Universal Audio has announced the release of new UAD plug-ins: two are from the UAD 4K series, the UAD 4K Channel Strip and the UAD 4K Buss Compressor. Both offer emulation of the SSL 4000 G+ console. The Channel Strip includes the Type E “black knob” 4-band EQ, which is a favorite among engineers. The Buss Compressor offers simple controls and transparent compression, modeled on the 4000 G+ buss compressor.
Universal Audio also unveiled the Cooper Time Cube Mk II for UAD-2 (does not support UAD-1), which models the vibe of the original mechanical delay that was co-designed by Duane H. Coope and Bill Putnam. Two delay lines can be set independently, with separate Delay, Decay, Pan, and Volume controls. Each delay line also has tempo sync. Other controls include Treble and Bass, Highpass filter, and Wet Solo. A “Coils” selection recreates the original Time Cube sound, and analog-style metering provides visual feedback.
All three plug-ins are compatible with UAD-1 and UAD-2. Fourteen-day trial versions are available for download.
