UAD Studio Edition

PolyMax Synth

Vt 737

There is nothing to say about Avalon and the 737, one of the best all in one pre, comp, eq ever existed in the world

Studer A800 Tape Recorder

I would love to review this item, but as with other UAD plugins I have, "the GUI fails to load"

RM

Perfect compressor!

Espectacular

me encanta todo lo que pasa por ahí simplemente se vuelve genial, lo uso mucho en voces

Improvements

Since using these plugins have seen great results in my mixing

Opal Morphing Synthesizer — Rich noise generators

UA nailed this synth. I was shocked by the oscillators and how good the filters were. The wave tables are top notch and the modulation, mod matrix, and visual cues provide excellent workflow while designing patches. For this price you get something that sounds like a dedicated hardware unit! Rich and powerful tones plus good depth of configuration. You can even get musicality from the resonance filter and fold square waves. I love it. Perfect for EDM and sound design. The effects are remarkable and of quality— very well designed.

Great reverb

Perfect on a bus and gently send half of all tracks in to! Warm and dark like I like them!

Outstanding

Put this wide on all my tracks with just a hint of saturation. Magic!

realism,

First of all, the greatest advantage of this RAVEL piano is its quick response. I'm not talking about your DAW's buffer size or other latency settings. The software itself reacts super quick. * i.e. It reads out the samples very fast. That's why you feel so good playing on it and it sounds so natural; It's almost like playing a real Steinway. Steinway is known being particularly “direct” and “quick” among many pianos.

In parallel, the quality of the recording / sampling is also worth mentioning. It captures the subtle nuances of the hammering attack, the presence of the ultra-low (no longer “sound”, but rather kinetic energy) that only pianists can feel. And you even have the resonances of the “bell” resonator, unique to the Steinway piano.

However, alas, to be honest, I have some frustrations, too ;
1 - algorithmically added / controlled resonances, such of strings, casting frame or resonance board are too much and there is no parameters to decrease the level….. (no, no. It’s not “room echo” you’re talking about, mate !!)
Those too remaining resonances are disturbing when you need subtil half pedal expressions, in particular.
Of course such sounding piano does exists. But if me, I might say “well, the damper is tired. We need to call a piano tuner (!)….”

2 - strange dull rumbling and persisting noises added intentionally as long as the damper pedal is engaged. It is obvious this was added for more “realistic” pedal resonance but too much and “too long”. And still no control for its duration or for it’s level………

In spite of such not-so-appreciable points, and though I am quite sure that our Universal Audio’s perfectionist pals will give us great news soon, I stay one of happy users of this remarkable software piano, yes, quite surely.

Beautiful chorus

Really nice on clean guitars

Great compressor

Perfect to add in the recording chain for vocals, guitar, bass etc.

a very good compressor

I recently bought a Volt1 and also the 1176 bundle. I chose this instead of the Volt176 to give myself more control over the compression on the track with the 1176 in the 'FX in' slot. It's working very well for me. The 1176 is also useful in many other spots in my mixes.

Electra 88 Vintage Keyboard Studio

Sounds Great . Great patches as always . Warm sound.

Plate

very good plate

Fantastic Plugin

The 1176 collection has been great . Being able to use these compressors in my DAW is what I've always wanted and they sound like the original gear. Thanks to audio.

A gem for enthusiasts of authentic analog sound !

The Helios Type 69 plug-in is simply extraordinary! Its faithful emulation of the original hardware provides an outstanding sonic richness, perfect for shaping sources with a vintage attitude.

Sounds brilliant

Wanted a simple, beautiful sounding piano in the box with minimal interface and this is it...

Hard Body

Best emulation of the original yet

So Versatile !!

Versatile and Really Nice for Drum for huge sound!!
