SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
THIS CHANNEL STRIP HAS BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!! SO EASY TO USE AND I ACTUALLY WENT FROM USING THE AVALON CHANNEL STRIP TO THE CENTURY TUBE. SIMPLE YET POWERFUL!!!!

Awesome
For me this is a no-brainer! Simple controls and adds a nice tube flavour to your signal. Great strip.

Sounds like a real Tube EQ
I have an EQ plugin from another manufacturer which uses convolution to get a realistic Tube EQ. For all intents and purposes, this Convolution EQ sounds amazing, but acts in a very flakey and laggy way in Pro Tools. So I looked high and low for something that sounds the same but is reliable. I worked my way through quite a few "Character" UAD plugins until I found Century. With minimal tweaking it sounds exactly like the EQ I wanted to replace without the lag and stuttering in P-T. A truly excellent job by the folks at UAD, very impressed, and a very useful "Character EQ" which adds a little color to a track when needed.

Nice add to my plug in list.
I use this to recorded all my Guitars, Bass, Keys and Drums. On windows, using Cubase Pro,
and Presonus 2626.
Works like a dream

My debut at Universal Audio
I won't spend a lot of time writing about it here, because I feel that every minute without experiencing something in it is a wasted minute!

This One Takes the Cake!
I hardly ever write product reviews. That said, here is where I make an exception.
The versatility, ease of use, beautiful tube timbre and compression characteristics all come together in a way that makes the audio signal you pass through it really pop!
For any electronic music producers out there... pass your kick and bass/sub (together) through the century tube, after you're finished processing the individual channels. Careful with gain staging, don't come in too hot. Apply very subtle 10k boost, remove small amount of boxiness/muddiness (if necessary) between 250-600 Hz, add some 110 Hz niceness, and apply 1-3 (max!) gain reduction on the compressor. This will usually squeeze another 5% out of the kick/bass/sub combo, tightening up the low end very nicely, glueing both elements, and at the same time making them really pop!

Great surprise
When I buy I don’t exactly what situation I can use this toy but in fact I use more and more and on voice bus and everything in fact … just a touch of analog .. so sweat

This is my go-to Unison Preamp
The sounds I get from the Century Tube Channel Strip are stunning. For vocals and acoustic guitar, it adds tone and character to the track. I use it on almost everything, except bass, since I use the Avalon 737 for that. Otherwise, it's my go-to Unison preamp.

Sooooo easy!
When you’re not sure what to use for an input chain, this wins the day everytime. Anywhere from super clean to colourful saturation and “just right” compression for knocking a bit off the top on the way in.

Fantastic.
Really nice to have this channel strip.

New Fave Saturator
I don't know if I'm using this "right" or not (what's "right" anyway?), but I really enjoy the way this channel strip saturates. Some tone shaping EQ and some compression to smooth everything out, built in, and I'm super happy with it. :) It will make it's way into more and more sessions as an input saturator and a mix saturator...

Nice strip!
Got this as a free plugin for referring someone to UA. Chose this for its versatility. All sections are good, but honestly, I never use it. That’s the only reason I didn’t give it full stars. UA plugins can be pricey, but I’d say you shouldn’t pay more than $50 for this.

Fast and furious
easy and fast to set up it is very helpful when time is an issue or when recording yourself and inspiration shows up. For certain keyboard sounds I even prefer to Neve or others.
p. salziger
in the top 5
it's a must-have for beginners, those who are not comfortable with compression, 1 output setting and compression dosage, it's hard to get simpler, after that it's the ears that guide...
But it also has grandiose credentials and it made the sound of legends!
If I had to choose just one plug, it would be this one.
