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.

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.

MIX MAGIC!
I don't know how I mixed without this collection. Beautiful side chain options!

not my go-to, but still handy to have in the toolbox
i use this plug on more subtle instruments & voc. i would reach for the LA-2 or the 1176 most of the time, before i use the Fairchild, but still has it's place.

Fairchild Collection: So far so good!!!
This comp sounds great, but I admit it's not one of those units you master in a day. Need to really spend some time with time constants. That switch makes a huge difference in what the comp is doing.

The Fairchild compressor just simply improves the sonic characteristics of just about anything that passes thru it. Enough said.

UAD Fairchild 2.0.... Really LOVE it!
This is the version I have been waiting for. So easy to use; so easy to get that sound
K. Hernandez
Good tool !
good tool to have, at a good price instead of paying 50k for the hardware. Pair it with the 1176 and LA2A and your on your way.
T. Vines
Great sound in the box
I own a couple Fairchild emulations and this is the richest sounding of the lot. It's a great plugin!!
