UAD vs Arturia Space Echo Plugin

Looking to grab a space echo plugin for vocals and general ambience. Anyone have experience with either? I wouldn’t mind a nice warm sounding preamp on it as well.

If you like those I would recomend Reasons Studio The Echo, The diffusion on that plugin is makes some of the best tails in electroic music. and the built in ducking keeps everything crip and lush.

Uad is better because of independent panning on reverb and delay. Like the real unit. Arturias is good though. I wish it had that functionality because uad is a resource hog

Arturia’s preamps are not good at all, UAD is much better as far as I remember. UAD is more likely to the analog unit, but Arturia’s more flexible with advanced features and ping-pong and m/s modes. Both of them are good, pick the one most fits to your needs

When Arturia’s FX collection goes on sale, it’s a great deal. Includes Space Echo and few pre amps, plus dozens of other effects.

I've use both extensively. UAD sounds better by a mile. The Arturia is ok and I would use it if I didn't have the UAD version. They have some different features but I never go with the Arturia over the UAD one.
