Native / Apollo - Runs either natively on your macOS or Windows computer or on the DSP of your Apollo interface. Works with or without UA hardware.

The Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection delivers the silky, warm compression heard on hundreds of hit records from The Beatles and Pink Floyd to countless Motown classics. Now, you can infuse the same analog "glow" into your vocals, drums, and entire mix with the most accurate plug-in emulations ever made of these one-of-a-kind tube compressors.

Add the Iconic Tone of Two Compressors: The Fairchild 670 and its companion, the Fairchild 660, have profoundly defined some of popular music’s most revered sounds. The 660, renowned for its aggressiveness, is perfect for adding punch to piano, bass, and guitar tracks. Meanwhile, the flagship 670 functions as a full stereo compressor, expertly injecting vintage vibe and rich color onto individual channels, final mixes, and even masters.

The Closest You Can Get to Vintage Fairchilds in a Plug-In: Going far beyond other Fairchild emulations, only the UAD Fairchild Collection is meticulously based on accurate circuit models of "golden-reference" units sourced from the legendary Ocean Way Studios. This dedication to authenticity ensures you get all the rich tube tone of the otherwise unattainable iconic hardware, bringing its unparalleled character directly to your studio.

Blend Sounds with the Wet/Dry Mix Control: The intuitive Mix control allows you to seamlessly blend your unprocessed (dry) signal with the compressed (wet) signal. This opens up a world of textural possibilities, enabling you to add subtle parallel compression or more dramatic effects on everything from a punchy drum bus to your entire mix bus, giving you nuanced control over your dynamics.

Enhance Drums with Sidechain Filters: Achieve maximum impact for your drums by using the Fairchild's Sidechain Filters. This feature allows you to punch up your drum bus without the kick drum inadvertently triggering the compressor's threshold, resulting in a tighter, more impactful drum sound with controlled dynamics.

Add Grit with the Headroom Control: The versatile Headroom (HR) control can be increased to simplify mastering applications, as it raises the gain reduction threshold and concurrently lowers distortion, leading to a cleaner master. Conversely, you can decrease the headroom, which lowers the gain reduction threshold and increases distortion, allowing you to dial in grittier textures that work beautifully on a wide range of sources, including vocals, drums, guitar, and bass, for added character and saturation.

Features:

• Give your tracks and mixes the classic Fairchild tube warmth and distinctive character that have graced countless hit records.
• Add rich harmonics and powerful punch to vocals, drums, and more, leveraging the Fairchild’s tube-driven gain control and authentic transformer sections for unparalleled sonic depth.
