The Ultimate 8 UAD: Unlocking the Power of Analog Sound

For over 20 years, we have been experts in Pro Audio Solutions and Studio Recording Equipment. We provide our clients with independent and personalized advice when choosing the right product or service, whether you are a musician, sound designer, studio owner, DJ, or producer.

That's how UAD plug-ins replicate the exact, sometimes quirky, behavior of analog hardware - bringing its rich, three-dimensional sound and harmonics 'in the box.' In developing UAD plug-ins, UA's engineering group undertakes a thorough physical modeling of classic audio hardware - 'rebuilding' vintage analog gear in the digital world, component by component.

The Ultimate 8 is our flagship package, including all 104 UA-developed plug-ins up to and including UAD software 9.7. The Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle comes with UAD-2 Core packages, while Custom packages include the Analog Classics Plus bundle, plus a choice of any three individual UAD plug-ins at registration.

Up to six UAD-2 devices can be combined in a single system. Our eight-chip UAD-2 OCTO is perfect for power users, allowing professionals to craft mixes filled with the rich analog sound of UAD plug-ins. The four-processor UAD-2 QUAD is a workhorse of modern mixing, giving project studios the power to run medium-sized sessions.

Our UAD-2 DSP Accelerator cards are available in QUAD and OCTO configurations, with four or eight individual SHARC processors respectively. No other plug-ins so faithfully capture the sound and behavior of classic analog equipment - from rare compressors and equalizers, to vintage reverb processors and tape machines.

These popular UAD plug-in packages feature a user-installable DSP Accelerator Card for your desktop tower or PCIe expansion chassis, plus a choice of software bundles to give you vintage tone and character, right out of the box. Whether you're a serious home recordist or a multi-platinum mix engineer, UAD Powered Plug-Ins have been winning over audio professionals for more than 10 years.

Our UAD-2 DSP Accelerators super-charge your PC or Mac workstation with world-class UAD Powered Plug-Ins - including exclusive analog emulations from Studer, Ampex, Lexicon, Neve, Manley, Moog, Marshall, SSL, and many more. With the Ultimate 8 UAD, you can unlock the power of analog sound and take your music production to new heights.
