At the heart of the UAD 2 Solo Flexi is the cutting-edge SHARC 21369 floating-point processor which allows for larger and more sophisticated processing algorithms, and a level of power and complexity not found with host-based plug-ins. By reducing the burden on your computer’s CPU, your host application can now deliver more tracks, automation, virtual instruments and native effects.
All UAD 2’s feature the completely re-designed v5.0 software with a myriad of new performance and convenience enhancing features like LODE (Live Optimizing DSP Engine) which intelligently balances resources for maximum plug-in count and LiveTrack( low-latency mode) making it possible to monitor instruments through Powered Plug-Ins. The all-new unified Meter and Control Panel for UAD 1 and UAD 2 improves and streamlines Status Monitoring, Plug Purchasing, Help, Support and Software Updates. Also new for UAD 2 is the UA website which has been completely redesigned with integrated A/V Demo’s, tutorials, in-depth webzine articles, FAQ’s and enhanced support so you can really get the most out of your UAD 2.
The UA Powered Plug-In Collection brings the most sonically revered studio processors from the past 50 years of audio to your computer, including vintage equalizers and compressors, superior precision mastering tools, lush reverbs, and officially licensed classic hardware emulations from Neve, Roland, SPL and more.
