UAD: The Industry’s Most Respected Collection of Audio Plug-Ins

The UAD Powered Plug-Ins have been winning over audio professionals for more than 15 years from serious recordists to multi-platinum mix engineers. The is a simple reason. No other plug-ins are able to fully capture the behavious and sound of classic analog equipment - from rare equalizers and compressors, to tape machines and vintage reverb processors.

The UAD library comes with over 100 plug-ins, and with the biggest brands in audio have come alongside for more development. As part of bundled packages, these can be purchased with UAD-2 hardware from retailers, or you can buy UAD plug-ins à la carte from UA’s Online Store.

Powerful, Expandable Processing

UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt 3 is available in QUAD or OCTO models with either four or eight SHARC processors, respectively. It can also be integrated alongside UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator cards and Thunderbolt-equipped UA Audio Interfaces, including Arrow, Apollo Twin, and Apollo X interfaces for truly scalable mixing power.

UAD Plug-In Craftsmanship: The Science Behind the Scenes

In developing UAD plug-ins, UA’s acclaimed engineers undertake intensive physical modeling of classic audio hardware — “rebuilding” vintage analog gear in the digital world, component by component. UAD plug-ins replicate the exact, sometimes quirky behavior of the most prized analog hardware in existence, bringing you rich, three-dimensional sound and harmonics "in the box.”
