Universal Audio Adds New UAD Plug-Ins Including VCA VU

March 13, 2008

Universal Audio today announced the web release of v4.10 software for the UAD Family of DSP Card's & Powered Plug-Ins™. Version 4.10 includes 14-day fully functional demos of both the new VCA VU Compressor (a faithful emulation of the classic discrete dbx 160 VU compressor) and new Precision Enhancer kHz; a UA-developed multi-mode Enhancer using unique equalization and dynamic expansion technology. Registered UAD customers can purchase full authorizations of each plug-in at my.uaudio.com for $149.

"We are continuing to rapidly expand our unique UAD plug-in portfolio with a two-pronged approach including a) cloning distinguished outboard classics from the historical archives such as the new VCA VU Compressor and b) innovating our own flavor of studio problem-solving utilities such as the Precision Enhancer kHz while keeping prices accessible to our project studio customers." said Mike Barnes, VP of Marketing for UA.

Key VCA VU Compressor/Limiter Features:

  • Plug-in emulation of the dbx 160, the very first solid-state VCA compressor
  • Faithfully modeled, same simple control set of its analog counterpart
  • Threshold, Compression and Output controls with VU meter mode selection
  • Modeled from desirable 'non-monolithic' original design, adding unique nonlinearities
