    I own the Universal Audio Signature 2 Bundle in addition to a bunch of UAD plugins I’ve bought over the years (okay, I only purchased my first Universal Audio plugin in 2022, when their prices came down dramatically). While I have loved nearly every Universal Audio plugin I’ve ever used, I have only used a fraction of the UAD plugins I own because, well, I own more plugins than I need, and some are, frankly, too much work to learn, so I stick with what I know (the bundle gave me a ridiculous amount of great plugins). I’ve never installed more than half of the plugins I own, including any of the guitar amp sims (I already own Amplitube, Guitar Rig, and others), Electra 88 (I have Famous E and other Rhodes I love, but will probably try the Electra 88 at some point) or their B3 (I love the IK B-3X so much that I don’t see the point). I own the Revel Piano and installed the demo, but found the IK Pianoverse superior, so I didn’t install it in order to save drive space. But depending on what piano plugins and libraries you own, that may be a great choice for you.

    Here are my favorite Universal plugins on the above list — I’d be interested in hearing others favorites (I also want to be clear that I know a good deal about sample libraries, but I really don’t know much about mixing and mastering, so I am certainly not claiming to be a mixing and masting expert — I’m a novice, I just found these effects plugins sound great to my ears):
