Analog Classics is a software bundle UAD is including in ALL of their UAD-2 DSP Accelerator cards. It is a collection of several of their best-selling and most-popular plug-ins to date — titles that truly capture UA’s Heritage, exemplify the quality of analog hardware emulations, and bring classic analog sound to the digital domain.

The Analog Classics Software Bundle Features:
  • LA-2A Classic Audio Leveler — This plug-in is the world’s most accurate emulation of our revered, electro-optical, analog compressor.
  • 1176LN Classic Limiting Amplifier — This plug-in is the world’s most accurate emulation of UA’s legendary, FET-based, hardware classic.
  • 1176SE Limiting Amplifier — A DSP-optimized version of the 1176LN, yielding higher instance counts and its own unique characteristics.
  • Pultec EQP-1A EQ — Another spot-on emulation of classic analog gear. Pultec EQs have been studio staples for decades and this plug-in proves equally indispensible.
  • RealVerb Pro Room Modeler — The RealVerb Pro has often been hailed repeatedly as the most flexible and natural sounding reverb plug-in in the industry.
With its four Analog Devices SHARC processors, the UAD 2 Quad Neve lets you run large professional mixes with ultra high-quality plug-ins, freeing up your Mac or PC’s internal processor for other mixing or virtual instrument duties. Whether you use Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo or Performer, a UAD 2 Quad Neve offers rich, analog sound quality that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with a native Mac- or PC-based system.

Developed by the industry’s finest engineering team, and backed by frequent new software and plug-in releases, UAD 2 QUAD cards have found a home with many of the world’s leading engineers and producers, powering multiple Platinum-selling and Grammy-winning records.

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
I did not expect to get as much out of this card as I have already. The number of instances of each plug-in you can get on song is crazy.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
The plug-ins are pristine. Nothing available with my DAW even compares to these sounds. I would love if the trial period for the other plug-ins never ended. So many great plug-ins
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
Easy as apple pie! I just opened up the Mac Pro, followed the install directions that came with the card and was in business within minutes.

Your general opinion of this product.
Love it!
Value
Was this item an overall good value?
The UAD2 Neve is a great entry point for some high quality sounds. You can definitely get by with the cards that have less DSP's...but this thing is awesome!

Big box to fit the card safely, shipped in even a larger box. Felt like I ordered a pair of riding boots for the misses!

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
The quality of sounds is more than I expected. This takes your sound to that "it" level for sure!
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
The versatility. When I first got it I simply pulled up some presets and checked it out. In about 1 hour I had a grasp on how everything worked and now I use my own settings. It's really that easy.
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
There is virtually no learning curve with the product itself. The learning curve is in being used to such a high quality sound and learning to refine your sound. These sounds are nowhere near the ones you may be accustomed to in your DAW.
Value
Was this item an overall good value?
Excellent value. You couldn't buy a Neve console for this price with this sound. I would recommend taking some time with what comes on the card instead of jumping into the demo. This way you get a firm grasp on what you have before you decide if you really need other plug-ins and which ones. I can honestly see having so much at your disposal until you literally don't know what to grab for what. While you may have the cool factor you won't be very productive.
Appearance
Appearance
The box is super huge. The card goes inside your computer and you only see it if you're looking at the back. It's out of sight and out of mind so the appearance is irrelevant.
