Universal Audio has updated its UAD-2 DSP Accelerator Packages (http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad/index.html). All UAD-2 SOLO, DUO and QUAD DSP Accelerator Packages now feature smaller, “greener” packaging, and include the new Analog Classics software bundle at no additional cost .

UAD-2 DSP Accelerator Packages are instant sonic upgrades for Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo or Digital Performer, providing rich, analog sound quality that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with a native Mac- or PC-based system, according to the folks at Universal Audio. And they grant users access to the entire catalog of UAD powered plug-ins, including favorites from Manley, Roland, BOSS, Empirical Labs, EMT, Fairchild, Harrison, Helios, Little Labs, Pultec, SPL, Trident, Teletronix and more. The new Analog Classics software bundle features:

° LA-2A Classic Audio Leveler — previously only available for purchase online, this plug-in offers emulation of UA’s electro-optical, analog compressor;

° 1176LN Classic Limiting Amplifier — also previously only available for purchase online, this plug-in offers emulation of UA’s FET-based, hardware classic;

° 1176SE Limiting Amplifier — a DSP-optimized version of the 1176LN, yielding higher instance counts and its own unique characteristics;

° Pultec EQP-1A EQ — another emulator of classic analog gear;

° RealVerb Pro Room Modeler — a natural sounding reverb plug-in.
