Just love the Fairchild comps.. i use them a lot on vocals.... backing vox in particular. They rock!!!!!

great on inserts and mix bus
I had a client who loves the Beatles, and as soon as I slapped some Fairchild on the mix bus, things started sounding like the Beatles. I like to crank up the input gain to give it a little bit of sheen. I also used it in mid-side mode, where it controlled hard-panned doubled vocals.

This is the one!!!
I wanted this one instandly, it's my 'to go' compressor. It glues and fattens up my mixes, i use it a lot!

WOW!!!
Thank you UA for taking what was already a bad a** plug, and giving it a more modern set of features. The side chain just opens this beast up! Huge detailed sound.

Blissful.. A must-have if all you use is the Legacy currently.
See below really.. There are 5 stars all over the shop. Absolutely love these things, especially the 670. Amazing on anything, it seems to lift the signal as well as control it which is to to say it does what the hardware does. The 660 is a beauty too. I read somewhere that John Wood had one at Sound Techniques when he recorded Pink Moon and that's all he used for those tiny sessions. So I tried it on vocals and it is silky smooth as you would expect. Drums and the 670 are best buddies though. Lovely!

The Beast to have
It was on sale so the decision was easy to get the Fairchild Compressor. It has a great sound that can be transparent or colored depending what you want to use it on. It is a very smooth Beast!

Worth of upgrading
I'm a previous user of legacy product and using 670 mainly on master 2-track bus. What I found, 660 is an excellent compressor for mono all around purposes, it's was a missing piece between 1176 and LA-2A. Works extremely well with individual tracks like synth stabs, basses, guitars, as it has more aggressive behaviour

Fat and warm
I have never had the privalage of tracking or mixing through one of these analog boxes, but I will say that the plugin sounds amazing. I have found a use for it with drums and guitars. I like it for some vocal applications as well. Highly recommend. I run a hybrid studio and will grab for this sometimes before going for one of my analog compressors. Great job UA! I look forward to seeing what you guys are working on now. Hoping for more preamps! Cheers!

Instantly made it into my mix template
I've had the great fortune to have used a fairchild 660 on a couple of occasions and it instantly became apparent why the 660 and 670 had earned their reputations. I've used some of the other emulations around but this one stands out and reminds most accurately of the 660's I've gotten to play with in the past. Very colorful and now more flexible than any other emulation with the ability to adjust H.R. and DC thresholds, sidechain HP, and the always welcome mix control. This thing is an absolute monster in parallel !!!

Worth it!
Universal Audio did a good job with the Legacy Fairchild. I still use it. I live the driving, pleasant, smooth character it adds to my vocal tracks. The Fairchild Collection is a step further and gives me even more control ( also worth it!). You are now able to sonically sculp even more pleasant vocals. The harmonic shine on vocals makes it so nice with the 670. The 660 has a warm slightly darker character to my ear. Helps with gritty guitars. So if you were wondering if its worth getting even though you already have the Legacy version, it is worth it. And I'll say it again-UAD did a fine job with the Legacy version of the Fairchild 670. The Fairchild Collection, once you hear it, will only make more sense to have it too. Thank you UAD.

Impresionante su timbre.
Si ya la versión antigua de las UAD-1 me gustaba, esta nueva versión añade un timbre que no estaba antes.
Realmente impresionante el carácter que toma la pista, sobre todo en bajos y voces. En guitarras acústicas también me gusta mucho.

Superb Plug-in!
I've had the pleasure of using the hardware Fairchild 670 at Sarm West Studios and this plug-in is an amazing recreation. I've used the Legacy version a lot and this is a brilliant upgrade. Mix knob and sidechain knob and headroom screw are very useful. Big thanks Universal Audio team.

Great Colour! Must have
I work in a music house for advertising&films, and we are nicely surprised with the Fairchild, the coulour and its musical touch.
We think that along with de Teletronic and the 1176 it is a must have!
great Work UAD!
Thanks!
