Information:

Plug Universal

Audio's amazing UAD-2 QUAD Core PCIe card

into your computer and find out what your

mixes have been missing! Turbocharged with

four Analog Devices SHARC chips, this UAD-2

QUAD gives you the awesome DSP power you

need to take the load off your CPU, plus the

Analog Classics Plus collection - a killer

bundle of UAD-powered plug-ins that will

infuse your mix with the freakishly

realistic sound of studio-standard analog

gear. Any way you look at it, the Universal

UAD-2 QUAD is a major upgrade to any studio.

Acceleration System at a Glance:

Flexible operation modes for tracking and

Analog Classics Plus starts you off with

five killer UAD plug-ins

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. Each of the four SHARC chips onboard

boasts 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 system is

more than impressive. Better still, you can

mix and match up to four UAD-2 PCIe cards or

Satellites, allowing you to meet the

processing needs of even the most demanding

sessions.

Flexible operation modes for tracking and

mixing

Using UAD-2 QUAD'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

QUAD 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.

Analog Classics Plus starts you off with

five killer UAD plug-ins

Universal Audio's Analog Classics Plus

collection starts off with a couple of

classic UA dynamics processors: the iconic

LA-2A audio leveler and 1176LN/SE limiting

amplifiers. It's almost unfair how realistic

these plug-ins sound, let alone the fact

that your UAD-2 card has more than enough

power to run several instances of both at

once. Then there's a dead-on re-creation of

Pultec's legendary EQP-1A program EQ, the

Pultec Pro EQ, plus the outstanding RealVerb

Pro room modeler. And if that's not enough,

you can always pick up more plug-ins a la

carte at the UAD store.
