not my go-to, but still handy to have in the toolbox
i use this plug on more subtle instruments & voc. i would reach for the LA-2 or the 1176 most of the time, before i use the Fairchild, but still has it's place.

Fairchild Collection: So far so good!!!
This comp sounds great, but I admit it's not one of those units you master in a day. Need to really spend some time with time constants. That switch makes a huge difference in what the comp is doing.

One of my Favorite plugs.
If you loved the old version then, you know this one has to live up to some high sonic objectives.
Was very pleased to feast my ears to this plugin!

The Fairchild compressor just simply improves the sonic characteristics of just about anything that passes thru it. Enough said.

UAD Fairchild 2.0.... Really LOVE it!
This is the version I have been waiting for. So easy to use; so easy to get that sound

Good tool !
good tool to have, at a good price instead of paying 50k for the hardware. Pair it with the 1176 and LA2A and your on your way.

Great sound in the box
I own a couple Fairchild emulations and this is the richest sounding of the lot. It's a great plugin!!

Character
Wow this plugin just adds so much character and warmth to my mixes. I have never experienced a real Fairchild so I cannot confirm the realism but trust me it sounds fantastic. Regardless of whether it is realistic or not it is a great sounding compressor.

DRUMS, DRUMS, DRUMS, USE ON THE DRUMS!
This is the perfect compressor for the kick and snare or even drum bus. It adds warmth, punch and sweetness!

Unique
Both of softness and acoustic pressure are possessed at the same time.

Vibe & character.
The Fairchild adds that special character to your mix - especially when used on drums or mix busses. It's almost enough to just enable the compressor, you can instantly hear a change. Definitely a compressor that adds a lotta vibe into your mixes.

One of UA's Best
UA continues to hit home runs, I recently got the AMPEX and thought I'd heard it all until I spent some time with their new reworking of the Fairchild.
I would buy this compressor if ONLY for drums, but it works on almost anything really well. The "mix" knob sure makes life easy not having to set up a parallel compression buss, and the overall sound is wonderful....from subtle to extreme things sound richer and warmer and in the case of drums, wonderfully punchy.
Best Fairchild emulation I've heard, period. Next best thing to the real thing, which I used on Abbey Road in the Sixties.

The Best Fairchild emulation ever.
I have personally compared the competitor's plugins to the UAD before purchase and I was fascinated by the way it sounds.
I loved it on drum buses, mix buses, and 660s on any mono tracks. The parallel compression mix knob is a big thumbs up, since it is used everywhere in today's productions, it just makes my life easier.

Great plug!
A very competent unit that excel on a multitude of various tasks. I tend to use it (670) on guitar bus and sometimes master bus, but 660 is great on snare, bass etc as well. 670 on Acoustic guitar is a killer, will add character to any vocal (play around with the headroom!) and is almost as good on strings and orchestral as it's hardware dad. I've worked with the hardware in various studios, and although I can't honestly say it's equally comparable, these plugs are certainly up there and will require quite a bit of ear and knowledge to dismiss as simply emulations. Should belong in your go-to setup.
