Add the iconic tone of two compressors The Universal Audio Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection brings you the iconic tone of two legendary compressors – the Fairchild 670 and its little brother the Fairchild 660. These compressors have defined some of the most revered sounds in popular music. The Fairchild 660 is renowned for its aggressive punch perfect for enhancing piano bass and guitar tracks. On the other hand the flagship Fairchild 670 is a full stereo compressor that injects vibe and color onto channels final mixes and even masters. With these two compressors in your arsenal youll have the tools to achieve professional studio-quality sound. The ultimate companion to the LA-2A and 1176 Plug-In Collections When combined with the Electro-Optical (LA-2A) and FET-based (1176) compressor plug-ins the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection completes the compression “Triple Crown.” Whether you need aggressive power on piano bass or guitar the Fairchild 660 has got you covered. It is a stereo/mono version of the original mono compressor. Meanwhile the flagship Fairchild 670 with its full stereo capabilities can inject vibe and color into individual tracks or add that final touch to your mixes. These compressors work seamlessly with the LA-2A and 1176 plug-ins providing you with a complete and versatile compression solution. The closest you can get to vintage Fairchild in a plug?in Universal Audios Fairchild 670 Legacy plug-in set a new standard for Fairchild emulations when it was released in 2004. Now with the UAD Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection UAs team of DSP experts have gone even further. They have improved the original Time Constants and gain reduction curves and for the first time ever modeled the complete tube-powered amplifier and transformer sections of the hardware units. The result is the most accurate Fairchild emulation available. Only the UAD Fairchild Collection is based on the circuit models of Ocean Way Studios “golden-reference” units giving you the closest you can get to the vintage Fairchilds in a plug-in. Blend sounds with the Wet/Dry Mix control With the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection you have the power to blend your unprocessed signal with the compressed signal using the Mix control. This feature unlocks a world of textural possibilities allowing you to add subtle or drastic compression effects to everything from a drum bus to a mix bus. Whether you want to retain the dynamics of the original sound or bring out the full impact of the compression the wet/dry mix control gives you complete control over the balance of the two signals. Enhance drums with sidechain filters When it comes to drums the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection has got you covered. The built-in sidechain filters allow you to punch up your drum bus without triggering the threshold of the compressor with the kick drum. This means you can achieve maximum impact and clarity while maintaining control over the compression. With Fairchilds sidechain filters you can confidently shape the dynamics of your drum mix without compromising its natural sound. Add grit with the Headroom Control If youre looking to add some grit and character to your sound the Headroom (HR) control is your go-to feature. By increasing the headroom you can make mastering applications a breeze. This raises the gain reduction threshold and lowers distortion allowing you to achieve a cleaner and more polished sound. On the other hand if you want a grittier texture that works well on vocals drums guitar or bass simply decrease the headroom. This lowers the gain reduction threshold and raises distortion giving you a more aggressive and edgy sound. The headroom control gives you the flexibility to shape your sound to fit your creative vision. Fairchild Plug-In Family The Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection is an impressive suite of plug-ins that includes two native UAD plug-ins: Fairchild 660 and Fairchild 670 as well as three UAD-2 plug-ins: Fairchild 660 Fairchild 670 and Fairchild 670 Legacy. Each plug-in has been meticulously modeled from their respective original hardware units providing a faithful and accurate representation of their unique sonic characteristics. The Fairchild 660 this single-channel (monophonic) processor plug-in was independently modelled from the original 660 hardware separate from the Fairchild 670 plug-in modeling. Its ideal for mono sources or when less control is needed thanks to its simpler interface. The controls of the Fairchild 660 are identical to one channel of the Fairchild 670. On the other hand the Fairchild 670 is a two-channel (stereo) workhorse plug-in thats highly regarded by engineers and producers worldwide. Its versatility and accuracy make it a staple in many professional audio workflows. Furthermore the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection benefits from second-generation algorithms that harness the latest advances in DSP modeling and processing power. This combined with the design sophistication and expertise gained since the original Fairchild Legacy plug-in was developed results in a superior suite of plug-ins. Just like their hardware counterparts the UAD models in the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection exhibit variations in threshold behaviors total gain input attenuation range distortion amount distortion structure program dependence time constant subtleties and more. These differences enrich the Fairchild sound offering an expanded palette for audio professionals.
