Experience the power of SHARC chip technology

Universal Audio's UAD-2 cards take advantage of state-of-the-art DSP technology,

adding serious horsepower to your music-production system. These SHARC chips

boast 32-bit floating-point architecture, for the ultimate in precision and

performance. When put to the test, the power potential of even a single UAD-2

card is more than impressive. Better still, you can mix and match up to four

UAD-2 cards, allowing you to meet the processing needs of even the most

demanding sessions.

Flexible operation modes for tracking and mixing

Using UAD-2 OCTO's LiveTrack mode, you can reduce latency on active UAD-2

plug-ins to the lowest amount possible. That's just what you need for monitoring

processed audio during the live tracking stages. On the mixing side, Universal

Audio gave the UAD-2 OCTO a handy LoadLock feature. This useful tool lets you

automatically reserve the maximum DSP load that each of your active UAD-2

plug-ins could ever demand, so you'll be certain you have enough DSP to engage

features, such as writing automation, later.

Take home the complete UAD-powered plug-in library

With the UAD-2 OCTO Ultimate 2 system, you'll never make due with a

less-than-ideal plug-in choice again. Why? Because Universal Audio's hooking you

up with a huge selection of UAD-powered plug-ins from their extensive UAD-powered

plug-in library - more than 70 amazing virtual processors and effects. From
