One of UA's Best
UA continues to hit home runs, I recently got the AMPEX and thought I'd heard it all until I spent some time with their new reworking of the Fairchild.
I would buy this compressor if ONLY for drums, but it works on almost anything really well. The "mix" knob sure makes life easy not having to set up a parallel compression buss, and the overall sound is wonderful....from subtle to extreme things sound richer and warmer and in the case of drums, wonderfully punchy.
Best Fairchild emulation I've heard, period. Next best thing to the real thing, which I used on Abbey Road in the Sixties.

The Best Fairchild emulation ever.
I have personally compared the competitor's plugins to the UAD before purchase and I was fascinated by the way it sounds.
I loved it on drum buses, mix buses, and 660s on any mono tracks. The parallel compression mix knob is a big thumbs up, since it is used everywhere in today's productions, it just makes my life easier.

Great plug!
A very competent unit that excel on a multitude of various tasks. I tend to use it (670) on guitar bus and sometimes master bus, but 660 is great on snare, bass etc as well. 670 on Acoustic guitar is a killer, will add character to any vocal (play around with the headroom!) and is almost as good on strings and orchestral as it's hardware dad. I've worked with the hardware in various studios, and although I can't honestly say it's equally comparable, these plugs are certainly up there and will require quite a bit of ear and knowledge to dismiss as simply emulations. Should belong in your go-to setup.

An Absolute Bargain
Got these at the bargain price of £35, the sale price was £75 then I had a £40 off coupon for registering. Fab sounding compressors, lovely warmth and smoothness, been using it on everything form vocals to the master bus. Use quite a lot of DSP though or I would have one on every channel. Keep great deals like these coming.

Analog touch in a digital domain
To me the Fairchild Tube Limiter Plug-In Collection adds (while mastering) an analog vibe to the digital mix. When mixing I use this plugin on certain channels or instruments. With the Fairchild Tube Limiter Plug-In Collection my set up is complete for the mixing & mastering process.

Il mix,il sidechain e ... Gran compressore
Ottimo il poter decidere il wet della compressione con tanto di sidechain sulle basse ... Ideale su pianoforti e chitarre! Sempre più contento di utilizzare UAD.
Una marcia in piú!

Amazing on virtual piano!
This plugin is very impressive, I barely had to tweak anything, i thought it would squash my piano and mes dynamics but with very subtle compression it made my virtual piano sound amazing, it wasn't sounding bad before, but this brought it to another level. This will be my next purchase.

One word is beautiful.
I started with the 1176 collection and moved on to the amazing LA-2A and now i am trying to wrap my mind around this beast. Such beautiful stuff, both the GUI and the sound. Really creamy sound!
H. Gu

I've just got a one word comment; Awesome.
The mix and side chain knobs are extremely useful.
K. Smithers
Awesome compressor
Sounds incredible. Adds depth and warmth. You can tell the time the guys at UA spent sampling this to get it just right. Must have!
H. Kim
Good sound
very good sound.
A little inconvenient because there is no noise reduction function.

Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection
Excellent plug-in emulation of the Fairchild Tube Limiters! We've used several at Blackbird Studios in out of the box mixes, but having one for in the box mixing makes it that much better! Love it!

Low/mid cohesion
Well, I gave some 670 to the master busses of all ten tracks of a post-death/metal project with just a touch of compression (1-1.5 dB) and received a very valuable low/low-mid cohesion in return. It's a very pleasing sounding, useful compressor, I think, also for drum busses.
