NEWS - Universal Audio Launches New Plug-Ins!

Universal Audio has announced the web release of v4.7 software for the UAD Family of DSP Cards & Powered Plug-Ins. Version 4.7 includes 14-day fully functional demos of the new Neve 88RS Channel Strip and LA3A Classic Compressor.

Registered UAD customers can purchase full authorisations of the Neve 88RS plug-in for $299 and the LA3A for $149 at my.uaudio.com. For a limited time, the new plug-ins will be eligible for discounts as part of the multi-buy and power-user promotions at my.uaudio.com that expire at the end of June.

"Our Neve 88RS channel strip is modelled on the current flagship of Neve's stellar sounding analogue consoles and sets the price/sonic benchmark for plug-in channel strips." said Mike Barnes, VP of Marketing for Universal Audio. With its four-band EQ, VCA type Limit/Comp dynamics, Gate/Expander and internal side-chaining for de-essing, the 88RS gives desktop DAW users access to a fully-featured virtual Neve console at a simply remarkable price. Its low-distortion enables efficient DSP design, so users can run around 9 stereo instances (18 channels) on one UAD card @ 44.1kHz, giving up to a full 72 channel configuration on a fully expanded 4-card UAD system.

Key Neve 88RS Features include:

* EQ & Dynamics form Neve's flagship analogue console * Four-band parametric EQ with High & Low -Shelf Filters * Highly flexible Limiter/Compressor, Gate/Expander Dynamics Section

The LA3A plug-in is modelled on UA's own classic hardware compressor, which has become a workhorse dynamics unit in studios around the world. The LA3A plug-in now sits alongside the 1176LN and LA2A, so that all three vintage compressors are now available in both hardware and software versions.

Key LA-3A Features include:

* Definitive solid-state optical compressor * Modelled from a "golden" vintage unit in UA's collection * Gain and peak reduction controls plus limit/compress switch
