Never used UAD, until I got the Apollo and tried some of their plugins and then I understand what people was talking about. I use them a lot now: - Neve 1073 - Pultec EQP - Ampex tape - 1176 - API channel strip And many more
Same to me, maybe the APi channel is my favorite , prefer the preamp even more than the neve one, but, top 5 it will be sound city , its not only room and chamber, the Dolby A FX section is f.great. h.mention to LA3A, Manley eq is great
I want the Manley Vari-Mu SO BAD! 😳 I would certainly go with that before the 33609, which I was a LITTLE surprised even made the cut in this video, if I’m honest 😬🤷🏼♂️😄
1176 COLLECTION, SSL E channel strip (I like to use on vocals before the 1176 wit fast attack dynamics and dynamic eq to taming dees the signal subtly, before the 1176 etc) TRIDENT EQ (I like it after ssl eq; sometimes ill start off with 1 ssl e channel strip that only does dynamic eq then follow it with another ssl e channel strip just for eq, but then the trident after that s great for the high end I like it!) Elysis ALPHA compressor (I use it on busses) KORG delay (I love this thing on vocals automated delay controls!) Plate . Id like 10 essential picks but it's only 5!
You really can’t go wrong with UAD and I love your top 5 must haves. My top 5 that I have to have are: DBX 160, Avalon 737, Fairchild, Studer A800, Pure Plate Reverb. These are always in my vocal templates.
they really emulated the inductors / capacitators interplay (how this passive EQ actually works) for the Pultec trick really well - no other EQ does it like that.
my five ride-or-dies: 1176 collection Pultec Sound City (I’m a drummer) Capitol chambers Pure Plate. that gets me 3 distinct spaces, a never sound bad eq, and a killer comp. I love the anniversary 1176 in 2:1 mode running the threshold really low so it digs in deep. That plus the modifies slow attack is such a great sound for certain buses
Thanks for posting this vid. I have all of these and I very much agree with you, w some exceptions.. Nice comparisons. Ill have to check out the neve stereo comp
My go to UAD plugins are their keyboard Virtual instrument, Their organ virtual instrument, their Pultec EQ, their MoTown reverb and their Studder A800 tape ( I prefer that over their Ampex 102 tape)
I just use fabfilter c2 for compression or a transient designer or saturn for tape. the differences of the uad tape are too subtile, i don't think you need that. i use the 1073, it has character, i use the pultec and the 1176, la2a, but in the end its all about saturation to add harmonics and about different compression, and i think you don't need tons of channelstrips or compressors just for a veeery subtile change of sound,. its difficult to hear a difference.
Yeah man 5 is tough to limit down. I’m gonna go with the most bang for your buck cause I feel softube or PA is a better option on channels and I got the seventh heaven on sale that covers most verbs UA has besides digital better deal. I got 76 and Ampex also good call. Gonna go with Rock City studios on drums and guitars or even vox I run it on an aux to blend not reverb but the replication sounds fucking amazing. The Softube guitar amp because softube way too cpu heavy. Sick on distortion and presence . And go c Vox 5th.
The 1176 AE is sonicially more similar to the api 2500 style, where it allows the upper midrange to pass through seemingly unobstructed. Its very "Clear"
Matty. Just got the pure plate. . Now if the wet solo is ON ..there is a wash of reverb on my vocals. ... even if ii turn down the decay n reverb time. can't get around this. ? . I then turn ithe wet solo off. And i can work on it. .. What am I doing wrong. ? Thanks.

And many more
Matty really comes across convincing. I trust what he says much more than other channels.
1. Distressor
2. 1176 collection
3. API channel strip
4. Neve 1073
5. ATR 102
Honourable mentions
6. Manley Compressor
7. Pultec EQP
8. Oxide Tape
9. Chandler Curve Bender
10. Oxford Limiter

API 2500 does the trick on drums everytime for any genre
Agree.

The API vsion channel strip specially with unision gives you everything you need for vocals, just add the reverb and you have a great setup.
my five ride-or-dies:
1176 collection
Pultec
Sound City (I’m a drummer)
Capitol chambers
Pure Plate.

Great selection! Soundcity being my favorite reverb from UAD and then capitol.
I have almost all of them, but these are the gems, in my opinion
Ep-34
K stereo
Api 560 eq
Neve 1084
Pultec Pro Legacy
That plate reverb is one of the best I've heard..I use exactly all the same plugins except for the Neve. Also a fellow Studio One user...🤘
Thanks for posting this vid. I have all of these and I very much agree with you, w some exceptions.. Nice comparisons. Ill have to check out the neve stereo comp
My go to UAD plugins are their keyboard Virtual instrument, Their organ virtual instrument, their Pultec EQ, their MoTown reverb and their Studder A800 tape ( I prefer that over their Ampex 102 tape)
What About LA2A ??
It’s a nice to have. Not essential at all
@@echln3209 a LA2A is standard in any studio. Along with an 1176, that's the definition of essential ;)
That neve plugin sounds good, I’ve never used it before
Ampex and Studer pack is 49 coins with UAD weekly voucher! Thats for BOTH!
Thanks for the tip! Such a good deal, I pulled the trigger. I’ve always had my eye on these, but couldn’t decide on 1.
greatt videoo matt 👏🏻
Let's all be honest - just listening while watching those tape reels spin makes everything sound better 😂
2 under the radar they don’t do much but are unique are SPL Vitalizer and VOG bass kicks. Vox
Nice demo. So you put the Pultec eq after compressor?
Do you also add corrective eq before compression? Isn’t that a pretty common method?
My secret weapon is the neve 2254, but I prefer the lindell 80 cause I have it included in a channelstrip.

The Softube guitar amp because softube way too cpu heavy. Sick on distortion and presence . And go c Vox 5th.
Sound City not Rock City haha. Read they’re in the valley.
What about LA2A?
Hey I would love to hear the final mix what’s name of this song ?
Great content !
The 1176 AE is sonicially more similar to the api 2500 style, where it allows the upper midrange to pass through seemingly unobstructed. Its very "Clear"
I really like cvox, Autotune and ams dmx
sound good👍
1176 Collection
LA2A Collection
Pultec Collection
C-Vox
Coin-Flip:
Studer A-800 or Ampex ATR-102
If me, I will only pick the pultec EQ pack, 1176 and 1073.
To me the Arturia Rev Plate 140 sounds eerily similar to the Pure Plate, is it just me?
1176 AE
Distressor
Fatso
DBX 160
AMX R-16 reverb
Distressor!
33609 on BGVs, eh? Neve compressors are weird, no? Like, what do you use the 2254 on?
Cool video but i dont think you had pure plate engaged, didnt here any reverb
what about acustica plugin you have any 5 of them?
I imagine plugins are so much more fun to use on the Kii Threes
They do. Haha.
Matty. Just got the pure plate. .
Now if the wet solo is ON ..there is a wash of reverb on my vocals. ... even if ii turn down the decay n reverb time. can't get around this. ? .
I then turn ithe wet solo off. And i can work on it. ..
What am I doing wrong. ?
Thanks.
Put it on a send
Will VOG ever come to native ???😭
That would be awesome!!!
Yeah, it's called Bark of Dog by Boz!
Never use UA delays. Echo Boy and Fab Filter
Forget UAD, I need Matty Harris AI plugin for all my mixes 🙏
“If I could only pick 5 plugins, first I’d pick this bundle” 😂 that’s cheating !
Distresor
What about Acoustica A?!
