UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 18 - Chapter 1: Introduction
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Welcome!
Congratulations, and welcome to the UA Family! You now own the best
sounding, most powerful sonic upgrade available for your DAW. The UAD-2
and version 6 software represents the culmination of a multi-year develop-
ment effort delivering the latest in state-of-the-art audio processing technology
and is the next evolution of the revolutionary, award-winning UAD Powered
Plug-Ins & DSP Device Platform.
For many years our customers have been asking for a UAD with more power
and the UAD-2 is all about putting more power in your hands – more power
to track, mix and master. The UAD-2 Quad offers, on average, an incredible
10 times the power of the UAD-1, while the UAD-2 Duo offers 5 times, and
UAD-2 Solo offers 2.5 times the power. The UAD-2 Quad supports an awe-
inspiring 128-channel Neve 88RS mixer at 44.1k. That’s a full console for the
largest of professional mixes on ONE incredibly priced UAD-2 device!
Up to four UAD-2 devices can be mixed and matched to conveniently scale
the DSP power you want at the price you can afford. Start with a Nevana 32
and instantly run a 32 channel Neve 88RS console. Then, simply add more
devices for additional outboard FX or more mix channels as your needs grow.
Pro power-users can now use up to four UAD-2 Quads for the most demand-
ing applications with equivalent potency to 40 UAD-1 cards! Now inside-the-
box mixing is as powerful as outside.
Once you’re settled in with your new UAD-2 select from our ever growing
Powered Plug-Ins Collection to custom build your own virtual mixing console,
mastering console, mix sidecar, or inboard dream-FX-rack from UA’s exclu-
sive collection of revered studio gear including classics from Neve®, Ro-
land/BOSS®, Helios®, Fairchild, Pultec, SPL®, Moog®, Empirical Labs®,
Manley Laboratories®, dbx®, Studer®, Ampex®, SSL®, Harmon®, and of
course UA’s own 1176LN, LA-2A, and LA-3A compressors, as well as our crit-
ically acclaimed line of Precision Mix Series and Mastering Series plug-ins.
Digital recreations of other seminal analog studio gems from other legendary
analog manufacturers are on the way.
