Manley - the sensible eq
You can use a Pulteq to add air, body and indescribable body to your sound. You can use any amount of wierd filtering to add interest to your sound But at the end of the day you will need a powerful, sensible eq to tame lumpy bottom end, remove glug in the mids and tame wild idiosyncrasies. That's why I got the Manley and that's what it does. I needed a good sounding EQ tool to sort out my basses and deal with bottoms and low mids. I highly recommend it.

Lexicon 224 all round gorgeous
Vocalists I have recorded recently love to hear this reverb back through the headphones so now it has to be there all the time. For a simple recording of a singer with acoustic guitar accompaniment I used a single instance subtly applied on the master buss and it's all that was needed to give the finished track the right ambience. Haven't wanted to use any other reverb since I got this one.

Different characteristics
I was happy with the 1176 revisions that came with my Apollo but was happy about buying the additional versions. These really add a different character to your sound and can compress is ways that do other comp can.
Heck, just even running them if the "off" mode will still add a wonderful character to your sound!!

Saturation at Its Finest
I was skeptical of anything to do with tape.
I demoed it, comparing it to the Ampex emulation. The Ampex was blown out of the water.
With this, you can adjust how much analog hiss you add to the signal... it's nice to do be able to do that.
It's almost like EQ by adjusting the high freq on it.
Try it out; you'll fall in love with its distortion properties and warm sound. Once you add it to your signal path, you simply cannot take it off. Happens to me, every time.

Finally I have my own 224
And it works just like the real thing! I know, 'cause I have now used both. And together with my Apollo, this reverb is going to be stored in my ProTools presets.
Thank you UA for putting so much effort in making your fantastic plugins!

Each of these compressors has a different flavor and the preesets gave me a good way to understand how to use them and the more i am using them the more i am loving them looking forward to the LA 2A bundle this stuff is great

Classic Compressors
I got these with my new Apollo purchase and lucky they were 150.00, very very nice sounding and versatile. These and the Lexicon and Neve 88RS is an excellent deal this month...

Simply Fantastic
My real Rev E 1176 went out just as I was going to mix. Lucky for me, we had just added a UAD Octo to the studio, and the 1176 Classic Limiter Plug was on trial. We replaced the Rev E with a Classic Collection Rev E and never looked back - it was that good. After getting the mix dialed in, we decided to play around a little bit with the Rev A ... AMAZING.
The HW is still in Universals hands getting resuscitated, but we've not stopped moving forward using the Classic Limiter Collection.
I'm excited for the LA-2A Collection and dream of a newly reworked LA-3A Collection.
Great Plug-In Collection - definitely a life-saver!

Vocal Perfection
At my studio we mostly do hip hop and with inexperienced artist they tend to be really dynamic. these compressors make everything so smooth without over compressing ive never heard a real 1176 but when i do i hope they sound exactly like these

warm and deep reverb
Its warm and deep and I really love the sound but you have to be careful. Don't use to much if you don't want your mixes to get to full (to warm).
I don't know the original hardware reverb but I this is really a good reverb and sound different from many other reverbs out there. Its perfect for solo instruments and vocals.
The price is high but you get a good plug in. The CPU is less so thats also a good thing.
Really love this reverb.
good job !

Best 1176 software emulation
Best sounding software compressors I have ever used.
Like the original hardware modules it's sounding amazing. I compared it with other 1176 emulations but as expected from UAD this is without any doubt the best.
It's simple and effective. Perfect on vocals and bas sounds but I don't like it on most of the string and keys sounds.
If you searching for the classic 1176 sound but can't pay the hardware this is a the best choice to make.
Thanks UAD for another awesome emulation!!

Studer is Essential
This has become an essential component of my sound. It sits on the first plugin slot on each of my Pro Tools HD Native slots. Sounds Amazing.
I must confess that Slate VTM got me started on this path, but it just consumed my PT HD Native Host processor. I bought an Octo with the sole intent on using the Studer and Ampex tape plugs and I'm ecstatic I did.
The sound is fantastic.
One Suggestion: The Slate VTM "Group" option is a much nicer way of dealing with multiple machine settings. Love to see a "Machine" assignment setting incorporated into a future update of the Studer and Ampeg.
