UAD-2 Solo - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

Universal Audio’s new UAD-2 cards offer a significant speed bump over the original UAD-1 DSP acceleration system. Mark Cousins enjoys the extra juice.

Price: £345.00
Manufacturer: Universal Audio
Website: http://www.uaudio.com

When the UAD-1 PCI DSP acceleration card was released in 2001 it would be fair to say that it didn’t create any significant flurry of excitement. At the time, the clear winner in the accelerated plug-in market was TC Electronic’s PowerCore, which ported many of TC’s successful hardware algorithms (from the likes of the Finalizer and M5000 reverb) into plug-in form. By comparison, UA’s
UAD-1 had only a relatively modest collection of plug-ins, although cleverly, Universal Audio had tapped into the notion of modelling vintage hardware products in software form, including the 1176 Limiting Amplifier and LA-2A Levelling Amplifier.
