UAD-2: The industrys most respected collection of audio plug-ins
From serious home recordists to multi-platinum mix engineers, UAD Powered Plug-Ins have been winning over audio professionals for more than 10 years. The reason is simple. UAD plug-ins faithfully capture the sound and behavior of classic analog equipment ” from rare compressors and equalizers, to vintage reverb processors and tape machines.
The award-winning UAD library features nearly 60 plug-ins, co-developed with the biggest brands in audio. These plug-ins can be purchased with UAD-2 hardware from retailers as part of bundled œCustom and œUltimate packages, or you can buy UAD plug-ins la carte from UAs Online Store.
Workhorse processing power, wherever you go
UAD-2 Satellite DSP Accelerators are available in two processing levels: DUO or QUAD, with either two or four individual Analog Devices SHARC processors, respectively. This outboard processing can provide a big mixing horsepower œboost for your MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac mini ” letting you run larger mixes, filled with rich, sonically complex plug-ins ” no matter what the rest of your system is doing.
The UAD-2 Satellite can be integrated alongside UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator cards and the UAD Apollo interface, for truly scalable mixing power. And because its portable, the UAD-2 Satellite lets you travel with your UAD plug-ins, wherever you mix on an Intel-based Mac with an available FireWire port.
Available as Core, Custom, and Ultimate software packages
UAD-2 Satellite DSP Accelerators are available as œCore, œCustom, and œUltimate software packages. The Core package includes the Analog Classics plug-in bundle. The Custom package includes Analog Classics bundle, plus it lets you pick any three individual UAD plug-ins at registration. The QUAD Ultimate is UAs flagship Satellite package, and includes more than 55 UA-developed plug-ins up to and including UAD software v6.3.
UAD plug-in craftsmanship
Most people dont immediately think of audio software when they hear the word œcraftsmanship. But thats what separates UAD plug-ins from the rest. One of the most common responses we hear from UAD users is, œWow, I didnt know plug-ins could sound this good. Thats because in developing UAD-2 plug-ins, UAs engineering group undertakes a thorough physical modeling of classic audio hardware. This process means that we essentially œrebuild vintage analog gear in the digital world, component by component. Its how UAD plug-ins replicate the exact, sometimes quirky, behavior of analog hardware ” bringing its rich, three-dimensional sound and harmonics "in the box."
