UA plugin are all about colour and character they are very simple to use as well , the VCA VU has so much character not sure what id do without it now love it for pickaxe style kicks you know the ones that sound like somebodys knocking on your front window with a pound coin .
when pushed hard the 1176LN compressor adds a distortion character i just can't get from a distortion plugin.
The fairchild compressor is my go to compressor for bass just adds such a thick smooth gloss simple to use too i just choose the "thick bass" preset and tweek from there (EQ out the mud of course) , i also like to send all my Orchestral sounds to a buss and add the fairchild again just choose the "Orchestral" preset tweek from there and hear the Mojo.
The 'Moog Multimode Filter' is f-ing amazing just drive this thing hard if you had your eyes closed you'd think you were listening to a real moog filter.
My master channel is Precision Limiter & 4k comp as standard , theres a preset called "smooth" on the 4k total magic on the drum buss for dance music and another one called "Trance master" superb on the master channel.
Im loving the Cooper Time Cube MkII at the moment perfect for getting my little vocal snippets to sit nicely in the mix.
and as for the Neve stuff .... were do i start...........
Roll on EMT 250 , Empirical labs Fatso and Manley Massive Passive ...UA are on a roll and all the other rival manufacturers know it
