UAD Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection – Digital Delivery

Fairchild Collection: The Ultimate Tube Glow

• The sound of hit records: Gives you the silky, warm compression heard on hundreds of legendary albums from The Beatles and Pink Floyd to countless Motown classics.

• Iconic analog glow: Instantly infuses vocals, acoustic drums, and your entire master bus with an unmistakable vintage harmonic character.

• Definitive emulation accuracy: The world’s most accurate software simulation of the rarest, most sought-after vintage tube limiters ever made.

• Complete circuit modeling: Meticulously captures the hardware’s complex tube-driven gain control stages and custom transformer sections.

A Dual Powerhouse: Fairchild 660 & 670

• The punchy Fairchild 660: A monophonic variation renowned for its transient aggression, making it perfect for punching up piano, bass, and electric guitar tracks.

• The flagship Fairchild 670: A full stereo mastering-grade compressor built to inject cohesive vibe, deep color, and analog glue onto channels, final mix sub-groups, and master faders.

• Golden-reference modeling: Built exclusively on accurate circuit models of prized “golden-reference” physical hardware units sourced directly from the legendary Ocean Way Studios.

Advanced Controls for Modern Workflow

• Parallel processing blend: Built-in Wet/Dry Mix controls let you seamlessly blend your unprocessed signal with heavily compressed textures without complex parallel routing.

• Targeted sidechain filters: Outfitted with specialized internal Sidechain Filters to prevent low-frequency kick drum energy from over-triggering the compression threshold.

• Maximum drum impact: Allows your drum buses to retain massive, punchy transient impacts while smoothly pinning down ambient room tails.

Dynamic Textures with Headroom Control

• Adjustable operational levels: Features a flexible Headroom (HR) parameter to tailor the compressor’s input reaction to your mastering needs.

• Clean mastering headroom: Increase the headroom control to raise the gain reduction threshold and lower total harmonic distortion for a clean, transparent master sheen.

• Gritty harmonic saturation: Decrease the headroom control to lower the threshold and raise tube distortion, creating gritty, rich analog textures that work beautifully on rock vocals, drums, and bass.
