1176 & Pultec on Kick. Not Pultec pro. It's the only UAD plugin I've 
not bought.

1176 & Cambridge on snare.

Maybe just a bit of EQ on hats. 2 parametric bands is enough - maybe 
Waves renaisence or Logic's own.

Very  little on cymbals - perhaps a bit of compression. Something fast 
and transpearant.

1176 & Cambridge on toms.

Maybe a bit or eq on overheads but only sometimes.

I use Fairchild or LA2A & Cambridge on vocals.

Don't use any of the UAD's modulation or delay FX. I prefer Logic's own.

I love the Precision limiter and use it everywhere I used to use a 
Waves L1 or L2 - mainly drum & bass group, mix bus & for mastering.

I like the UAD reverbs but have not used them a lot. Now I have 2 UAD's 
that may change....
