hair splitting stuff. It's like wine tasting, You go out to the vineyards and taste different wines and after about an hour you don't really care. That's why I often just grab "compressor" when I'm searching for a compressor to use. The Steinberg one has a Peak / RMS blend knob that tells the compressor what to react to, which is very cool. Anyway, in the end, this stuff is all just fun. It comes down to the music and the person using the tools. And software companies do not want you to believe that. They will do their level best to convince you otherwise. And you almost convinced me here too. Damn you Matty.🙂

Great video! It really opened my eyes, I've owned the UAD Quad-2 for around 12 years now and in those years, I've never had a job where I've not used it somewhere. When I bought it they really were unbeatable, but some of these newer plugins are really good ,and in a lot of cases, considerably cheaper as well. One gripe I had though was that the comparisons could have been more accurate, a few of them didn't sound level matched (particularly the API and Manley compressors) and I also noticed that the outputs were clipping on your DAW. I know I'm nitpicking!

I agree with you on almost all of them. I would even say that the Pulsar Manley plug-ins are superior to UAD. The only ones I don't agree about is the 1176 and 160. Softube FET Comp is my favorite 1176 plug-in, and DMG Audio TrackComp 2 has the hands-down best DBX 160 emulation. I would recommend most people to just buy TrackComp 2 if they are looking for detailed emulations of most classical comps. Every model in that plug-in is so good and precise that they could replace every UAD alternative in this list. Most people don't give it much thought just because it doesn't have a flashy GUI, but if you actually listen to how it sounds, you will understand why it is so praised by many. DMG Compassion, TrackComps 2 bigger brother, can also emulate all of these comps, but it's a bit more work to set it up. U-he Presswerk and Klanghelm DC8C3 are also compressor powerhouses that could emulate all kinds of comps, if you have the patience and knowledge to dial them in correctly.

I have so many plugins it´s hard to remember what I have. I don´t think I need to buy any more plugins, I have most of the Waves, over 30 by Plugin Alliance, and I recently bought the whole Arturia collection on sale for 129€, an amazing deal for ALL that you get. But, thanks for this review, and reminding me of ALL the plugins I forgot I have. I also have the Analog SSL Fusion, and Tegeler Creme. The Tegeler Creme is a combo of Pultec EQ, and an SSL Compressor. So, I have way more than enough. :)

Not a popular opinion, but I still think the UA plugins have a slight edge, and if they put them all into the Spark package I'll likely sign up.

Ik multimedia precision bus compressor I think has a better emulation of the 33009

Probably your right too. It’s a personal thing always. Buy you should try Ik multimedia emulations: heavy on dsp side but with ton of mojo. Specially their tape emulations, so good.

the only ones that actually kept up with the uad were the pultec emulation and the neve diode comp. uad beat every other one by a long shot. if you ever want to hear how much better uad's plugs are than other companies compare their galaxy space echo to any of the competition.

plugin alliance is so much less expensive. never buy UAD if its available at PA. same exact code. right now cubase and nuendo require plug-ins to be both Apple Silicon compliant and VST 3 to run in Apple Silicon mode. The spark stuff works but none of the UAD2. I have over 80 UAD plug-ins that I can't use in Apple Silicon mode. i've been using UAD plug-ins for about 18 years or so and compared to plug in alliance they're just not looking out for their customers. It would be fun to do a version of this for time based fx. i'm actually more addicted to UAD reverbs/delays then i am compressor/EQs, but there are a lot of great options out there.

UAD is not the benchmark, I hate this argument, and I do have most of the UAD stuff.

And one of the best things about the alternatives is: THE GUI-SIZE !!! UAD should really get their ass up and do what's long overdue and rework all their guis. I don't get the problem. All users want it. UAD simply denies it for years...

For me, UAD isn't as impressive as it could be. I have the same plug-in options as you. UAD has Collor that EQs the low frequencies, making them appear thicker or warmer. I have now canceled UAD Spark after trying it for 3 months.

Every single one of the Non-UAD plugins looks better, is a fraction of the cost, generally has more features, and sounds the same if not better. UAD is one of those companies like Avid that seems constantly behind the capabilities of the competition but still tries to act superior
