! Sweet!
Thanx UAD!

Sold 2 of my kids to buy this... and it was worth it!!

My kids never worked as hard as this compressor does... It's a shame that it doesn't make me coffee. But other than that - no complaints at all. Would do it all over again!!!!

It sounds great on Drums (if you feel your song even needs those loud things), vocals (male, female, and mermaids too), kazoo, Stereo bus, Greyhound Bus... really just about anything. I even loaded the Fairchild on an empty channel and started dancing in the studio. I have to be honest - my dancing skills improved immensely. It was truly a sight to behold. The heavens were moved by the moves coming from my barely clothed body.

So needless to say, you can't go wrong with this plugin! You won't regret it. And neither will your soulmate/lover.

From the moment I plugged in and got the Fairchild up and running I was a very happy camper. Thank you UA you did it again all my UA products helps to make my recordings stand out.

Smooth

Setting higher time constants has helped me get silky smooth piano, bass, and acoustic sounds. I use this plugin in every mix... Completely indispensable.

All The Color You Need

This thing can sound good on just about anything with the time constant controls. It adds its warmth and color even if you're just touching the gain reduction. Consequently, its great even for the less aggressive program material. I personally love using it on a drum bus or bass to beef it up a bit. Very versatile compressor with an excellent tone.
