Which Apollo products are available as Heritage Editions? These are the same UAD plug-ins that built UA's reputation for analog modeling over the past decade - making Apollo Heritage Editions the perfect choice for those looking to get the most accurate library of classic analog emulations anywhere, right out of the box. Like I mentioned, they all sound different.Universal Audio’s new Apollo Heritage Editions deliver a premium software suite of 5 or 10 award-winning UAD plug-in titles - including the full Collections from Teletronix ®, Fairchild ®, Pultec ®, Helios ®, and UA - conveniently packaged at significant savings. And I recommend everybody to try the Acoustica Audio and IK Multimedia Fairchild compressors, too.

So, if you are shopping for a Fairchild plugin, and UAD sells one for 49 dollars - buy it! And it sounds good and works just fine, although it always seems to bring out the sibilance in vocals. I've been using UAD Fairchild as a mix buss compressor, with bass and guitars and, of course, with male and female vocals. The Acoustica Audio is the most HIFI -sounding. IK multimedia sounds closest to UAD, both are fat and darkish, UAD maybe little better to my ears. The Waves is a piece of shit, bright and harsh, and haven't used it for years. I own Waves PuigChild, IK multimedia Fairchild and Acoustica Audio Fairchild. I am glad I didn't.Īfter few weeks with the UAD Fairchild compressor, I can safely say that it is quite a good plugin, worth the 49 dollars I bought it for.

Few times, I was very close buying Apollo interface just to get to use the plugins. These plugins seemed to have a special aura of authenticity, and generally got great reviews. For years I craved for UAD plugins, mainly because all the pro guys were using UAD.
