UAD Signature Edition Version 2

Awesome sound. Not so awesome power requirements

Using this in my 2016 MacBook Pro...yes it's a little outdated, but I should be able to use the plugin on at least 2 tracks at the same time without maxing out my CPU. UAD, this is an amazing plugin, but I feel like it's almost reserved for the users with high end computers. Please fix this in some way to make it easier on the CPU so we can use it reasonably!

Does it pass the blindfold test against the hardware? Oh yes....

I used to regularly hire the actual hardware Massive Passive to finish my mixes back in early to mid 2000's ..... I know the original unit well. This emulation is ridiculously good and an accurate rendition of the original.... I called the original hardware the "silk machine" . This plug-in allows you to impart the same subtle luxurious definition in the low frequencies without overwhelming the mix, and a trademark gossamer sheen - "air" - around the top end. The "silk" metaphor especially applies to the magic this EQ imparts to vocals. Purchase with high expectations and you wont be disappointed.

Another UPLIFT, MOJO enhancer

I already owned one of the other tape plug-ins, but this one has more options, especially in changing the tape types. It takes up the same amount of processing power, so no advantage there, but still. You don't need all the tape plug-ins, you can go with this one if you want a few more options, but the other, slightly cheaper one, could also work.

Whether I put it on some instruments/tracks, or on the master track, it does what it's supposed to, which is give me more options to fuse the sound of the whole thing and uplift the tune and its mojo just that bit more...

Roomy

I am a big fan of room sounds. Sold my Apollo Sound Cards few months ago. The Ocean Way Studio Plugin was my favorite and i still miss it. Until today! The Sound City is not the same like Ocean Way, but i love it. Very versatile and sounds awesome. Thank to the Spark Subscription i can use this plugin and with my Audient Interface. Well done Universal Audio

Fantastic EQ.

Having different flavors of EQ is really important to me. This being my first experience with API, I was trilled with the unique sound of this emulation. And the fact that it's native means that I can actually use it. Highly recommend.

An amazing recreation of an amazing compressor

UAD did it again! They absolutely nailed it out of the park when they modeled this plugin. There's a reason this compressor can be found in most major studios and now UAD has made it so that you can have it at an affordable price in your personal studio.

Definitive 5 stars

I don’t see how it’s possible to give this plugin anything less than 5 stars. Never before have I gotten results like this from a reverb plugin. The possibilities are endless with one room and a chamber.

Didn't think I needed another Mastering Compressor until I tried Capitol Mastering Compressor

Sorprendente

En una palabra , increíble

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.

Just Amazing!

one of the most natural sounding reverb plugins I have used

Native only… seriously?

Great plug-in, but runs native only and needs a huge amount of computing power. Using it even in a small project, I had to freeze all my midi tracks to be able to run a second entity! Considering that I am using the latest IBM iMac with the highest set up possible and with optimised audio performance (ASIO-guard), that’s ridiculous. But what annoys me most is, that I can’t even use my expensive powerful 22-kernel UAD HW! If I would have noticed that before buying, I certainly wouldn’t have bought it.

Interesting understanding of customer orientation

UAD waits until you have bought a plugin for full price and sends you exactly one day later a loyality price offer for same plugin. I like their sense of humour :-D
