Just wanted to share with everyone a new discovery. I just updated my home studio with a new computer early this year. At the January NAMM show, I met the folks at Universal Audio ( www.uaudio.com), who specialize in vintage compressors, eq's, reverbs. I record primarily acoustic music so this was exactly what I was looking for. I bought their hardware and software for my mac and recorded a few CDs with them. I am completely in awe of their sound quality, stability, and ease of use. These plug-ins are the best I've ever heard, and ended up purchasing almost everything they have: Neve eq's, compressors, LA2A compressor, 1176 compressor, Fairchild compressor, Plate 140, Precision eq, limiter and multiband compressor, etc. It is truly amazing what you can do at home these days for a reasonable amount of money! aloha, Daniel

I'm with you... I was a strict out-of-the-box guy for a long time, but the UA plugs are phenomenal. The only stuff of theirs I haven't bought is the Neve line and the Helios EQ. But their 1176, LA-2A and especially Plate 140 are excellent. I still prefer the hardware versions, but if I need half a dozen 1176s for a bunch of vocal tracks...

the fairchild compressor is my favorite of all the compressors. la2a is really smooth for vocals though.

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
