UAD-2 Satellite Quad Thunderbolt Custom

Having used Macs, Plug-Ins and the software drivers that accompany many other pieces of music gear, I have developed a strange habit over the past 15 years...and that is that I (out of fear for much of my software and hardware drivers not yet getting the kinks ironed out at the time of system upgrade to eliminate the possibility of a sudden system bug. In this case I just upgraded yesterday from Yosemite to Sierra...I also set up my UAD-@ Satellite yesterday and I am delighted to say the install and subsequent testing I ran through last night was/is flawless. I feel that with the expertise and reputation that has remained true with Universal Audio over the years, I can not worry about this any longer. So pleased.

Now on to the plug-ins and operation...so simple, so pleasing the results of effect processing. And easy to navigate and learn, due to the very helpful instructional and demo videos used to entice the sale of plug-in on the UAudio.com site. Furthermore, those aren't even the full resources made available on operation and instruction, there is plenty to look at for help, and the explanations given, examples played while changing the parameters on the virtual gear to demonstrate the range(s), is simply explained and I am sure a lot of work went into developing those demos and instructions, so "thank you UAudio" for a job well done and enabling me to hit the ground running with this solution that is certainly one of the cornerstones of my music studio.

I have been eying the Satellite for well over a year and a half and would recommend to anyone, that the investment is a bargain for what you get right out of the box.

Bye bye Hardware

I am loving the UAD Satélite Octo Core , I was thinking of buying rack hardware but after using this accelerator it opened my mind to work in the box only !! Thank you Universal Audio !!!

Well worth the investment...

I remember calculating how many instances of my favorite plugins would I being able to run if I upgraded to the UAD-2 Satellite Octo, and if it was worth the purchase. I was so wrong! It is so much more than that. The best thing about this unit is that it enables a much broader universe of possibilities with UAD plugins. Now I can do elaborate chains with the most taxing plugins without running out of DSP, or mix entire sessions using only UAD plugins on every channel, which was ultimately impossible with the Apollo Twin, and at the end of the day the sound difference is huge. Another example, I was working on at 48k using 37% of the DSP, when switching the same session to 96K the DSP jumped to 45% only, which is really helpful. Now I rarely have to waste time freezing channels. This unit is rather pricey, but is well worth the investment. The included plugin discount coupon was a big plus too. I would recommend it to anyone that is serious about engineering with UAD plugins and is constantly running out of DSP.

Simply Amazing!

I've been looking for that specific "thing" to take my mixes over the top and now, I've found it! I've never been able to say "everything" sounds awesome on everything. There's absolutely nothing bad to say about this product. I love and hate you all at the same time UA! LOL! ❤️

UAD-2 OCTO....

I finally entered the world of UAD after reading and researching it for years. The UAD nay sayers were all so wrong ! These plugins are unbeatable. It was noticeable straight away. So happy I can now focus on making music instead of always trying to find the best this or that plugin. Thanks UAD!

UA Can Do No Wrong!

Yet another killer product by UA! After adding the Satellite Octo my setup screams with speed and handles everything I throw at it like it was nothing! This won't be my last UA purchase. They're stuck with me for life!!

Octo Power with discount

I wanted to grab the opportunity to get the Satellite with UAD's discount, so I grabbed one a few months ago. Because UAD plugins are an addiction, I ended up getting a second one before the discounts ended.

Happy now, I can have as many non-legacy plugins as I want in every session (within reason...), so all I can say is that the thing just works. Plug it in and the plugin away!

Great product, great idea

I had the USB version of this, I gave up on PC and went to Mac and haven't looked back. Not because the USB version was bad, I just got sick of Windows. Anyway, this is fantastic and is extremely useful for powering those amazing, but heavy and intensive plugins. Only one criticism. You should be able to somehow lend processing power to Apollo interfaces because they are only barely capable of running some plugins.

Brilliant access to incredible emulations

I bought this mainly for mastering hardware emulations and I am extremely impressed by the sound of the software. It is tremendous. The box itself is simple, elegant and doesn't take up too much space. Excellent.

Awesome power for a small package

Great, portable option for 8 cores of UAD horsepower. Since we're in the age of thunderbolt and peripherals, having the option to go portable and take this on a mobile rig is invaluable!

I need more

Quad satellite is awesome!!! I'd love a few more of these so I can run more UA plugs. I love the UA sound so much I am running their plugs exclusively in my system. The satellite is a sweet option for more DSP without having to buy converters. UA ROCKS!!!!!!!

8 more cores to the arsenal

I've been working with a Duo for some time. Slowly started adding more and more plugins to my toolkit. Having the additional 8 cores allows me to work with many more instances and helps increase workflow. Now I just wish I had 16 more...

A Boost on your mixes!!!

The Satellite helps me a lot on very huge and large mixes. It´s a must on your UA setup!!! In my case it complements my Apollo 8 and my Apollo Twin... simply rocks!
