UAD Producer Edition

Great Plugin BUT...

Native only?! Seriously?! First they release the Capitol Mastering Compressor, which is an AWESOME plugin btw but, when asked why no DSP version came out, they told us is because most people would be using it for mastering applications and blah blah blah....I wonder what they will say about this one now? C'mon guys show us some UAD love, please! Being able to load it up in Console etc. is the ONE thing that sets you apart, don't let it die out so easily!

Toller Sound, schreckliche Usability

Eigentlich ist das Plugin toll. Aber die UA Connect App ist echt schlecht. Man braucht immer Internet, wenn es kurz weg ist, geht das Plugin nicht mehr. Schön, wenn man exportiert und dann merkt, dass im Export auf einmal was fehlt. Eine Wiederverbindung der UA App funktioniert nicht, man muss den ganzen Rechner neu starten.
Und das passiert hier also mehrfach pro Sitzung, da ich das Internet übers Handy erhalte und auch mal weggehe vom Rechner, der daraufhin die Verbindung verliert.
Wäre alles kein Problem, wenn die App sich wenigstens wiederverbinden würde. Auch per Task-Manager beenden geht nicht. Der Rechner muss neu gestartet werden.

Another classic

A super versatile compressor, very colorful and works on everything! A must.

A classic

Super compressor, on almost any source material. Subtle and very nice after an 1176 on vocals.

Best 1176 plugin on the market!

These emulations are incredibly good and versatile! My most used compressors by far!

The smile maker

Set the Pultec to a smiley face curve and it will put a smile on your face. Takes a minute to understand, but once you get it, you’ll reach for it often.

Omg

Ear Candy!

Warm, organic sound! Feels like you’re playing on the hardware and not the midi keyboard. It’s inspiring and really addictive:)

I'm no keyboard player by any stretch but I have used many B3 emulators and this is by far the most realistic. It's very simple to use especially with the number of presets available. Easy to find the right sound and easy to play. I wouldn't even begin to compare this to the real thing in functionality but sound wise, I can't tell a difference between a real B3 and the plug-in.

Really good plate sound!!!

THE plate sound. I would love to see this guy with a little bit more control.

Good, but could be great

Right off the bat, you can only record on this using the opened back of the Leslie. This is fine for rock, I guess. But Don Leslie invented this cabinet to be heard from the front, through the louvres that he intentionally carved into the wood. Not offering this very BASIC option is tantamount to malpractice. Recording through the open back gives you a very phasey, thwocky, open-wood-hole sound that is not what you want for jazz, gospel and blues- which -guess what?- the Hammond organ tends to do a lot of. It almost seems like no real Hammond Organ players were consulted on this plugin at all, but "rockers" who want to run their guitars through a swirly effect got tons of say.

Gain staging can be a nightmare too. It seems to be best when you give it a very faint signal input. The output meter is utterly useless. It indicates nothing. At all. Ignore it.

All that said, it does sound remarkably like my real, vintage 122 when I remove the back panels, and that's exactly why i don't remove the back panels. Ever.

This could easily be a 5 star plugin if UA simply gave you the basic option of hearing the speaker the way it's inventor intended for it to be heard. (And don't give me any flack about being able to record through the louvres on the sides...that is NOT the same thing.) This is like meticulously emulating every aspect of a Fender Bassman amp, but only letting you mic it from above. It is a needless, staggering, unforced error.

I'm not withholding stars due to the fact that it's only native, since they tell you that upfront. But for Pete's sake, the Leslie is an incredibly important part of the hammond sound that shapes and changes your performance as an organ player. You are constantly relying on the sound of your leslie when performing. Pushing it harder or backing off based on how the Leslie responds. Since I cannot use this plugin in a unison slot, I am forced to GUESS how much to gain it as I perform, then apply the Leslie after the fact to see whether I GUESSED correctly. Far from ideal.

This is a decent plugin that could so, so ,so easily be an -invaluable- plugin. I hope UA listens.

I've tried all the Minimoog Plug-Ins

And this one sounds the best

MiniMoog

Using three digital MiniMoog VST`s since years . This one gets nearest to original analog.

total rave synth

super sounding rave synth, dark sounds , powerfull morphing bass noises

Great plugins

I love these plugins, they are so easy to use and have a clear sound. But... the ilok license is the worst thing on planet earth, I hate it

Very classic

I love the depth and dimensionality that its chorus effect produces.

Very analogous and very classic.

The best for my job.

I’m in love with the silver one, really smooth out all the vocals and feels more presents, it’s really my favorite.

es muy bueno ....!!

hola .. me encantan sus productos son los mejores del mercado .
vivo en argentina y mi moneda esta muy devaluada ojala en algún momento ,universal audio pueda darle acceso a sus productos a personas de paises latinos que no están a la altura económica de otras partes del mundo, a si todo podríamos obtener desde hardware y plugin desde ya un saludo cordial para todos bendiciones..

Five Star Worthy

I've owned many effects over the years, both plug-in and hardware pieces. Waterfall is easily one of the most lush, ear pleasing, of them all. You'll find it's surprisingly useful on guitars, keyboards, and more. Try it sparingly to add uniqueness to your modern recordings, or apply it more heavily to teleport your sound back to the 1960s.

Triple awesome sonic deliciousness

I own almost every decent software synth out there and Opal is as legit as can be. Luscious complex sounds that are captivating. Just scratching the surface of all this synth can do.
