Universal Audio UAD Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection Plug-in Software

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Dial in some not-so-transparent compression! This plug-in recreates the vintage Fairchild 670 and 660, with all their aggressive punch and rich tube color.

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

Native and Apollo Realtime/UAD‑2 Versions Included -- No UA Hardware Required

UAD Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection runs natively on your macOS or Windows computer, or accelerated on systems with an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card.

Add the Iconic Tone of Two Compressors

The Fairchild 670 and companion, the Fairchild 660, have defined some of popular music's most revered sounds. Renowned for its aggressiveness, the 660 punches up piano, bass, and guitar, tracks, while the flagship 670 is a full stereo compressor that injects vibe and color onto channels, final mixes, and even masters.

The Closest You Can Get to Vintage Fairchilds in a Plug-In

Far beyond other Fairchild emulations, only the UAD Fairchild Collection is based on accurate circuit models of "golden-reference" units from legendary Ocean Way Studios, giving you all the rich tube tone of the unattainable iconic hardware.

Blend Sounds with the Wet/Dry Mix Control

The Mix control lets you blend your unprocessed signal with the compressed signal, opening worlds of textural possibilities on everything from a drum bus to a mix bus. read more

Enhance Drums with Sidechain Filters

Punch up your drum bus without triggering the threshold of the compressor with the kick drum, for drums with max impact using the Fairchild's Sidechain Filters.

Add Grit with the Headroom Control

The Headroom (HR) control can be increased to make mastering applications a breeze, raising the gain reduction threshold and lowering distortion. Conversely, you can decrease headroom, lowering the gain reduction threshold and raising distortion for grittier textures that work on everything from vocals and drums to guitar and bass.
