What They Say

I've worked with all the UAD Neve plug-ins and they sound exceptionally good. They do exactly what I had hoped they would do.

The new Neve 1073 plug-in is a bigger-sounding, punchier version of the original. The addition of the fader and impedance switch offers more possibilities and an even more accurate representation of the original console.

    Best Preamp and EQ plugin in the world.

    I use it with a UAD Spark subscription because UAD sound cards are very expensive in my country. It does an incredibly good result. Please do not make the Native version of this plugin available only with a Spark subscription. There are a lot of users who don't have a UAD sound card, and it would be very, very nice if this plugin is native and can be purchased by anyone.

    Neve Warmth

    All of the UAD Neve plugins are top notch! Just adding this to a track without touching a single dial, adds color and warmth. The presets are great and what I always start with. 9 times out of 10, I don't have to adjust but if I do, the presets get me very close to what I'm wanting to hear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
