Classic Neve Powered Plug-ins and More

Plug Universal Audio's amazing UAD-2 Quad Neve PCIe card into your computer and find out what your mixes have been missing! This powerful card delivers a collection of classic-sounding processing plug-ins that truly rival their hardware counterparts - at a fraction of the cost. Put a bundle of incredible Neve-licensed plug-ins (including the Neve 88RS channel strip; the 1073, 1081, and 31102 EQs; and the 33609 compressor) inside your DAW and prepare to be blown away. You'll also be amazed by the UAD-2 Quad Neve's Analog Classics collection, which includes spot-on plug-in versions of the venerable LA-2A audio leveler, 1176LN/SE limiting amps, and Pultec's EQP-1A program EQ. You also get the outstanding RealVerb Pro room modeler and CS-1 channel strip plug-ins. UAD-2 Quad Neve gives you all this plus the awesome DSP power you need to take the load off of your CPU!

The UAD-2 cards take advantage of state-of-the-art chip technology. These SHARC chips boast 32-bit floating-point architecture, for the ultimate in precision and performance. When put to work on premium PCIe cards, such as the UAD-2 Quad Neve, the chips' power potential is truly phenomenal. While the power of each individual UAD-2 card is incredible on its own, you can use cards in tandem to meet the needs of even the most demanding sessions. In all, you can mix and match UAD-2 cards to create a maximum of a 4-card UAD-2 card system.

Using UAD-2 Quad Neve's LiveTrack mode, you can reduce latency on active UAD-2 plug-ins to the lowest amount possible - ideal for monitoring rich processed audio during the tracking stages. By default, UAD-2 Quad Neve's LoadLock feature is turned on. This useful tool automatically reserves the maximum DSP load that each UAD-2 plug-in could ever demand - even if you're not using all of its features. This way, you'll be certain you have enough DSP to engage all the features, such as writing automation, later in your mix, without making sonic compromises and pulling plug-ins down the line. If you prefer to manage your DSP resources manually, you can easily disable LoadLock.

In addition to the tremendous plug-in package included with the UAD-2 Quad Neve, you get a $100 plug-in voucher that you can use toward any of Universal Audio's world-class plug-ins. Recognized as an industry leader in creating dead-on models of the most sought-after vintage gear, Universal Audio offers affordably priced plug-in versions of everything from a Fairchild compressor to the Roland Space Echo - and far, far beyond.

Universal Audio exploited every drop of power technologically possible in designing the UAD-2 cards. Complementing the achievement, they've expanded their power on the sonic front as well. You'll be able to open up your DAW to absolutely stunning plug-ins UA has developed in partnership with top names, such as Manley, Empirical Labs, Neve, Roland, BOSS, EMT, Fairchild, Harrison, Helios, Little Labs, Pultec, SPL, Teletronix, and more. And with the potency packed in these new cards, Universal Audio has positioned themselves to develop entirely new kinds of plug-ins, including instruments and impulse-based reverb effects.

A must have if you're serious

by CL from Georgia

Music Background: 30 plus years as a musician, 19 recording and engineering
This is a must have if you're serious about taking your sound to the next level. Let's face it, all of us are trying to get that "it" sound we hear on the radio or on commercially released material. W... read more [+]hile this is not the only necessity for you to get there it is an important step. You cannot buy the real boards for anywhere near this price even now.
The presets are awesome and there are plenty of them stock. I use it in Logic and it is ultra easy to install. There is a learning curve with how the plug ins operate unless you were fortunate to have used the real ones before. It makes the "digital" sound now have a very warm and clean analog sound. Hearing is believing.
On a final note just keep in mind that when you buy the Quad Neve you are paying more for the quad processing power than the plug ins per se. After listening to the demo plug ins a part of me wishes I would've taken the plunge and got the Omni as it comes with 35 plug ins that I now see myself purchasing as soon as the demo mode runs out. It would've saved me a few bucks but you won't be disappointed with the quality and ease of use with this product. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Austin Moss
After owning a UAD-1 for a couple of years I am so excited to see this card come to market! More DSP is always a good thing, but when the plug-ins are of this calibre it's great. This is like having how many UAD-1 cards in your system? Did you see how many Neve plug-ins can run on this 4-chip card?!
