    Love this thing - i don't get it or what it's doing but it's a pretty amazing tool. I don't master stuff but i like to make a ix feel as final as possible when I sent to a client so i throw this on the master bus alot and I generally like it. it replaced the god particle for me.

    It adds a depth, a loudness that's gentle.

    This really works good for my style of music. Italo, Synthetic and epic drums. It adds a few loudness to the overall without losing the target purpose of everything in the mix. My only issue is that it loads very slowly and sometimes stalls when loading it. None of the other plugins to this. I am patient so it's fine for now.

    It’s old … but it’s great

    Whenever I need to get a bit clarity in a mix or on a track then I try to put this on and in 90% of the cases or +95% it actually works. I would love to have the native version (that’s why it’s a 4 star)

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.
