UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator Cards

I'm actually mixed about 5/6 songs using only UAD plugin! ....I've done all the mixes just with my DAW: my clients are everybody really happy!
It's fantistic how I can create my sound with an accurrancy that I never had before!
Perfect hi end and really concrete bottom!
I think with UAD it' s begun a new era!

Cool guys! I'm always waiting for any news from UAD world!

All the best,

It is what it is. The beginning and end of "in the box" mixing tools. I had the duo and needed the headroom so I bought the quad. My only complaint (and it is probably not even valid) is that i don't feel as if it have doubled my headroom, but, then again, i also bought the 224 and the FATSO with the voucher i got, and those are both CPU suckers of the first degree. With the UA stuff I feel like I am done as far as "in the box" is concerned.

UAD products have drastically improved my workflow and final
Result. I really can't imagine having to mix without them
Now.

Good Sound powered Plug-in UAD-2
Thank You Universal Audio

I was introduced to UAD-2 Plug-Ins a couple of years ago by a friend who works in a professional audio shop in Sydney, Australia. I told him I was looking for tools to help me with my mixes and at that stage, I was prepared to invest in hardware. Thanks to his introduction to Universal Audio, I found a new and more practical alternative that fits perfectly into my studio environment. Now I have two UAD-2 DUO PCI Cards and about two-dozen UAD Plug-Ins. All that's left is the enjoyment and the journey of creativity and learning. The technical side has been covered. I have the same tools as professional recording studios. Thank you, Universal Audio for helping me take a big step forward.

Really nice entry level card to get into the world of UAD plugins. The included set of plugins is already a very nice and versatile set of plugins.

Very easy installation.
Installation and use of the card has never given me any problems.

I already own a Solo and a Duo card, so this just increases my available DSP for more plugins, very nice!

Comes with a voucher. So one could get a plugin at reduced price or if one's lucky a plugin for free during one of UA's many sales.

The only minor downside I can think of is in the software; it's not possible to hide any plugins that one hasn't bought yet.

This product is great.

I've now got some incredible plug ins that sounds amazing and allows my computer to run much smoother in the process.

It really has changed the way I can record / mix

This has made such a difference in my project studio. The plug ins are astounding and adds amazing tone / processing power that I would never have thought i would be able to get on my mixes

The new UAD-2 SOLO DSP accelerator is a lot better that the UAD-1. It's working perfectly, and is way faster than it's predcessor! Absolutely fantastic!

I love UAD plugins from years..
the quad card is great..
so i used the "trade in" giving you back my 2 old uad 1..

i choose the pci express card because i use win 7 x64..
and at now there are no windows drivers for Satellite..

i wish in the future to have 1 apollo and 3 Satellite all Quad ..

i would like to have all the plugins licences.. but to much money for now..

Now i need some months collecting cash ..
and i'm plannig to buy:

Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder
Studer® A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder
Roland® RE-201 Space Echo Tape Delay
Lexicon® 224 Digital Reverb
Cooper® Time Cube Mk II Delay
FATSO™ Jr./Sr. Tape Sim. & Compressor

Maybe...Can I have one years demo Time?
hihihi

Many thanks

My old system, which was a UAD-2 Duo and a UAD-1 occasionally ran out of gas on plug-in intensive mixes. With the upgrade to the UAD-2 Solo, I'm betting that this will be a thing of the past. The very generous $200 credit added to the incentive to move up.
More instantiations of great stuff---nuttin' wrong with that.
Thank you UA!

Exactly the plugins you don't expect. Everything in this bundle sounds different from every other software i've ever tried. Simply fantastic.

This my second UAD unit. Upgraded from the UAD1 Mackie and couldn't be happier. The emulations are and have always been incredible. The amount of instances I use would have my cpu fried in minutes with vsts but the UAD processor makes filling up my channels with top notch plug ins a stress free procedure. There really is not much I say that countless other satified costumers haven't said already. This product needs to be in the arsenal of anyone who is serious about maximizing their sonic potential.


Although the plugins can be pricey at times you really get what you pay for. Universal Audio is easily one if the best companies out there, offering reliabilty and care for both their products and costumers.


Thanks for the smooth ride UA!

Bought this Solo card after my UAD-1 aged out. Works like a charm.

I purchased the UAD-2 after having a UAD-1 card. I use UAD plugs exclusively in MUTU DP. I wish I owned all the UAD processors.

Fantastic. 'Analog Classics' bundle has improved the quality of my mixes - particularly impressed with the Pultec EQ. The DSP card can handle many instances of VSTs. I especially like the fact that this bundle comes with trials of all the other UAD-2 VSTs, so that you can scope out which you'd most benefit investing in.

This is my 3rd UAD card. Great buy I did back in 2006 when I bought a UAD1 Ultra-Pack. The UAD1 has gone now and in its place there are two UAD2's (Duo + Quad) and a larger plug-in collection. Excelent and fantastic plug-ins, absolutely the best - my mixing dutties could not be without them. Thank's UAD guys for keeping on giving us such great products.

......the first Quad 2 card I had received unfortunately did`nt work well. But- within a week - with the very personal help of the Universal Support team - I had the card changed. And....what can I say - I´am very happy with it now !
Especially the 1176 Classic Limiter Collection,the EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverb (sounds just great !) ,The Roland RE-201 & the CE -1 ( I own the original hardware as well) and the dimension D sound just like the originals and I`am using it every day in my productions !
So-what can I say-great fun working with these fine tools !

I upgraded from a single UAD-1 to a UAD-2 Quad, so there was clearly a huge boost to DSP power. I can load as many plugins as I care to for most projects, but even this behemoth isn't enough to slap tape on every track along with tracking or mixing chains. Unless you only have a few tracks, you have to treat "bouncing to tape" as a separate process. I'm alright with that if it keeps plugin quality up.

I recently upgraded from 1 UAD-2 Solo card and 3 UAD-1 cards to a UAD-2 quad. The upgrade has completely changed my workflow, and allowed me to rely almost entirely on UAD plugins. I was able to insert 3-4 UAD plugins per channel on a recent project with a medium track count with no issues. A great purchase!
