What it is
The Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection is a Universal Audio plug-in bundle containing two precisely modeled emulations of the legendary Fairchild 660 and 670 tube limiters. These hardware units are famous for the silky warm compression heard on recordings by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and countless Motown classics. The collection models the entire electronic signal path - tube amplifier stages included - to recreate that distinct analog glow that optical and FET compressors simply cannot replicate.
Who it's for
Mixing engineers and producers chasing vintage tube compression character for vocals, drums, bass, piano, and full mixes. If you already work with the LA-2A and 1176 plug-ins, the Fairchild pair completes the classic compression triple crown and fills the warm, musical gap that neither FET nor optical compressors quite cover.
Key features
- Includes both the mono/stereo Fairchild 660 and full stereo 670 emulations in a single bundle
- Models the complete electronic signal path including tube amplifier stages for authentic vintage character
- The 660 delivers more aggressive power suited to piano, bass, and guitar sources
- The 670 is a true stereo compressor built to add vibe and color to individual tracks or apply the final touch to a full mix
