Universal Audio UAD-2 PCIe Quad Core A dual-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 DUO is powered by Universal Audio’s dual-core DSP Accelerator hardware, featuring two SHARC processors. The “Core” in UAD-2 DUO 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 DUO Core was designed for the project studio or the home recordist looking to bring their production processing quality up to professional levels. 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 DUO offers sound quality that is near impossible to achieve with native systems—and that three-dimensional sound to in-the-box mixes that was previously only available from analog outboard equipment.

INSIDE THE BOX

UNIVERSAL AUDIO’S UAD-2 DSP ACCELERATOR CARDS OFFER A HIGH-PERFORMANCE SOLUTION FOR RUNNING UAD PLUG-INS ON MAC AND PC TOWERS, PLUS SELECT PCIE AND THUNDERBOLT EXPANSION CHASSIS. THESE PACKAGES CONTAIN A USER-INSTALLABLE PCIE CARD WITH A CHOICE OF FOUR DIFFERENT PROCESSING LEVELS:SOLO, DUO, QUAD, AND OCTO. EACH OF THE UAD-2 DSP ACCELERATOR CARDS COME WITH THE “ANALOG CLASSICS” PLUG-IN BUNDLE, WHICH SUPPORTS VST, AU, AND RTAS, AS WELL AS PRO TOOLS 11 AAX—GIVING YOU VINTAGE TONE AND CHARACTER, RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. 

THE ACTUAL PLUG-IN PROCESSING IS OFFLOADED TO THE UAD-2 DUO PCIE CARD HARDWARE VIA ANALOG DEVICES SHARC PROCESSORS. THE UAD-2 FREES UP YOUR COMPUTER FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS MIXING AUDIO, RUNNING SAMPLERS, OR SOFT SYNTHS. THE END RESULT IS THAT YOU CAN ADD SUBSTANTIAL POWER TO YOUR STUDIO AND RUN MORE PROFESSIONAL MIXES ON YOUR SYSTEM.

WHAT SEPARATES UAD PLUG-INS FROM THE REST IS PHYSICAL MODELING OF CLASSIC AUDIO HARDWARE. UNIVERSAL AUDIO’S ENGINEERS, WHICH COMPRISE SOME OF THE WORLD’S LEADING DSP AUTHORITIES, INCLUDING PHD-LEVEL SCIENTISTS FROM STANFORD, MIT, AND CAMBRIDGE, ESSENTIALLY “REBUILD” VINTAGE ANALOG GEAR IN THE DIGITAL WORLD, COMPONENT BY COMPONENT. THAT’S HOW UAD-2 PLUG-INS REPLICATE THE EXACT AND SOMETIMES QUIRKY, NON-LINEAR BEHAVIOR OF ANALOG HARDWARE—BRINGING ITS RICH, THREE-DIMENSIONAL SOUND AND EUPHONIC CHARACTER “IN THE BOX.” 

PHYSICAL MODELING IS A MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING PROCESS THAN THE SIGNAL MODELING APPROACH USED BY MANY OTHER “EMULATION” PLUG-INS. UA’S METICULOUS APPROACH MEANS THAT UAD-2 PLUG-INS NOT ONLY SOUND LIKE THE ORIGINAL VINTAGE HARDWARE; THEY BEHAVE LIKE THE ORIGINAL DEVICES, AT EVEN THE MOST EXTREME SETTINGS.

APART FROM THE PURE SCIENCE OF PHYSICAL MODELING, THE QUALITY AND ACCURACY OF UAD POWERED PLUG-INS CAN ALSO BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE RELATIONSHIPS UNIVERSAL AUDIO MAINTAINS WITH ITS PARTNERS. UA GOES RIGHT TO THE SOURCE OF THE HARDWARE, WHETHER IT’S ROLAND, NEVE, MANLEY, STUDER, SSL, LEXICON, EMPIRICAL LABS, EMT, TRIDENT, ETC. USING ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER’S SCHEMATICS AND “GOLDEN” UNITS, UA ENGINEERS WORK CLOSELY WITH THE ORIGINAL DESIGNERS THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, ENSURING THAT UAD PLUG-IN EMULATIONS ARE AS CLOSE TO THEIR ANALOG COUNTERPARTS AS POSSIBLE. PERHAPS THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE OF THE UAD-2 DSP ACCELERATOR CARDS IS THE ABILITY TO ADD NEW PLUG-INS AS YOUR NEEDS OR DESIRES DICTATE, OR AS NEW ONES ARE DEVELOPED—AND WHEN IT COMES TO CUSTOMER FEEDBACK, UA DOES TAKE REQUESTS. THE UAD-2 LIBRARY NOW FEATURES OVER 90 PLUG-INS, CO-DEVELOPED WITH THE BIGGEST BRANDS IN AUDIO, INCLUDING STUDER, AMPEX, LEXICON, EVE, MANLEY, ROLAND, SSL AND MORE. THESE EXCLUSIVE PLUG-INS CAN BE PURCHASED ALONGSIDE UAD-2 DSP ACCELERATOR HARDWARE AS PART OF THE “CUSTOM” AND “ULTIMATE 2” PACKAGES, OR YOU CAN BUY UAD PLUG-INS À LA CARTE FROM UA’S ONLINE STORE.
