Loving the warmth!

I just love how this warms up whatever you put through it - really added some oomph to a sax solo I was mixing.

Got To Get You Into My Life!

These are great sounding compressors! Even just the slightest bit of compression adds warmth and glue to a mix. They sound outstanding on drums! Hit them hard and they still sound extremely warm and musical! A must have!

The best one for sure!

Having played with a number of Fairchild emus I liked the Puigchild the most. That was until I finally made it to UAD. The Fairchild was the first one I had to buy given its enigma and others attempts I had favored of in its likeness. Whether this is holds a candle to the real deal is irrelevant to me. Until I find out I am completely content having this. It is becoming a go to and must have on my mixes which are benefitting from it.

Thats it!!!

I work with Cubase and normally with the compressors/limiters from Waves, wich are good too ... but the fairchild is better. It's like you come from the second league to the premier league or from a Ford to an Audi (sorry, I'm from Germany :-)
The 670 on the stereo bus makes a song fat, big, large - you have to hear it... it is indescribable - and if you own one it is an indescribable joy !!!

Fair play!

Expensive but worth the price. One familiar it has a great sound and omits the original fairchild character

Kicked my other Fairchild's to the curb

I really like the simplicity and sound of the Fairchild, and after demoing the UAD version I bought it to replace my Waves Puigchild and IK Fairchild haven't looked back.

Great Great!

It kills the Waves version in my opinion. I love it on Piano and bass. It's awesome on drums and vocals too. Great sounding, although I have never heard a real Fairchild on my own mix, but I think for this price the UAD can't be beat.

Great mix buss glue

Fantastic on my main mix bus! I've never used the hardware so can't compare to this but this is a fantastic plug in for me. I use this on almost every project. Side chain is always useful with kick drum heavy mixes as well. A++++

working great so far

very nice to have side chain filter and mix knobs on this version. More flexible and nice color - can't compare against the actual hardware as I don't own the actual hardware. lol.

Yes I paid a lot less than some other posters in this thread as it was first discounted because I bought the Fairchild legacy model 4 years ago, and also have a coupon (and it was on sale as well). Moral of this story? If you are worried about $50 then wait for the sale and a coupon.

reliability has been great with UAD system in general - this is a quad UAD-2 PCI card and as long as I have paid attention to the supported OSX then I have had no problems. On my older Mac Pro 1,1 I had to not bother with this new one. Now that I have upgraded all is good.

The Fez

I started putting the Fairchild on a couple of tracks such as electric guitar, bgs, keys and synths, I find myself placing it on more tracks as the sessions progress. I love the smoothness but sometimes wondered if it was really making that much of a sonic difference until I bypassed it. I really love the sonic glue and sheen.

MUST HAVE!!!

In the past, before I started with the UAD stuff, I used a lot of the Waves version and I liked it really - then I met the UAD Fairchild. Must admit that it is REALLY smooth and it kicks ass when it comes to glueing (can you call it glue? It´s somehting else..) stuff together with a certain kind of magic.

What I especially like is the kind of fullness the 670 brings for me on almost everything I wanna enchant with it, no matter if bass, buss or whatever I need. The 660 is IMHO a bit too aggressive, but since I had a liverecording with a band, incorporating a singer which was a bit weak in his voice on this day, I gave it a try and was suprised! I guess, not liking something is only a result of not trying all the capabilities.

My go to compressor already after the 2nd day of ownership

I want to say thank you to uad .you guys have allowed a guy like me to own gear I would have never been able to afford.this plugin has already added magic to tracks Ive done in the pass .. and helped spark a renewed interest in those track from customers that have heard the new mixes.thx Uad... This plugin is a must have one of my stranded desert island choices for sure.

Squeeze that Pleases!!

The sidechain feature is perfect for my quick masters, I don't think my mixes will exist without this plugin!

Great and usable

Does not take a lot of dsp and very usable on almost everything.

A must-have

The Fairchild limiter collection is a definite must-have. Of all the compressors I've acquired the 660 does something magical to a vocal that I've never been able to achieve before and the 670 also has its' own magic on stereo content.
Thanks Universal Audio for another winner!

Very Transparent and Warm

This bundle has turned out to be very versatile for keeping my master bus even without distorting the dynamics or musical characteristics.

Fantastic

i had longtime thought that i have several plug in which could give me something close of Fairchild, i was wrong ! Actually not so much but this collection really make simple mixing process toward others you can find in the market. I can only highlight the warm you can add on guitars or vocals ... simply incredible ! So yes now i know that is a "must have"
