UA 610 Tube Preamp
Nice job UA. A great emulation of a classic. The best sounding vocals and acoustic guitar recordings

Perfect for multi-takes or comping
When doing multiple takes audio tends to sound slightly different from each other, especially with vocalists.
The worst is when they take a sip of that water, instant brightness.
The LA-2 with its super slow release fixes all this.
Simply (seriously simple to use) amazing.

Makes my guitars sound fantastic.
I just have the free 610B that came with the Apollo twin. It's magical. I have been trying for years to get the sounds this plugin gives me. I'm really happy with UA. When my RME Babyface died I decided to try the Twin and I'm glad I did. Now I have the warm, fat, brown sound coming out of my amp and my monitors. I don't know or care how they did it, I just glad they did. Without the 610 pre the Twin sound exactly like the RME, but with it...it's pure warmth and sweetness. Nice job UA...5 stars.

Great set of plug-ins!
These three emulations are fantastic! They do everything that you ask them to do. And the artist presets are great starting points that encourage tweaking and digging into these compressors to find new sounds. Absolutely solid. Totally worth the purchase!

Magic box
It's a funny thing for me now to want to have an eq which is very subtle.I don't mean to say that you can't turn the effect right up on this unit but each time I use the Pultec its one freq at a time and a little tickle goes such a long way.
I used the high pass / low pass mod on an old track that had a muddy bottom end and turned the high pass up one notch from the off or zero position.
The sad thing is I think a lot of people are going to start using this thing and its sound will become a bit common.
But that's not bad because that's a sweet sound to have all around the place !

A Must Have Plugin
I use UAD Plugins quite a lot. If I could turn back time - THIS one would have been my first choice. Especially the UA 610 - A with the Apollo Interface offers a hole new Dimension of Sound.

Simply wonderful
These plugins are lush, fat, funky, crisp, punchy and much more. Simply wonderful!

75% There….
The issue with plugins that emulate hardware is…is they're not hardware. It's a snapshot of the character of hardware that fluctuates according to how it's been written. Plugins simply lacks being 'alive'.
So are these emulations crazy good which make me want to unload my hardware…ummm, no. But, do they help the sonic character? Well, yeah but it's like placing an emulated EQ on the source. If plugins would give me the harmonics and dimension of hardware I would give it 6 stars!

Upgrade path to hell
So I got this plugin. Won't work on my system because you must have the latest OS which means a new Mac new interface and new UA hardware as all the FireWire shit has changed. I think I have decided to say fuck off to UA and this upgrade hell. To use this plugin will cost about 5 k. I could possibly get a real one and it would always work. This one won't. Not worth it anymore. Let's see useless PCMCIA card, useless FireWire 800 UAD 2 that is about as reliable as an old Fiat and an Old Mac Pro with UAD 1 cards. Most useless audio gear I have ever collected. Goodbye to UA crap!
You asked for a review you deserve worse

Excellent sound quality
Like most people, I've never had the good fortune to use a real Fairchild, but I've certainly auditioned my fair share of plug-in emulations of this iconic compressor/limiter. The new collection has that special something that just sets it above every other emulation/model I've worked with and there's no way I can ever go back!
J. Neale
sounds great!
definitely worth the money spent. the sounds compared to others is much better.
it also saturates when driven and that is exactly what i needed from it.
great on drums, vocals, bass etc...

Beautiful Hardware
This software version of the Leveler is so faithful to the original. I am so glad that I purchased it.
P. Jonsson
Awesome
Just used it tracking bass - and man what a feeling... And listening back... what can I say: Awesome
S. Cooley
New Fairchild great for adding the " Special " Sauce
Adds the special stuff even if you don't touch the knobs.
The new control layout really speeds up the adjustment possibilities
for getting your sound just like you need it.
The old version was a favorite and this one
cranked it to eleven

LA-2A collection, must have
As the legacy version of this was a got to have on many of
my tracks I did not think it could really be that different on the
new collection of these to warrant the expense.
I was mistaken, these have a great sound and expand the options
for coloring quite a bit.
Thanks UA

610 preamp collection
Smooth and sweet, where tone and soul meet.
One of my new favorites for capturing the truth in a performance
with my Apollo. A great emulation of a classic.

Big step up from the Legacy
I demoed these recently and will be buying very soon! I still love and use the Legacy 1176LN but this new collection is definitely a big step up sonically. Just like the LA2A collection, having the three options makes this collection super versatile. Best 1176 emulations I've heard.
R. Sheridan
Best emulations by far!
Bought these as i wasn't convinced by other companies emulations, Best decision ever!!! the AE model is my favourite of the collection its a go to for most things
Great job UA!!!
A. Patrois
Incredibly authentic
I admit I haven't used more than iteration of the LA2A, so the different versions i cant speak for. however; The one I am familiar with, sounds perfect, using the same pre, going into a real LA2A into the apollo using a true system precision 8, one real, one emulated, mic splitter, accurate down to the sample. Pretty incredible.
R. Bonilla
Not Even an Expert Can Tell the Difference from Hardware and Plugin
This in combination with the a 1176LN vocals never sounded so perfect vintage quality, hip hop vocals never sounded so great thanks UA
