Fairchild legacy vs uad3/13/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() ago To me, the Fairchild 670 & 660 are some of the most faithful and easy to use vari-mu style compressors available. UA NAMM 2016 was ho hum, I thing UA NAMM 2017 is shaping up to be very interesting. I own both and think that the UAD legacy pack-ins are superior to the Waves versions (1176, Pultec, LA2A, etc.), and the updated versions are even better. I'd advise everyone to keep your powder dry, upgrading now makes sense as the mkiis are all an improvements and they have just given you a $50 coupon, but UA is always trying to add more value, not take it away, but transitioning ain't always pretty: lets give UA the benefit of a doubt, at least, I will ! We, also know NAMM is a couple of weeks away and it seems very likely UA will introduce new gear and it may have some new deals and some new plugs or something. So, we know they have twice over the last year let everybody have the lower bundle prices so you could buy 3 of the 4 for $399 some time next year probably or $133 each, lower than the current upgrade price. I understand the concerns/issues: change of approach, price hikes, very bad timing and agree but with UA be philosophically contrarian and think what aren't they saying and/or not saying, cus they never do. Funny, no email here but I have them all. ![]()
