Capture the Sound of Modern Music

Capture the Sound of Modern Music

By artfully capturing our "golden unit" Avalon's flagship VT-737 hardware's class-A tube amplifier section, LED-style optical compression, and discrete four-band EQ, you can give your tracks the signature Avalon sound heard on thousands of chart-topping hits.

Record Vocals and Bass “Through” a Hit-Making Tube Preamp with Apollo

Record Vocals and Bass “Through” a Hit-Making Tube Preamp with Apollo

UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology lets you track in realtime through the Avalon VT-737 Channel Strip plug-in using your Apollo, giving you the chart-topping sound of the original hardware’s line/mic preamp impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and exact circuit behaviors.

Experience Versatile Compression on Vocals and More

Experience Versatile Compression on Vocals and More

Excelling on vocals, bass, acoustic guitar, and voice-over work, the VT-737 plug-in's dynamics section gives your tracks the hardware's gentle touch, rather than adding squash or crunch. This transparent compression is perfect for "stacking" the compressor again at mixdown, so you can control a vocal in a dense mix.

Fine-Tune Your Mixes with Bold EQ

Fine-Tune Your Mixes with Bold EQ

The Avalon VT-737 plug-in's four-band EQ, gives your vocals a lively presence and sophistication, placing them front-and-center in any mix. Like the hardware, the EQ can be placed before or after the compressor, and the mid bands can be engaged as sidechain filters for laser-focused compression. And with the 32k high frequency "air band," you can add delicate shimmer to everything from strings to background vocals to acoustic guitars.

Silky Strip!!!

I have a ton of channel strips all of which are excellent plug-ins. But the Avalon VT-737 is the silkiest of all of them.. Put it on any or all the buses that you want and you'll end up with an awesome mix!

Sonido espectacular !

Siempre que uso El Avalon VT-737 Tube Channel Strip quedo sorprendido !
Un sonido muy natural sin afectar mucho las transientes y junto a su característico ecualizador y a su bella distorción armónica hacen que el resultado sea cristalino.
No me imagino una mezcla sin usar este plugin.

Big disappointment

I’m a UAD costumer for more than 7 years, and I got to say I’m really disappointed with the UAD hardware.
The plugins sound great, no latency.. bla bla bla

But!
Crushes a lot, many hardware problems
Connectivity problems with UA connect.. just not worth the money and the risk of my projects.

I need a solid and fast hardware when I’m creating, and UAD is making me deal with way too many things instead of just making music.

One more thing,
It works so bad that I actually prefer to create with my cheap behringer audio interface, no problems at all.
Most times the work flow is more important than the “quality”

One Of The Best Vocal Plugs EVER

This Is Mikie Da Poet, I am not sponsored by universal audio, I wanted to say that the 737 plug-in is 98% accurate to the hardware, for any producer or rapper singer, this is a must have, I believe this plug-in has a little bit of the magic from many of the great plug-ins, this is possibly one of the greatest plug-ins of all time

Smooth and warm on the Vocals

My first hit was tracked through the hardware version of this plugin. So, naturally i was wondering if the plugin would give me the same sounding vocals today. It did. The plugin performed very well, smooth and warm on the vocals with that signature Avalon-like sound. Well done UA

Couldn't get it to work on windows 11

After multiple attempts to run it and trouble shoot it i got it to run fine on windows 10 on my other machine. There's a development issue on 11 that needs a patch. Not satisfied with my purchase

OMG!! BY FAR THE BEST VOCAL PLUGIN I'VE EVER TRIED!!

i have tried many vocal plugins in my time and always wanted to buy the Avalon VT-737 Hardware but too pricey. I have never been so please with this plugin and best part are the preset for vocal in tracking and after recording. Love it!!
