This Is The One To Have!

I've been cutting and mixing records since the 80's and I was brought up on a Neve 8048 and an SSL 4000E, so naturally these were the first two plugins I checked out. The 1081EQ seemed a little smoother than I expected, but other than that it seemed dead on to me. The SSL strip was killer also! Back in the 80's I used actual LA2A's and 1176's and the ones that come with this card sound great. My signal flow was from the mic into the Neve through the LA2A and into a Studer A800, now I can re-create this using my UA gear. The card was also a breeze to install into my Mac Pro.
Universal Audio is the Real Deal!

The best!

A UAD-2 card is the number one "must-have" for any DAW system. Their plug-in emulations of analog hardware standards (e.g., LA-2A, Neve 1073, EMT Plate 140, Roland Space Echo, others) are unparalleled. Believe the hype on this one. Highly recommended.
