sorry ... no go
I am not pleased by the current sell-out policy of UAD, gradually abandoning the support of the hardware versions. It makes me feel sad. If there may be reasons for (certain) plug-ins to run on hardware only, these the reasons for this should be communicated. But nothing is communicated, and that's very bad. If I prefer native, I would by somewhere else! It's great to have hardware plug-ins also in the form of native plug-ins, that's clear. But the tendency to ignore hardware plug-ins is somewhat distractive.

Just hype.
Can't say I like it much. Just doesn't feel or fit good in many instances I usually end up swapping it for either UVI's opal or anything from Softube.

Great Plugin!!!

Holy shit
Reading that Teletronix LA-2A Tube Compressor is Native only let's me think I was a fool to buy all the UAD hardware. These plugins are amazing stuff, but the current policy, that many new products are native only, is a very dangerous development.
