12 Studio Legends in One Download
The UAD Native Classics Bundle rounds up 12 of Universal Audio's most trusted analog emulations and puts them natively in your DAW, no UA hardware required. Inside, you'll find four distinct families of vintage-style processing. The iconic 1176 shows up in three versions that span its history, from the raw, aggressive FET compression of the early Rev A to the later fast, punchy sound that Sweetwater engineers picture when they hear the name. The LA-2A and its siblings deliver smooth, near-invisible leveling that has made optical compression a studio staple for vocals and bass guitar for decades. The Fairchild tube limiters add the thick, musical saturation behind some of the most celebrated mixes ever committed to tape. Finally, the Pultec EQ line rounds things out with the passive tube tone shaping that still defines vintage to this day. Load up the UAD Native Classics plugin bundle, and you can capture classic analog character without ever needing to touch a single patch cable.
Note: This product requires that you have an iLok account for authorization, although it does not require a physical iLok key. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions.
