UAD-2 Octo Core

Universal Audio UAD-2 PCIe OCTO Core An eight-core PCIe card for desktop systems that augments computer processing power and dramatically improves sonic quality of computer-based music production Offering the world’s most authentic analog hardware emulations and award-winning plug-ins for Mac and PC, the UAD-2 OCTO Core is powered by Universal Audio’s octo-core DSP Accelerator hardware, featuring eight SHARC processors. The “Core” in UAD-2 OCTO Core refers to the included UA Analog Classics bundle of powered plug-ins, which deliver the rich, analog sound quality of vintage studio gear, including the great classics made by Universal Audio’s Bill Putnam Sr. The UAD-2 OCTO Core was designed for professional power users, but also makes an excellent upgrade in mixing capability for any professional and project studio. Thanks to UA’s decades as an industry leader in analog equipment, as well as the commanding lead they’ve taken in digital emulations, UAD-2 OCTO Core offers sound quality that is near impossible to achieve with native systems—and the three-dimensional sound to in-the-box mixes that was previously only available from analog outboard equipment.
