SCOTTS VALLEY, CA • February 12th, 2019 — Universal Audio is proud to release UAD Software v9.8 featuring the V76 Preamplifier. UAD v9.8 also adds direct developer plug-ins Antares Auto-Tune Realtime Advanced and the Diezel Herbert Amplifier.

Antares Auto-Tune Realtime Advanced Plug‑In — $299*

(*$49 for previous owners of Antares Auto-Tune Realtime)

Legendary for its vocal enhancing and creative applications, the Auto-Tune effect revolutionized vocal production. From subtly tweaking a singer’s intonation to transforming a vocal into varying degrees of robot-speak, Auto-Tune is a must-have tool for the modern music producer’s toolkit.

A Universal Audio exclusive, the Antares Auto-Tune Realtime Advanced plug-in improves the previous UAD version with powerful workflow and sonic enhancements, making it the ultimate ultra-low-latency tuning solution for Apollo and Arrow interfaces — optimized for instant live vocal tracking in the studio or on stage.

Antares Auto-Tune Realtime Advanced Plug-In — Key Features:

• Realtime Auto-Tune pitch correction for UA Audio Interfaces and UAD hardware
• Create the iconic Auto-Tune Vocal Effect or fine tune a vocal performance
• Classic mode for the iconic “Auto-Tune 5” sound used by Cher and Kanye West
• Ultra-low latency on stage or when tracking in the studio

Diezel Herbert Amplifier Plug-In — $149

Diezel's Herbert amplifier is a 180-watt pulverizer designed to deliver the meanest of means, the cleanest of cleans — and more. Still considered state-of-the art nearly 20 years after its release, the Diezel Herbert is a mainstay in heavy rock, and extreme metal productions — anywhere bold, powerful electric guitar tones are required.

Developed by Brainworx and officially endorsed by legendary amp builder Peter Diezel, the Diezel Herbert plug-in masterfully emulates this six KT77-equipped sledgehammer, for UAD hardware and UA Audio Interfaces.

Diezel Herbert Amplifier Plug-In — Key Features:

• Exacting emulation of the original Diezel Herbert 180-watt guitar amp
• Endorsed and fully authenticated by Peter Diezel
• 120 Recording Chains with multiple speaker cabinets – recorded in Brainworx’s studio using the Neve VXS72 console, outboard gear, and world class mics
• Feels like a real amp when played through UA Audio Interfaces' Realtime UAD Processing
