UAD2: what do Universal Audio Say:
“The UAD-2 is set to shake up the audio industry even more radically than UAD-1 did.”
said Mike Barnes, VP of Marketing for Universal Audio. “We listened hard to the
power, feature and plug-in requests from our loyal UAD-1 user base. Then we designed
the new potent UAD-2 DSP platform for DAWs to be ‘the one’ that delivers all the
sound and channel counts of large-format analogue consoles plus all the authentic tone of
classic outboard FX inside the box. You can Track, Mix and Master to the next power.”
“The icing on the cake is all our existing UAD plug-in partners including Neve, Roland,
SPL, Valley People and Empirical Labs are not only ready to get onboard UAD-2, but
will be joined by new partners: Harrision, Moog, and Little Labs.” enthused Matt Ward,
President of Universal Audio. “ These partnerships have helped us to create the most
authentic plug-in emulations on the market and now those plugs run on the platform with
the most power all in a package that’s within the price range of a small project studio.”
“What makes UAD-2 truly unique is that it not only sounds stellar due to our proprietary
UAi modeling technology but it’s deliberately priced to be accessible to all types of
studio’s from bedroom, to project to full pro facility.” added Bill Putnam Junior, UA’s
CEO & Founder. “From the basic UAD-2 Solo/Duo/Quad to the Flexi (make your own
bundle) and Nevana 32/64/128 (exclusive Neve® console bundles), the UAD-2 is one of
those rare products which brings UA’s superior sonic quality and legacy of professional
recording know-how within the reach of everyone.”
