Fantastic!
I've recently bought the Apollo Twin (MK II) - again. I owned the MK I version a couple of years ago. Then I tried other, great interfaces. I had wanted to scale down my recording gear to the bare minimum without losing quality. And the quality of my equipment before purchasing the Apollo Twin MK II was high. However, I had felt that I also wanted a bit more variety in tone, plus, my voice, I thought, needed a bit more colour in my vocal chain instead of using only clean (despite being great) interface pres. So after considering hardware preamps, I decided to buy the Apollo again and using the 610 first (which is also beautiful) before later at some point buying the 1073 channel strip. This was also a decision based on monetary issues. Just as I was demoing the 1073 (I had owned it before but wouldn't have been able to justify the money at this point) again, I saw this little plug-in. And what can I say: THIS is all I need, namely, a beautiful and lush-sounding Neve-style preamp to get my recordings into my DAW. THIS is all I had wanted. Using my coupons as well, I now have an inexpensive but perfect recording chain. Somehow I also prefer the pure preamp sound of this Neve to the 1073...

Excellent plug-in
Love the warmth and sound this adds to everything I put it on. Excellent

Goto unison for analog synth and more
Love these "more straight" Variant of the 1073 for most recordings. Simple but versatile, the handling is bit new to ITB geeks (like me), who usually avoids "overdriving" any inputs. This thing "loves" high gains - more then the "full" 1073 Emu and more forgivin for my taste. This makes unisono even more useful for me. Nice!

UAD doing what UAD do well
This is a great more traditional emulation in UAD's comfort zone. The Neve emulations are my favourite, with SSL coming a close second. Of course I have never had the money or the opportunity to ever try out any Neve hardware as this world is very good at depriving, probably better than it does anything else. For that reason it is a good thing that UAD are around so all us mass paupers get to at least have some tools of our trade. UAD gave me this for £15 because I am a loyal long standing customer. I am very thankful to them. They have done me some great deals over the years and my music is much improved because of their software genius. They are the pigments. There are no other plug ins that colour so well with such unique and individual character.
This Neve Pre is very different to the 73. The 73 of course is perhaps the best software emulation of a Neve on the market. It knocks socks of Steinberg's Portico and all the others. This new Pre is a real tool. It works on everything and it has a very nice sound. The shape of the output sounds like better quality with slight gain and even a little pseudo Neve colour. All frequencies benefit and respond very well. It works with everything; the synths sound good, even deep real bass sounds good, drums sound great, keyscape LA Custom sounds BEAUTIFUL through this Pre.
Keep the useful plug ins coming. It is mighty hard work warming the digital waves up, lol, more like steps not waves. I still wish I had the best analoueg studio on the planet, with the best mixing desk and reel to reels. Yet that also comes with the need for a jolly reliable maintenance crew and regular expensive bills to buy their skills. All that is getting so rare now, may be even soon to become extinct.
I ask any developers out there: Keep helping all us poor people who have the passion for music to warm up our digital steps. Thanks.

Definitely Worth It
I wasn't sure, since I already own the 1073. But the price was right so I went for it. I'm now in a habit of visiting each track I don't love, add the preamp to it turn it up til I hear the amount of clipping I like, and then I like the track. I've even found it to be a great addition on my mix buss.

Decent plugin
Should have been free to folks who had the unison version of the 1073.

Top alternative zum großen Bruder
Wenn man nicht so eine große Menge Dsp hat ist dieser Preamp eine gute Alternative zum großen Bruder.
Liegt bei mir auf Sub Gruppen, dem 2Bus oder wird gezielt zum anzerren einzelner Quellen benutzt. Feiern wir sehr!!

Neve Quick n EZ
Its nice to have that Neve Pre sound at your ready without burning through all your DSP. click and go.

Awesome!
This Plugin finds a place in each and every track I record. From the sublime to a more pronounced setting. Thanks UA, Another great job.

Same Great Sound, Less Demand on DSP !
I already own the Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Collection and thought this would be a great low DSP alternative when I'm tracking on all channels of my 8p. This allows me to have 8 Neve Preamps along with compression & or EQ on every channel if needed.

Incredible Little Thing
i Knew it was gonna be good but not this good!! Really love it. on almost everything. Ironically on mix Bus as well!!!

Wow, What a fantastic Pre amp
I have two 1073 pre amps and I love loading the input level to push the pre's to distort the signal. Fab on drums. With the UA Neve Pre amp, I can load the input level, and it sounds identical to my hardware. The tough decision now, is do I sell my pre's and buy more UA plugins, or do I sell them and buy a Satellite to add to my system, so that I can use the Neve Pre's on everything. It's almost a no brainer...really!

Amazingly Generic
I feel this plugin should come with the hardware. It’s such a clean preamp and is so versatile.

Waited a while for something like this!
I bought it without testing it but I figured it should be good especially since i really like the newer offerings as per the new SSl buss compressor.
I really like this plugin because it is simple and adds something I like.
I have had it for two days and have only used it in a dub of a new song and it is great!
I hope UA releases other stripped down pre's that I can use on channels without chewing up massive amounts of limited dsp.
Thank You and great Job on this one:)))
